Chapter 10 Eight Plague
:Locusts, Ninth plague :Darkness
1 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of
his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
2 And that thou mayest
tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought
in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that
I am the LORD.
3 And Moses and Aaron
came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the
Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people
go, that they may serve me.
4 Else, if thou refuse
to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
5 And they shall cover
the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall
eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the
hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 And they shall fill
thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the
Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since
the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and
went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaoh's
servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men
go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
destroyed?
8 And Moses and Aaron
were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your
God: but who are they that shall go?
9 And Moses said, We
will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters,
with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto
the LORD.
10 And he said unto
them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones:
look to it; for evil is before you.
11 Not so: go now ye
that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven
out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that
they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even
all that the hail hath left.
13 And Moses stretched
forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon
the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east
wind brought the locusts.
14 And the locusts
went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very
grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither
after them shall be such.
15 For they covered
the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat
every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left:
and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the
field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Then Pharaoh called
for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your
God, and against you.
17 Now therefore
forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God,
that he may take away from me this death only.
18 And he went out
from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
19 And the LORD turned
a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the
Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 But the LORD
hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness
over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched
forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of
Egypt three days:
23 They saw not one
another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children
of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 And Pharaoh called
unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your
herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 25 And Moses said, Thou
must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto
the LORD our God.
26 Our cattle also
shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we
take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the
LORD, until we come thither.
27 But the LORD
hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said
unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in
that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 And Moses said,
Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Chapter 11 Tenth plague: Death
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet
will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will
let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out
hence altogether.
2 Speak now in the ears of the
people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her
neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
3 And the LORD gave the people
favour 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 And Moses said, Thus saith the
LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5 And all the firstborn in the land
of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his
throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and
all the firstborn of beasts.
6 And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be
like it any more.
7 But against any of the children of
Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know
how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these thy servants shall
come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and
all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out
from Pharaoh in a great anger.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the
land of Egypt.
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these
wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would
not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Chapter 12 The Passover instituted; There are the
regulations for the Passover.
Verse 11. The Lord’s
Passover. This event serves as a beautiful illustration of the redemption
Christ accomplished at Calvary( John1:29; 1Cor.5:7) The offering was to be
without blemish (Ex.12:5;1 Pet.1:19)(2) The lamb had to be killed (Ex.12:6;
John 12:24,27) (3) The blood had to be applied (Ex.12:7.Heb.9:22). The Feast of
Unleavened Bread began on the evening of Passover (vv.6,18) and lasted for even
days . ON the first day, homes were to be completely cleared of leaven (a
symbol of corruption and evil. (Lev.2:11;1 Cor.5:7-8), and a sacred assembly
was to be called (Ex.12:16) The week was concluded with another convocation.
(Lev.23:6-8).
Verse 2. The First month of your year. This month was called by its Canaanite name Abib (13:4) meaning “ear” (because the grain was in the ear), though it was later called by the Babylonian name Nisan (Neh.2:1) Correlated with the Western calendar, the Hebrew religious calendar is as follows,
Nisan (Abib) = March –April.
Iyyar (Ziv) =
April –May
Sivan = May –June
Tammuz = June- July
Ab = July –August
Elul = Augest –September
Tishri (Ethanim) =
September –October
Marchesvan (Bul) = Ovtober-November
Chislev = November –December
Tebeth = December – January
Shebat = January- February
Adar = February –March
Verse. 22 Hyssop. A common
plant of the mint family. Because of its stiff branches and hairy leaves, it
served well for sprinkling. In addition to the Passover, it was also used in
the purifying of lepers (Lev.14:2-7), the cleansing of a plague (Lev.14:49-52),
and the sacrificing of the red heifer (Num.19:2-6).
Verse 40. The 430 years may be the total number of years spent in bondage in Egypt, thus approximately equivalent to the 400 years of Gen.15:13 and Acts 7:6. Or it may be that the years of bondage were 400 and the 430 year figure, used here and in Gal.3:17, refers to the time between the last confirmation of the Abrahamic covenant and the giving of the Mosaic law. ( Acts 13:19, where 450 years is the approximate time from the beginning of Egyptian bondage until after the conquest of Palestine, including the 40 years of wilderness wandering.
1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be
unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to
you.
3 Speak ye unto all
the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall
take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb
for an house:
4 And if the household
be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take
it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating
shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be
without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep,
or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it
up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the
congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
7 And they shall take
of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of
the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat
the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter
herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw,
nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and
with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let
nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until
the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye
eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your
hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
12 For I will pass
through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will
execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall
be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I
will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall
be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout
your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15 Seven days shall ye
eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your
houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the
seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 And in the first
day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be
an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that
which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
17 And ye shall
observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought
your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in
your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 In the first month,
on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread,
until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
19 Seven days shall
there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is
leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20 Ye shall eat nothing
leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
22 And ye shall take a
bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the
lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of
you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will
pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the
lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will
not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall
observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come
to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as
he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come
to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27 That ye shall say,
It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the
children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our
houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 And the children of
Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did
they.
29 And it came to
pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the
captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up
in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a
great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for
Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my
people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have
said.
32 Also take your
flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians
were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in
haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 And the people took
their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their
clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of
Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians
jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36 And the LORD gave
the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them
such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of
Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot
that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed
multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked
unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was
not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry,
neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40 Now the sojourning
of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty
years.
41 And it came to pass
at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came
to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be
much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this
is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their
generations.
43 And the LORD said
unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no
stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's
servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he
eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an
hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall
it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the
house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the
congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger
shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his
males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be
as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to
him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did all the
children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass
the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt by their armies.
