In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped
The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible
Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18)
In this study I continue in chapter 9 verse 27 and finish up this chapter
Verses 13-35 Seventh Plague Hail
Once again, I emphasize that these plagues were against the Egyptians deities!!!
27 The Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked = The original is very emphatic: Yahweh is The Righteous One, (הצדיק hatstaddik [tsad-deek']), and I and my people are The Sinners, (הרשעים hareshaim [ha- raw-shaw']); i.e., He is alone righteous, and we alone are transgressors. Who could have imagined that after such an acknowledgment and confession, Pharaoh should have again hardened his heart?
28 It is enough = There is no need of any farther plague; I submit to the authority of Elohim and will rebel no more
Mighty thunderings = כלת אלהים koloth Elohim, voices of Elohim; - that is, exceptionally loud thunder
29 I will spread abroad = ‘pâraś’ ‘paw-ras'’ ‘Aleph-Tav’
Pey = (mouth) blow, scatter, edge
resh = (head of a Man) front, head, chief, first, top, beginning
Shin = (two front teeth) sharp, press, eat, two
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
To spread apart in the sense of splitting! Keep in mind by adding the ‘Aleph-Tav’ this is NOT Moses that is causing this split, but Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah. Another slap into the face of the Egyptians gods
Chapter 10
Verses 1-20 The Eighth Plague Locusts
Serapia – Egyptian deity protector from Locusts
1 harden his heart = kâbad kâbêd’ ‘kaw-bad, kaw-bade'’ ‘kaph-bet-dalet’ ‘aleph-Tav’
Kaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame
Bet = (tent floor plan) family, house, in
dalet – (tent door) move, hang, entrance
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
Someone or something that is heavy in weight, wealth, abundance, importance or respect. The key point here is that Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah may have sent a spirit to make the Pharaoh’s heart heavy
The phrase most often translated ‘hardening of the heart’ occurs 19 times (Denotes the Perfection of Divine Order connected with Judgment.); 10 times it is said that Pharaoh hardened his heart; and 9 times the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart is ascribed to Yahweh. So we see that there are 2 sides to this hardening
2 I have wrought = the Hebrew verb is uncommon. It implies an action, which brings shame and disgrace upon its object, making them, so to speak, playthings of Elohims Divine power
4 to let = ‘eth’ ‘Aleph-Tav’ Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah’s Elect
