Hi, and welcome back
to His Words are Life.
00:00:16.80\00:00:18.92
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we're
going to continue reading in
00:00:18.95\00:00:22.22
the story of Exodus, about God
setting people free from Pharaoh
00:00:22.25\00:00:26.95
and the Egyptians. But before
we read, let's pray together.
00:00:26.98\00:00:29.11
Dear God, Thank you so much for
these words that we can come to
00:00:29.14\00:00:34.78
You; those of us who are feeling
weak. These words make us strong
00:00:34.81\00:00:38.83
Those of us who may be
discouraged, these words
00:00:38.86\00:00:42.55
give us courage and hope in You.
Those of us who have questions
00:00:42.58\00:00:46.51
things we're facing,
this word will give us wisdom.
00:00:46.54\00:00:48.91
Please be with us now as we
read. May we be strengthened
00:00:48.94\00:00:52.28
to serve thee better. We
love you so much and thank you
00:00:52.31\00:00:54.78
for loving us. Amen.
When we were together last,
00:00:54.81\00:00:58.20
after reading about the plagues
that God is beginning to send
00:00:58.23\00:01:02.15
on Egypt. We're in the middle
of the plague of the frogs.
00:01:02.18\00:01:05.05
And Pharaoh has come to Moses
and said, Get rid of the frogs
00:01:05.08\00:01:08.50
and I'll let your people
go to worship. And Moses said,
00:01:08.53\00:01:12.08
When do you want them to be
gone? And Pharaoh sets the time,
00:01:12.11\00:01:14.94
and Moses said, I will do as
you say so that you will know
00:01:14.97\00:01:17.42
that there is a God in heaven.
And we begin to pick up here on
00:01:17.45\00:01:21.54
Exodus, chapter 8, and
starting with verse 11.
00:01:21.57\00:01:24.77
And this is the
King James Version.
00:01:24.80\00:01:25.90
And the frogs shall depart from
thee and from thy houses and
00:01:25.93\00:01:30.64
from thy servants, and
from thy people. And they shall
00:01:30.67\00:01:33.58
remain in the river only.
And Moses and Aaron went out
00:01:33.61\00:01:36.90
from Pharaoh and Moses cried
unto the Lord because of the
00:01:36.93\00:01:39.83
frogs which he had brought
against Pharaoh. And the Lord
00:01:39.86\00:01:43.04
did according to the word
of Moses. And the frogs died
00:01:43.07\00:01:46.63
out of the houses, out of the
villages, and out of the fields.
00:01:46.66\00:01:49.44
And they gathered them together
upon heaps and the land stank.
00:01:49.47\00:01:53.63
But when Pharaoh saw that there
was respite, he hardened his
00:01:53.66\00:01:57.50
heart and hearkened not
unto them, as the Lord has said.
00:01:57.53\00:02:01.06
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Say unto Aaron, stretch out thy
00:02:01.09\00:02:05.34
rod and smite the dust of
the land that it may become lice
00:02:05.37\00:02:09.32
throughout all the land
of Egypt. And they did so;
00:02:09.35\00:02:12.95
For Aaron stretched out his
hand with his rod and smote the
00:02:12.98\00:02:16.21
dust of the earth, and it
became lice in man and in beast.
00:02:16.24\00:02:20.69
All the dust of the land became
lice throughout all the land of
00:02:20.72\00:02:24.00
Egypt. And the magicians
did so with their enchantments
00:02:24.03\00:02:27.68
to bring forth lice, but they
could not. So there were lice
00:02:27.71\00:02:31.69
upon man, and upon beast. Then
the magicians said unto Pharaoh,
00:02:31.72\00:02:36.80
This is the finger of God.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened
00:02:36.83\00:02:40.41
and he hearkened not unto
them, as the Lord had said.
00:02:40.44\00:02:42.62
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Rise up early in the morning
00:02:42.65\00:02:45.61
and stand before Pharaoh.
