Exodus 9
1. The plague on livestock
8. The plague of boils
13. The message of Moses about the hail,
22. The plague of hail
27. Pharaoh pleads with Moses, but yet is hardened














But as for you and your officials
This phrase addresses Pharaoh and his court, highlighting the collective responsibility and shared guilt of the Egyptian leadership. In the context of the plagues, it underscores the stubbornness and hard-heartedness of not just Pharaoh but also his advisors. Historically, Egyptian officials were deeply entrenched in the polytheistic culture, which made the acknowledgment of the God of Israel particularly challenging. This collective mention emphasizes the widespread resistance to God's commands.

I know that you still do not fear
The phrase "I know" indicates God's omniscience and Moses' understanding of Pharaoh's heart, which remains hardened despite the miraculous signs. The concept of "fear" in biblical terms often refers to reverence and awe, which Pharaoh and his officials lack. This lack of fear is a recurring theme in the narrative of the plagues, illustrating the spiritual blindness and pride of the Egyptian leadership. Theologically, it contrasts with the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

the LORD our God.
This phrase identifies the God of Israel as distinct from the gods of Egypt, emphasizing His sovereignty and power. The use of "our God" signifies a personal relationship between the Israelites and Yahweh, contrasting with the impersonal nature of Egyptian deities. Theologically, this distinction is crucial as it sets the stage for the eventual deliverance of Israel and the establishment of a covenant relationship. The plagues serve as a demonstration of God's supremacy over all false gods, a theme that resonates throughout the Old Testament and is fulfilled in the New Testament through Christ's victory over sin and death.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Moses
The prophet and leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt. In this context, Moses is delivering God's message to Pharaoh.

2. Pharaoh
The ruler of Egypt, whose heart is hardened against letting the Israelites go. He represents resistance to God's will.

3. Egypt
The land where the Israelites are enslaved. It is the setting for the plagues that God sends as signs of His power and judgment.

Teaching Points
The Importance of the Fear of the Lord
True fear of the Lord involves reverence, awe, and submission to His will. Pharaoh's lack of fear demonstrates a heart resistant to God's authority.

The Consequences of a Hardened Heart
Pharaoh's hardened heart serves as a warning of the dangers of resisting God's will. It leads to judgment and missed opportunities for repentance.

God's Sovereignty and Patience
Despite Pharaoh's resistance, God remains sovereign and patient, using the situation to reveal His power and glory. This encourages believers to trust in God's timing and purposes.

The Role of Obedience in Faith
Moses' obedience in delivering God's message contrasts with Pharaoh's disobedience. Believers are called to obey God's commands, trusting in His wisdom and authority.

The Call to Repentance
Pharaoh's account is a call to examine our own hearts for areas of resistance to God. Repentance and submission to God lead to spiritual freedom and growth.Verse 30. - I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord. True fear of God is shown by obedience to his commands. Pharaoh and his servants had the sort of fear which devils have - " they believed and trembled." But they had not yet that real reverential fear which is joined with love, and has, as its fruit, obedience. So the event showed. (See verses 34, 35.)
