MOSES & PHARAOH
Exodus 7:1,5-7,9-12
[1]So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
[5]And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”
[9]“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ”
[10]So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
[11]But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
[12]For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
THE PLAQUES:
BLOOD:
Exodus 7:17,20-21,23
[17]Thus says the Lord: “By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood.
[20]And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
[21]The fish that were in the river died, the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
[23]And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither was his heart moved by this.
FROGS:
Exodus 8:1-2,6,8,13
[1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
[2]But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.
[6]So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
[8]Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”
[13]So the Lord did according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields.
LICE:
Exodus 8:15-16,18-19
[15]But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the Lord had said. The Third Plague: Lice
[16]So the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’ ”
[18]Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.
[19]Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
FLIES:
Exodus 8:21,24,28,30-32
[21]Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
[24]And the Lord did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.
[28]So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me.”
[30]So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord.
[31]And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.
[32]But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go.
LIVESTOCK:
Exodus 9:2-3,6-7
[2]For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,
[3]behold, the hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence.
[6]So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
[7]Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go.
BOILS:
Exodus 9:8,10-12
[8]So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh.
[10]Then they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them toward heaven. And they caused boils that break out in sores on man and beast.
[11]And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
[12]But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
HAIL & FIRE:
Exodus 9:17-18,23,25,27,34
[17]As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go.
[18]Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now.
[23]And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.
[25]And the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.
[27]And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
[34]And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart, he and his servants.
LOCUST:
Exodus 10:12-13,15,19-20
[12]Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
[13]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.
[15]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.
[19]And the Lord turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt.
[20]But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
DARKNESS:
Exodus 10:21,23
[21]Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.”
[23]They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
[27]But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and her would not let them go.
DEATH OF FIRST BORN:
Exodus 11:4-6,10
[4]Then Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt;
[5]and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the animals.
[6]Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again.
[10]So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; and the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
