Exodus 11:1-10
(11:1) The LORD said to Moses, "Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. (2) Speak now in the hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry." (3) And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people. (4) So Moses said, "Thus says the LORD: About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, (5) and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. (6) There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. (7) But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel. (8) And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, 'Get out, you and all the people who follow you.' And after that I will go out." And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. (9) Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt." (10) Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.

Summary: God bring the plague of the first born on Pharaoh and all of Egypt. He told Moses that then Pharaoh would let His people go. And, he told Moses that there was a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites (the Hebrews would become His chosen people, while they only saw the distinction as free vs. slave). Pharaoh did not listen, and hardened his heat. God said the rulers of Egypt would then bow down to the Israelites and let them go! Pharaoh hardened his own heart when he heard what Moses and Aaron said would happen if he did not let the Israelites go.
ReplyDeleteApplication: Lord Jesus, I so glad that You see us as who I will be, not just how I am right now. I’m a work in process, conforming to your fire and your Spirit to become the man you want me to be. Please don’t let me harden my heart like Pharaoh, and force You to make me see through a major calamity. Help me to soften to your will, and not stubbornly cling to my own plans!
Summary: God told Moses and Moses announced to Pharaoh that God would kill each 1st born and that after that, all Egyptian leaders would bow low to Moses and beg he and his people to leave along with gold and silver gifts as well.
ReplyDeleteApplication: God… my dad in heaven… you wanted to drive home a point that you are Lord, and that you make a distinction between Israelites and Egyptians. Thank you Lord that I am part of Israel’s kids, thank you for saving me. Please show others around me that I am your’s!
