Right now we are talking about the story of Moses. Moses was chosen to ask Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go. God wanted these children of Israel to become a peculiar people. He wanted them to become the twelve tribes of Israel. They will be a holy nation of priests. In order for the children of Israel to become all of these wonderful things, they needed to obey the Lord's voice and keep His covenant. If the children of Israel could accomplish these things they will become this wonderful group of people and be a treasure above all other people.
I think we can make a good application to us from these verses. I believe that it really isn't any different in our day. If we obey Him and keep our covenants that we made with Him then we will become Priests and Priestesses of our own worlds and just live in this wonderful paradise with our Heavenly Father. I believe that there are reasons why certain stories are in the scriptures. It is for our benefit in our day so that we can be taught lessons. There is a lot of symbolisms and just other parts that are meant for us also. I know that if we follow is voice and keep His covenants then we will be treasured above all other people.
