Page 1 / 5 (Exo 1:8–Exo 9:29)
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.
The midwives said to Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them.”
But when she could no longer hide him, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with asphalt and pitch. She placed the child in it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.
So Moses thought, “I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn’t the bush burning up? ”
“However, I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go, even under force from a strong hand.
“And I will give these people such favor with the Egyptians that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
Moses answered, “What if they won’t believe me and will not obey me but say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’? ”
“If they will not believe you and will not respond to the evidence of the first sign, they may believe the evidence of the second sign.
“And if they don’t believe even these two signs or listen to what you say, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”
But Moses replied to the LORD, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent — either in the past or recently or since you have been speaking to your servant — because my mouth and my tongue are sluggish.”[fn]
The LORD said to him, “Who placed a mouth on humans? Who makes a person mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
Then the LORD’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “Isn’t Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, he is on his way now to meet you. He will rejoice when he sees you.
The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, make sure you do before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart[fn] so that he won’t let the people go.
But Pharaoh responded, “Who is the LORD that I should obey him by letting Israel go? I don’t know[fn] the LORD, and besides, I will not let Israel go.”
“Don’t continue to supply the people with straw for making bricks, as before. They must go and gather straw for themselves.
“But require the same quota of bricks from them as they were making before; do not reduce it. For they are slackers — that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s slave drivers had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why haven’t you finished making your prescribed number of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before? ”
“Now get to work. No straw will be given to you, but you must produce the same quantity of bricks.”
The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You cannot reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
“Ever since I went in to Pharaoh to speak in your name he has caused trouble for this people, and you haven’t rescued your people at all.”
“I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I was not known to them by my name ‘the LORD.’[fn]
Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their broken spirit and hard labor.
But Moses said in the LORD’s presence, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then how will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am such a poor speaker? ”[fn]
“Pharaoh will not listen to you, but I will put my hand into Egypt and bring the military divisions of my people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.
However, Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
“Tell him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let my people go, so that they may worship[fn] me in the wilderness. But so far you have not listened.
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad the Egyptians could not drink water from it. There was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
But the magicians of Egypt did the same thing by their occult practices. So Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
All the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink because they could not drink the water from the river.
But when Pharaoh saw there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
The magicians tried to produce gnats using their occult practices, but they could not. The gnats remained on people and animals.
“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
But Moses said, “It would not be right[fn] to do that, because what we will sacrifice to the LORD our God is detestable to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what the Egyptians detest in front of them, won’t they stone us?
Pharaoh responded, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but don’t go very far. Make an appeal for me.”
The LORD did as Moses had said: He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people; not one was left.
“But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that the Israelites own will die.”
The LORD did this the next day. All the Egyptian livestock died, but none among the Israelite livestock died.
Pharaoh sent messengers who saw that not a single one of the Israelite livestock was dead. But Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not let the people go.
The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the Egyptians.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had told Moses.
“Tomorrow at this time I will rain down the worst hail that has ever occurred in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.
“Therefore give orders to bring your livestock and all that you have in the field into shelters. Every person and animal that is in the field and not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.”
but those who didn’t take to heart the LORD’s word left their servants and livestock in the field.
The hail, with lightning flashing through it, was so severe that nothing like it had occurred in the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
“Make an appeal to the LORD. There has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t need to stay any longer.”
