Exodus

Chapter 9

1 Then Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
"Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him,
'Thus said Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead of the Hebrews,
Let My people go . . . that they may serve Me.' 2

For if you refuse to let them go,
and will hold them still, 3
behold, the hand of Jehovah/God
is upon your cattle which are in the field,
upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels,
upon the oxen, and upon the sheep.

There shall be a very grievous murrain/'cattle-plague'.

4 And Jehovah/God shall sever/'mark out'/separate
between the cattle of Israel
and the cattle of Egypt.

And there shall nothing die of all who is the children's of Israel.

5 And Jehovah/God appointed a set time, saying,
"Tomorrow Jehovah/God shall do this thing in the land."

6 And Jehovah/God did that thing on the morrow,
and all the cattle of Egypt died.

But of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold,
there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead.

However, the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
and he did not let the people go.

8 And Jehovah/God said unto Moses and unto Aaron,
"Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace,
and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven
in the sight of Pharaoh. 9

And it shall become 'clouds of particles'/'small dust'
in all the land of Egypt,
and shall be a boil/'inflamed spot {like leprosy}
breaking forth with blisters/boils upon man,
and upon animal/beast,
throughout all the land of Egypt."

10 And they took ashes of the furnace,
and stood before Pharaoh.

And Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven.

And it became a boil/'inflamed spot {like leprosy}
breaking forth with blisters/boils upon man
upon man, and upon animal/beast.

11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses
because of the boils . . .
for the boil was upon the magicians,
and upon all the Egyptians.

12~~And Jehovah/God caused the hardening
of the heart of Pharaoh,
and he {Pharaoh Amenhotep II} did not listen to them;
just as Jehovah/God predicted to Moses.

{Note: First time this occurred. Pharaoh has been negative on his own the first six times. That was it. Now scar tissue has been completed and he should be taken out under the sin unto death. But, 'Elohiym/Godhead tells us He kept Pharaoh alive for HIS own purpose - to be an example to others.}

13-14~~Then Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
"Rise up early in the morning,
and stand before Pharaoh,
and say unto him,
Thus decrees Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead of the Hebrews,
Let My people go,
that they may serve Me . . . 14~~
for this time I will send all My plagues
to your heart/'right lobe of your mentality',
both upon your servants and upon your people
that you may know
that there is no one like Me in all the earth."

{The 'Probable' - Not Recorded in Divine Decrees - only in God's Omniscience}
{An Alternative 'Elohiym/Godhead Could Have Used Again Pharaoh But Did Not}
15~~"For if by now
I have put forth My hand {anthropomorphism}
and struck you down and your people with disease,
you would then have been cut off from the earth."

{The Actual - Found in the Divine Decrees}
{This is in a Pause Between the Sixth and Seventh Plagues}
16~~"But, on the contrary,
  {God did not destroy the Pharaoh and his people}
for this purpose
'I {God} have established you'/
'I have permitted you to continue in history',
in order that I might
'show you'/'cause you to see'/'demonstrate to you'
My power . . .
in order that My Reputation/Name/Person {shem}
may be engraved/written {celebrated} {caphar}
throughout all the earth."

{Note: Paul quoted this verse in Romans 9:17. This is Pharaoh Amenhotep II - son of Thutmose III. Amenhotep was maybe the most stubborn man who ever lived. He absolutely refused to believe. A whole generation positive at God's consciousness became believers - including Rahab the prostitute in Jericho (Joshua 2:10-11).}

17 "As yet you exalt you yourself against My people,
that you will not let them go? 18

Behold, tomorrow about this time
I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail,
such as has not been in Egypt
since the foundation thereof even until now. 19

Send therefore now,
and gather your cattle,
and all who you have in the field . . .
for upon every man and animal/beast
which shall be found in the field,
and shall not be brought home,
the hail shall come down upon them,
and they shall die."

20 He who respected/feared the Word of Jehovah/God
among the servants of Pharaoh
made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.

21 And he who respected/regarded not the Word of Jehovah/God
left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
"Stretch forth your hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt,
upon man, and upon animal/beast,
and upon every herb of the field,
throughout the land of Egypt.

23 And Moses stretched forth his staff/rod toward heaven.

And Jehovah/God sent thunder and hail,
and the fire ran along upon the ground.

And Jehovah/God rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24 So there was hail,
and fire mingled with the hail,
very grievous,
such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt
since it became a nation.

25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt
all who was in the field,
both man and animal/beast;
and the hail smote every herb of the field,
and broke every tree of the field.

26 Only in the land of Goshen,
where the children of Israel were,
was there no hail.

27a And Pharaoh sent,
and called for Moses and Aaron,
and said unto them,
"I have sinned this time."

{Note: This looks very much like rebound - I John 1:9. But, rebound is only for believers. The issue for the Pharaoh was not rebound but salvation - do you believe? And he did not have faith in God so this is meaningless.}

27b "Jehovah/God is righteous,
and I and My people are wicked. 28

Pray/Entreat Jehovah/God (for it is enough)
that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail
and I will let you go,
and you shall stay no longer."
29 And Moses said unto him,
"As soon as I have gone out of the city,
I will spread abroad my hands unto Jehovah/God
and the thunder shall cease,
neither shall there be any more hail . . .
that you may know how that the earth is Jehovah/God's. 30

But as for you and your servants,
I know that you will not yet respect/fear Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead.

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten
for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was budded/bolled.

32 But the wheat and the rie {a wheat like crop}
were not smitten
for they were not grown up.

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh,
and spread abroad his hands unto Jehovah/God
and the thunders and hail ceased,
and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

34 And when Pharaoh saw
that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more,
and hardened his heart,
he and his servants.

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
neither would he let the children of Israel go . . .
as Jehovah/God had spoken by Moses.