Lo he cometh forth to water
00:02:45.64\00:02:49.61
and say unto him, Thus
saith the Lord, Let my people go
00:02:49.64\00:02:54.27
that they may serve him, else
if will not let my people go,
00:02:54.30\00:02:58.73
behold, I will send swarms
of flies upon thee and upon thy
00:02:58.76\00:03:03.96
servants, and upon thy people,
into thy houses, and the houses
00:03:03.99\00:03:08.16
of the Egyptians shall be
full of swarms of flies and also
00:03:08.19\00:03:13.12
the ground whereon they are.
And I will sever in that day
00:03:13.15\00:03:17.26
the land of Goshen in which my
people dwell that no swarms of
00:03:17.29\00:03:21.45
flies shall be there, to
the end that thou mayest know
00:03:21.48\00:03:24.97
that I am the Lord in the midst
of the earth. And I will put a
00:03:25.00\00:03:29.33
division between my
people, and thy people tomorrow
00:03:29.36\00:03:33.44
shall the sign be. And the Lord
did so and there came a grievous
00:03:33.47\00:03:38.76
swarm of flies into the house of
Pharaoh and into the servants'
00:03:38.79\00:03:42.43
houses and all the land of
Egypt. The land was corrupted
00:03:42.46\00:03:45.88
by reason of swarms of flies.
And Pharaoh called for Moses and
00:03:45.91\00:03:50.59
for Aaron and said, Go
ye, sacrifice to your God
00:03:50.62\00:03:53.40
in the land. And Moses
said, It is not meat so to do,
00:03:53.43\00:03:58.49
for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians
00:03:58.52\00:04:01.37
for the Lord our God. Lo, shall
we sacrifice the abomination
00:04:01.40\00:04:05.25
of the Egyptians before their
eyes and will they not stone us?
00:04:05.28\00:04:08.67
We will go 3 days journey into
the wilderness and sacrifice
00:04:08.70\00:04:12.92
to the Lord our God as he shall
command us. And Pharaoh said,
00:04:12.95\00:04:15.72
And Pharaoh said, I will let you
go, that ye may sacrifice to the
00:04:15.75\00:04:21.02
Lord your God in the wilderness;
only ye shall not go very far
00:04:21.05\00:04:24.68
away: entreat for me. And Moses
said, Behold, I go out from thee
00:04:24.71\00:04:29.78
and I will entreat the Lord that
the swarms of flies may depart
00:04:29.81\00:04:32.58
from Pharaoh, from his servants
and from his people, tomorrow:
00:04:32.61\00:04:35.46
but let not Pharaoh deal
deceitfully any more in not
00:04:35.49\00:04:39.75
letting the people go
to sacrifice to the Lord.
00:04:39.78\00:04:41.98
And Moses went out from
Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord.
00:04:42.01\00:04:45.49
And the Lord did
according to the word of Moses;
00:04:45.52\00:04:47.93
And he removed the
swarms of flies from Pharaoh,
00:04:47.96\00:04:51.33
from his servants, and from his
people; there remained not one.
00:04:51.36\00:04:54.98
And Pharaoh hardened his heart
at this time also, neither would
00:04:55.01\00:05:00.09
he let the people go.
Continuing to read in Exodus,
00:05:00.12\00:05:05.92
This is chapter 9,
The King James Version.
00:05:05.95\00:05:08.41
Then the Lord said unto Moses,
Go in unto Pharaoh and tell him,
00:05:08.44\00:05:13.00
Thus saith the Lord God of
the Hebrews, Let my people go,
00:05:13.03\00:05:17.38
that they may serve me. For
if thou refuse to let them go,
00:05:17.41\00:05:21.56
and wilt hold them still, Behold
the hand of the Lord is upon
00:05:21.59\00:05:26.54
thy cattle which is in
the field, upon the horses,
00:05:26.57\00:05:29.53
upon the asses, upon the camels,
upon the oxen and upon the sheep
00:05:29.56\00:05:33.90
there shall be a very grievous
murrain. And the Lord shall
00:05:33.93\00:05:38.90
sever between the cattle of
Israel and the cattle of Egypt:
00:05:38.93\00:05:41.86
and there shall nothing die
of all that is the children's of
00:05:41.89\00:05:46.17
Israel. And the Lord appointed
a set time, saying, Tomorrow
00:05:46.20\00:05:50.57
the Lord shall do this thing in
the land. And the Lord did that
00:05:50.60\00:05:55.01
thing on the morrow, and
all the cattle of Egypt died:
00:05:55.04\00:05:58.83
But of the cattle of the
children of Israel died not one.
