The Ten Plagues (continued) |
Exodus 9:8-35
The sixth plague God sent was
boils on their bodies.
The
LORD told
Moses
and Aaron to take
handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and
let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before
Pharaoh, and the fine dust in all the land of Egypt would
cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all of
Egypt. So
they took ashes from the furnace and before before Pharaoh, Moses
scattered the ashes toward heaven. They caused boils
to break out in sores on man and beast. The magicians had boils
too, and they could not stand before Moses.
The seventh plague God sent was
thunder, hail and fire.
Then the LORD told
Moses to rise early in the morning and go before Pharaoh, and tell
him to let His peple go to serve Him. This time He would send all
His plagues so that he would know that there was none like the LORD in
all the earth. He would show His power so that His name would be
declared in all the earth, and about the same time the next day He
would cause very heavy hail to rain
down, such as has not been in Egypt since the beginning. Pharaoh was warned to
gather his livestock and all that he had in the field, for the hail
would come down on every man and every animal which in the
field and they would die.
Those who feared the word of the LORD among the Pharaoh's servants fled to the houses. But he who did not regard the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field.
The next day the LORD sent thunder and hail in all of Egypt. The fire darted to the ground. The fire mingled with the hail and it was very heavy. And the hail struck over the whole land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast. The hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree in the field. Only the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

The Pharoah asked Moses and Aaron
to stop the thunder and hail
Then Pharaoh
sent for Moses and Aaron and told them he
had sinned. He told them that the LORD was righteous, and his
people were wicked.
the Pharaoh asked them to ask the LORD to stop the thunder and hail and
that he would let them go.
So Moses told him that after he left the city, he would spread out his hands to the LORD and the thunder would stop , and so would the hail so that he would know that the earth was the LORD'S. But Moses knew that the Pharaoh still did not fear the LORD God.
But Moses left the city and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and the hail stopped. When the Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and the thunder had stopped. He hardened his heart, and sinned again. The Pharaoh still would not let the LORD'S people go.

Exodus 10:1-29
The eighth plauge God sent was Locust.
The LORD told
Moses to go to Pharaoh for the LORD had hardened his heart and
the hearts
of his servants. The LORD had shown these signs before him
so that he would
know that He was the
LORD.”
Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh and told him what the LORD had to say. The LORD asked him how long he would refuse to let His people go and humble himself. If he refused again, the LORD would send a plague of locusts into his territory. They would cover the earth. They would fill all their houses. Then they left Pharaoh.
Then Pharaoh’s servants told him to let the LORD'S people go. So the Pharaoh brought Moses and Aaron before him again, and the Pharaoh asked them which ones would be going.
Moses told him that they would be going with their young and old, sons and daughters, and with their flocks and herds.
Then he said to them, “The LORD had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you. Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Then the LORD told Moses to stretch out his hand over the land of Egypt. So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron to come quickly, and told them he had sinned against the LORD their God. He asked them to forgive him this sin and asked to have the LORD take away the plague. Again the LORD caused a very strong west wind, which took away the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. All the locust were gone, but the LORD hardened the Pharaoh's heart again and he would not let His people go.

The ninth plague God sent was
Darkness over the land.
Then the LORD
told Moses to stretch out his hand toward heaven so that there
was darkness over
the land of Egypt for three days.
But all the children of Israel had light in their homes.
The Pharaoh called Moses again and told him they could go serve the LORD, but they were to keep their flocks and herds there.
Moses told them they had to give them sacrifices and burnt offerings to sacrifice to the LORD. They had to take some of their livestock.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go. Then Pharaoh told him to go away and not to see him anymore. For if he did, he would die. Moses told him he would never see his face again.

Exodus
Chapter 12:29-31
death of all the firstborn sons
The Lord
told His people (the Israelites) to prepare a meal and take the blood
of a lamb and put it on the doorpost of their homes. All those
who had obeyed would be spared the death of their firstborn son.
God's people, the Israelites, obeyed the LORD.
And when
midnight came the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt. The firstborn of Pharaoh to the captive in the dungeon
plus all the firstborn of livestock. So Pharaoh got
up
in the night, and so did all his servants, and all the Egyptians. There
was not a house where there was not one dead, so there was a great cry
in Egypt.
Then the Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron that night, and asked them go and leave them and go serve their LORD. He finally let them go.
