Exo. 8:16 - Exo. 8:32

February 24, 2021

Exodus
8:16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
8:17 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
8:18 And the magicians did the same with their secret spells, to try to bring forth lice, but they could not; so there were lice on man and on beast.
8:19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as Jehovah had said.
8:20 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and present yourself before Pharaoh as he is going out to the water, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Let My people go that they may serve Me.
8:21 For if you will not let My people go, then I will at once send swarms of flies against you and against your servants and against your people and against your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, as well as the ground on which they are.
8:22 But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are staying, so that no swarms of flies will be there, so that you may know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the land.
8:23 And I will put a redemption between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall occur.
8:24 And Jehovah did so; and heavy swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants’ houses, and throughout the land of Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
8:25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
8:26 And Moses said, It would not be right to do so, for we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God what is an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?
8:27 We must go a three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to Jehovah our God just as He commands us.
8:28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make entreaty for me.
8:29 And Moses said, I am now going out from you, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of flies would depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully anymore by not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
8:30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated Jehovah.
8:31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses, and He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.
8:32 However Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and he did not let the people go.

Exodus 1:1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each man came with his household: 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 1:5 And all the persons who came forth from the loins of Jacob were seventy persons, but Joseph was already in Egypt. 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. 1:7 But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, and the land was filled with them. 1:8 And a new king rose up over Egypt, who did not know of Joseph. 1:9 And he said to his people, The people of the children of Israel are now more numerous and stronger than we. 1:10 Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply and, when some war occurs, they also join themselves to those who hate us and fight against us and go up from the land. 1:11 So they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built storage cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses. 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out so that they came to dread the children of Israel. 1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with harshness, 1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and in brick and in all kinds of labor in the field; all their labor with which they made them serve was with harshness. 1:15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one whose name was Shiphrah and the other whose name was Puah; 1:16 And he said, aWhen you act as midwives for the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live. 1:17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them but let the male children live. 1:18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing and let the male children live? 1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous: before the midwife comes to them, they give birth. 1:20 And God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very strong. 1:21 And because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. 1:22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born you shall cast into the River, but every daughter you shall let live.

Exodus 2:1 And a man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as wife. 2:2 And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 2:3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a papyrus basket and plastered it with tar and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the River. 2:4 And his sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him. 2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the River while her maidens walked alongside the River. And she saw the basket in the midst of the reeds and sent her female servant, and she brought it to her. 2:6 And she opened it and saw the child, and there was the boy, crying. And she had compassion on him and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. 2:7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call a nurse from the Hebrew women for you that she may nurse the child for you? 2:8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and called the child’s mother. 2:9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages. So the woman took the child and nursed him. 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses and said, Because I drew him out of the water. 2:11 And in those days, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 2:12 And he looked this way and that, and when he saw that there was no one there, he struck the Egyptian down and hid him in the sand. 2:13 And he went out the next day, and there were two Hebrew men struggling together; and he said to the one who was in the wrong, Why are you beating your companion? 2:14 And he said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us? Are you thinking to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses became 1frightened and said, Surely the matter is known. 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh to dwell in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. 2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Exodus 2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses rose up and helped them and watered their flock. 2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, Why have you come back so quickly today? 2:19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and he even drew water for us as well and watered the flock. 2:20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why did you leave the man? Invite him to eat a meal. 2:21 And Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 2:22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land. 2:23 And in the course of those many days the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage. And they cried out, and their cry went up to God because of their bondage. 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took notice of them. Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. 3:2 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thornbush. And when he looked, there was the thornbush, burning with fire; but the thornbush was not consumed. 3:3 And Moses said, I must turn aside now and see this great sight, why the thornbush does not burn up. 3:4 And when Jehovah saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the midst of the thornbush and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am. 3:5 And He said, Do not come near here. Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. 3:6 And He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 3:7 And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