00:05:58.86\00:06:02.46
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold,
there was not one of the cattle
00:06:02.49\00:06:06.23
of the Israelites dead. And the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
00:06:06.26\00:06:09.71
and he did not let the people
go. And the Lord said to Moses
00:06:09.74\00:06:14.14
and unto Aaron, Take to you
handfuls of ashes of the furnace
00:06:14.17\00:06:18.61
and let Moses sprinkle it
toward the heaven in the sight
00:06:18.64\00:06:21.82
of Pharaoh. And it shall become
small dust in all the land of
00:06:21.85\00:06:26.16
Egypt, and shall be a
boil breaking forth with blains
00:06:26.19\00:06:30.19
upon man, and upon beast,
throughout all the land of
00:06:30.22\00:06:33.75
Egypt. And they took ashes
of the furnace, and stood before
00:06:33.78\00:06:37.44
Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it
up toward heaven; and it became
00:06:37.47\00:06:41.51
a boil breaking forth with
blains upon man, and upon beast.
00:06:41.54\00:06:46.30
And the magicians could not
stand before Moses because of
00:06:46.33\00:06:50.05
the boils; for the boil was
upon the magicians, and upon all
00:06:50.08\00:06:53.52
the Egyptians. And the Lord
hardened the heart of Pharaoh,
00:06:53.55\00:06:57.53
and he hearkened not unto them;
as the Lord had spoken unto
00:06:57.56\00:07:01.31
Moses. And the Lord said
unto Moses, Rise up early in the
00:07:01.34\00:07:05.81
morning, and stand before
Pharaoh, and say unto him,
00:07:05.84\00:07:08.38
Thus saith the Lord God of
the Hebrews, Let my people go,
00:07:08.41\00:07:11.34
that they may serve me. For
I will at this time send all my
00:07:11.37\00:07:16.63
plagues upon thine heart, and
upon they servants, and upon thy
00:07:16.66\00:07:19.88
people; that thou mayest
know that there is none like me
00:07:19.91\00:07:23.42
in all the earth. For now I will
stretch out my hand, that I may
00:07:23.45\00:07:28.94
smite thee and thy people with
pestilence; and thou shalt be
00:07:28.97\00:07:32.84
cut off from the earth.
And in very deed for this cause
00:07:32.87\00:07:37.02
have I raised thee up,
for to shew in thee my power;
00:07:37.05\00:07:41.19
and that my name may be declared
throughout all the earth.
00:07:41.22\00:07:45.01
As yet exaltest thou
thyself against my people,
00:07:45.04\00:07:48.40
that thou wilt not let them go?
Behold, tomorrow about this time
00:07:48.43\00:07:53.49
I will cause it to rain a very
grievous hail, such as hath not
00:07:53.52\00:07:59.48
been in Egypt since the
foundation thereof even until
00:07:59.51\00:08:03.08
now. Send therefore now, and
gather thy cattle, and all that
00:08:03.11\00:08:07.39
thou hast in the field; for upon
every man and beast which shall
00:08:07.42\00:08:11.61
be found in the field, and shall
not be brought home, the hail
00:08:11.64\00:08:15.07
shall come down upon them, and
they shall die. He that feared
00:08:15.10\00:08:20.03
the word of the Lord
among the servants of Pharaoh
00:08:20.06\00:08:22.56
made his servants
and his cattle flee
00:08:22.59\00:08:25.38
into the houses:
And he that regarded not
00:08:25.42\00:08:28.40
the word of the Lord left his
servants and his cattle in the
00:08:28.43\00:08:31.49
field. And the Lord said unto
Moses, Stretch forth thine hand
00:08:31.52\00:08:35.24
toward heaven, that there may be
hail in all the land of Egypt,
00:08:35.27\00:08:39.10
upon man, and upon beast, and
upon every herb of the field,
00:08:39.13\00:08:43.22
throughout the land of
Egypt. And Moses stretched forth
00:08:43.25\00:08:46.85
his rod toward heaven: and
the Lord sent thunder and hail,
00:08:46.88\00:08:50.44
and the fire ran along upon the
ground; and the Lord rained hail
00:08:50.47\00:08:54.69
upon the land of Egypt. So there
was hail, and fire mingled with
00:08:54.72\00:08:59.86
the hail, very grievous, such
as there was none like it in all
00:08:59.89\00:09:04.20
the land of Egypt
since it became a nation.
