Exodus 9 |
|
| 9:1
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. |
(9:3-6)
"The hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle."
The fifth plague: all cattle in Egypt die. But a little later, in the seventh and tenth plagues, God kills them all again.
(Exodus 9:19-20, 12:29)
The Fifth Plague
|
| 9:2
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
|
| 9:3
Behold, the hand of the
LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the
asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a
very grievous murrain.
|
| 9:4
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of
Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
|
| 9:5
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do
this thing in the land.
|
| 9:6
And the LORD did that
thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the
cattle of the children of Israel died not one. |
(9:6) "All the cattle of Egypt died."
God kills all the cattle (the first time)
(See Exodus 9:19-20 and 12:29 for other divine cattle killings.)
(9:9)
The sixth plague: boils and blains upon man and beast.
The Sixth Plague
|
| 9:7
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the
Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let
the people go.
|
| 9:8
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes
of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of
Pharaoh.
|
| 9:9
And it shall become
small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
|
| 9:10
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast. |
 (9:12)
"And the LORD hardened
the heart of Pharaoh."
God hardens Pharaoh's heart the 4th time.
Who hardened the Pharaoh's heart?
|
| 9:11
And the magicians could
not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the
magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
|
| 9:12
And the LORD hardened
the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
spoken unto Moses. |
The Seventh Plague
|
| 9:13
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews,
Let my people go, that they may serve me.
|
| 9:14
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the
earth. |
(9:14)
"For I will ... send all my plagues ... that thou mayest know that there is
none like me in all the earth."
(Who else but the Bible God could be so cruel?)
God sends plagues so that people can get to know him better.
|
| 9:15
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
|
| 9:16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee
my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
|
| 9:17
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let
them go? |
|
| 9:18
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous
hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until
now. |
|
| 9:19
Send therefore now, and gather
thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast
which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail
shall come down upon them, and they shall die. |
(9:19)
"Hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die."
The seventh plague is hail. "And the
hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and
beast."
(9:19)
God kills all cattle (the second time)
(See Exodus 9:6 and 12:29 for God's other cattle killings.)
|
9:20
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and
his cattle flee into the houses:
| 9:21
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his
cattle in the field.
| | 9:22
And the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all
the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the
field, throughout the land of Egypt. |
| | 9:23
And Moses stretched
forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the
fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of
Egypt. |
| | 9:24
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as
there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. |
| | 9:25
And the hail smote
throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and
beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree
of the field. |
| | 9:26
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there
no hail. |
| | 9:27
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I
have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are
wicked. |
| | 9:28
Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty
thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. |
| | 9:29
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will
spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither
shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is
the LORD's. |
(9:29) "The earth is the Lord's."
Who owns the earth?
| | 9:30
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the
LORD God. |
| | 9:31
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was bolled. |
| | 9:32
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up. |
| | 9:33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured
upon the earth. |
| | 9:34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were
ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. |
| | 9:35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children
of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses. |
