Day 27, 28 and 29 - Read through the Bible ~ Whew!
Moses commissioned at burning bush ~ objects to speaking, complies, returns to Egypt ~ Aaron reports to the people all that Moses has been told ~ Moses contends with Pharaoh, the Egyptian magicians replicate some of the 'miracles' ~ Pharaoh increases burdens on people (that should make them happy to leave) ~ Moses told by I AM THAT I AM that Pharaoh's heart is hardened and will be more hardened.
Ten Plagues ~ Rivers/water sources turned to blood, impacts ALL (can you image? Seven days w/no adequate water - our westernized, industrial mind has NO concept of being w/out adequate water) ~ Frogs, impacts ALL ~ Lice, impact ALL ~ Murrain (pestilence or plague), does NOT impact Hebrews ~ Boils, does NOT impact Hebrews ~ Hail, does NOT impact Hebrews ~ Locusts (all the land of Egypt, Goshen as well?) ~ establishment of a year's beginnings (Mar/Apr) ~ Darkness, does NOT impact the Hebrews ~ Pharaoh's heart hardened more, no more negotiations ~ Passover instructions ~ importance of blood atonement ~ First born dies of man and animal ~ Egyptians demand departure.
I find it interesting that out of the 10 plagues, only 3 (possible 4) may have impacted the Hebrews directly. There is also a similar delineation in the 10 Words (commandments) where the first 4 commands are vertical, between God and man; and the last 6 are horizontal, between men.
Also, Father's calendar was established - HE did not differentiate between civil or ecclesiastical, simply, this is the beginning of months for you. Start here. Why, o' why, do we try to change and or enhance what HE has perfectly laid out?
My musing for the past few days...I am enjoying sharing, would really enjoy hearing how Father's word is impacting you as you read through the Bible.