00:09:04.23\00:09:06.27
And the hail smote throughout
all the land of Egypt all that
00:09:06.30\00:09:09.96
was in the field, both man and
beast; and the hail smote every
00:09:09.99\00:09:13.81
herb of the field, and
brake every tree of the field.
00:09:13.84\00:09:16.44
Only in the land of Goshen where
the children of Israel were,
00:09:16.47\00:09:20.20
was there no hail. And Pharaoh
sent, and called for Moses and
00:09:20.23\00:09:24.89
Aaron, and said unto
them, I have sinned this time:
00:09:24.92\00:09:27.83
The Lord is righteous, and I and
m people are wicked. Entreat the
00:09:27.86\00:09:32.19
Lord, for it is enough,
that there be no more mighty
00:09:32.22\00:09:34.61
thunderings and hail; and I
will let you go, and ye shall
00:09:34.64\00:09:37.92
stay no longer. And Moses said
unto him, As soon as I am gone
00:09:37.95\00:09:41.70
out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands unto the Lord;
00:09:41.73\00:09:45.11
and the thunder shall cease,
neither shall there be any more
00:09:45.14\00:09:48.37
hail; that thou mayest know how
that the earth is the Lord's.
00:09:48.40\00:09:52.29
But as for thee and thy
servants, I know that ye will
00:09:52.32\00:09:55.59
not yet fear the Lord God.
And the flax and the barley
00:09:55.62\00:09:59.37
was smitten: for the barley
was in the ear, and the flax was
00:09:59.40\00:10:02.02
bolled. But the wheat and the
rye were not smitten: for they
00:10:02.05\00:10:05.59
were not grown up. And
Moses went out of the city from
00:10:05.62\00:10:08.83
Pharaoh, and spread
abroad his hands unto the Lord:
00:10:08.86\00:10:11.78
and the thunders and hail ceased
and the rain was not poured upon
00:10:11.81\00:10:16.01
the earth. And when Pharaoh
saw that the rain and the hail
00:10:16.04\00:10:19.92
and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more, and hardened
00:10:19.95\00:10:24.14
his heart, he and his servants.
And the heart of Pharaoh
00:10:24.17\00:10:27.91
was hardened, neither would he
let the children of Israel go;
00:10:27.94\00:10:30.82
as the Lord had spoken by
Moses. We're continuing to read
00:10:30.85\00:10:34.77
in the book of
Exodus, chapter 10.
00:10:34.80\00:10:36.74
and this is the
King James Version.
00:10:36.77\00:10:38.31
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
00:10:38.34\00:10:42.99
hardened his heart, and
the heart of his servants,
00:10:43.02\00:10:45.69
that I might shew these my signs
before him: And that thou mayest
00:10:45.72\00:10:51.09
tell in the ears of thy son, and
of the son's son, what things
00:10:51.12\00:10:55.54
I have wrought in Egypt, and
my signs I have done among them;
00:10:55.57\00:10:59.76
that ye may know how that I am
the Lord. And Moses and Aaron,
00:10:59.79\00:11:05.27
came in unto Pharaoh, and said
unto him, Thus saith the Lord
00:11:05.30\00:11:08.93
God of the Hebrews, How
long wilt thou refuse to humble
00:11:08.96\00:11:12.51
thyself before me? Let my people
go, that they may serve me.
00:11:12.54\00:11:16.83
Else, if thou refuse to let my
people go, behold, tomorrow will
00:11:16.86\00:11:22.25
I bring the locusts into thy
coast: And they shall cover the
00:11:22.28\00:11:26.16
face of the earth, that one
cannot be able to see the earth:
00:11:26.19\00:11:29.63
and they shall eat the residue
of that which is escaped,
00:11:29.66\00:11:33.59
which remaineth unto you from
the hail, and shall eat every
00:11:33.62\00:11:36.53
tree which groweth for you
out of the field: And they shall
00:11:36.56\00:11:40.16
fill thy houses, and the houses
of all thy servants, and the
00:11:40.19\00:11:43.08
houses of all the Egyptians;
which neither thy fathers,
00:11:43.11\00:11:45.86
not they fathers' fathers have
seen, since the day that they
00:11:45.89\00:11:49.53
were upon the earth unto
this day. And he turned himself,
00:11:49.56\00:11:53.10
and went out from Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh's servants said
00:11:53.13\00:11:56.89
unto him, How long shall
this man be a snare unto us?
