On the Road Again (Day 20/365)

Day 20: Exodus 10-12

Main People:

Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, Israelites, First Born Sons

Key Points:

            *We have new plagues to talk about. And I didn’t put three from yesterday’s reading, so I’ll go back and add those.

• Livestock—All of the Egyptian livestock die—none of the Israelites
• Boils—(ouch!) Horrible boils break out everyone in Egypt
• Hail—Hailstorm kills all the slaves and animals left outside. Destroyed almost every plant
• Locusts—Covered Egypt and ate everything left after the hail
• Darkness—Total darkness covered Egypt so thick you could feel it
• Death of first born—The one that made Pharaoh so scared and angry, he let them leave.

*430 years after Jacob and his family moved to Egypt, they left.

*600,000 Israelite men left, along with women, children and a rabble of non-Israelites. It’s estimated that 2 million people left!

Verses that Jumped Out at Me:

Exodus 11:8—Moses had a temper. Actually, he’s pretty famous for his temper, but God used him. No matter your ‘faults’ God has a purpose for you J

Question:

Would you have wanted to leave Egypt if you were an Israelite? Would you have been one of the ‘rabble’ of non-Israelites who went with them?
