Exodus 11 - The Worst Plague

The tenth and worst plague - Death of the firstborn

The Lord told Moses to instruct every Israelite to ask their (Egyptian) neighbor for silver, gold and clothing. Moses was held in high esteem by the servants and other Egyptians. Then he advised them that at midnight the Lord would go through Egypt and every firstborn would be slain, human and animal alike. He told them that not even a dog would growl to warn them, but there would be loud wailing throughout the land and the Pharaoh would send the people on their way, but God made the Pharaoh stubborn one more time so that his power could be demonstrated and the people would learn that there is but one true God; the God of the Israelites.

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