00:11:56.92\00:12:00.95
let the men go, that they
may serve the Lord their God:
00:12:00.98\00:12:03.88
knowest thou not yet
that Egypt is destroyed?
00:12:03.91\00:12:06.90
And Moses and Aaron were brought
again unto Pharaoh: and he said
00:12:06.93\00:12:11.72
unto them, Go, serve the
Lord your God: but who are they
00:12:11.75\00:12:16.45
that shall go? And Moses said,
We will go with our young and
00:12:16.48\00:12:20.71
our old, with our sons and with
our daughters, with our flocks
00:12:20.74\00:12:24.80
and with our herds will we
go; for we must hold a feast
00:12:24.83\00:12:28.01
unto the Lord. And he said
unto them, Let the Lord be so
00:12:28.04\00:12:32.77
with you, as I will let you go,
and your little ones: look to it
00:12:32.80\00:12:36.65
for evil is before you.
Not so: go now ye that are men,
00:12:36.68\00:12:41.92
and serve the Lord;
for that ye did desire.
00:12:41.95\00:12:44.65
And they were driven
out from Pharaoh's presence.
00:12:44.68\00:12:47.23
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand over the
00:12:47.26\00:12:51.18
land of Egypt for the locusts,
that they may come up upon
00:12:51.21\00:12:54.22
the land of Egypt and eat every
herb of the land, even all that
00:12:54.25\00:12:58.36
the hail hath left. And
Moses stretched forth his rod
00:12:58.39\00:13:02.16
over the land of Egypt, and the
Lord brought an east wind upon
00:13:02.19\00:13:04.91
the land all that day, and
all that night, and when it was
00:13:04.94\00:13:08.37
morning, the east wind brought
the locusts. And the locusts
00:13:08.40\00:13:11.92
went up over all the land
of Egypt, and rested in all the
00:13:11.95\00:13:14.98
coasts of Egypt: very grievous
were they; before them there
00:13:15.01\00:13:19.03
were no such locusts as they,
neither after them shall be such
00:13:19.06\00:13:22.47
for they covered the face of the
whole earth, so that the land
00:13:22.50\00:13:25.48
was darkened; and they did eat
every herb of the land, and all
00:13:25.51\00:13:29.25
the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left and there remained
00:13:29.28\00:13:32.60
not any green thing in the trees
or in the herbs of the field,
00:13:32.63\00:13:36.12
through all the land of Egypt.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses
00:13:36.15\00:13:40.45
and Aaron in haste; and he
said, I have sinned against the
00:13:40.48\00:13:43.58
Lord your God, and against you.
Now therefore forgive, I pray
00:13:43.61\00:13:47.69
thee, my sin only this once,
and entreat the Lord your God,
00:13:47.72\00:13:51.49
that he may take away from me
this death only. And he went out
00:13:51.52\00:13:56.59
from Pharaoh, and entreated
the Lord. And the Lord turned a
00:13:56.62\00:13:59.60
mighty strong west wind, which
took away the locusts, and cast
00:13:59.63\00:14:04.02
them into the Red sea;
there remained not one locust
00:14:04.05\00:14:07.76
in all the coasts of Egypt.
But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's
00:14:07.79\00:14:12.42
heart, so that he would not
let the children of Israel go.
00:14:12.45\00:14:15.50
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand toward
00:14:15.53\00:14:19.55
heaven, that there may be
darkness over the land of Egypt,
00:14:19.58\00:14:23.33
even darkness which may be felt.
00:14:23.36\00:14:25.94
We'll pick up the story again
next time. Thank you for joining
00:14:25.97\00:14:29.61
with me. May God keep
you and bless you until then.
