Exodus 10 |
The Eighth Plague
|
| 10:1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the
heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
|
| 10:2
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,
what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among
them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
|
(10:1, 20, 27) "I have hardened his heart."
God hardens Pharaoh's heart for the fifth time.
Who hardened the Pharaoh's heart?
 (10:2) "And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,
what things I have wrought in Egypt."
God wants to be remembered forever for the mass murder of little children.
|
| 10:3
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith
the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself
before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
|
| 10:4
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts
into thy coast: |
(10:4-15)
Eighth plague: locusts that are so thick
that they "covered the face of the earth."
|
| 10:5
And they shall cover
the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and
they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto
you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the
field:
|
| 10:6
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and
the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers'
fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this
day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. |
|
| 10:7
And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare
unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest
thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? |
|
| 10:8
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto
them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go? |
|
| 10:9
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons
and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for
we must hold a feast unto the LORD. |
|
| 10:10
And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go,
and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. |
|
| 10:11
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did
desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence. |
|
| 10:12
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of
Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat
every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. |
|
| 10:13
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD
brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and
when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. |
|
| 10:14
And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the
coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such
locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. |
|
| 10:15
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was
darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the
trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the
trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. |
|
| 10:16
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have
sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. |
|
| 10:17
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the
LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only. |
|
| 10:18
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. |
|
| 10:19
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the
locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in
all the coasts of Egypt. |
(10:20)
"But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of
Israel go."
God hardens Pharaoh's heart again (sixth time).
The Ninth Plague
|
| 10:20
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of
Israel go.
|
| 10:21
And the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over
the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
|
| 10:22
And Moses stretched
forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land
of Egypt three days:
|
| 10:23
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the
children of Israel had light in their dwellings. |
(10:21-23) Ninth plague: three days of darkness.
The darkness was so this that the Egyptians couldn't even see each other. But the
darkness knew how to avoid the Israelites, and so "all the children of
Israel had light in their dwellings."
|
| 10:24
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let
your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
|
| 10:25
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings,
that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. |
(10:25)
"Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings."
Did God command the Israelites to make him burnt
offerings?
|
| 10:26
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind;
for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with
what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
|
| 10:27
But the LORD
hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. |
(10:27)
"But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go."
God hardens Pharaoh's heart again (seventh time).
|
| 10:28
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my
face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
|
| 10:29
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
