Exodus 10-12 - Israel Goes Out from Egypt

The Plague of Locusts

Exo 10:1-2 LSB - 

[1] Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Come to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants with firmness, that I may set these signs of Mine among them, 

[2] and that you may recount in the hearing of your son and of your grandson, how I dealt severely with the Egyptians, and how I put My signs among them, that you may know that I am Yahweh."

Exo 10:12-13 LSB - 

[12] Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, all that the hail has left remaining." 

[13] So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh directed an east wind on the land all that day and all that night; [and when] it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

Exo 10:20 LSB - [20] But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart with strength, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.

The Plague of Darkness

Exo 10:22-23 LSB - [22] So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. [23] They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their [places of] habitation.

Exo 10:27 LSB - [27] But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart with strength, and he was not willing to let them go.

Yahweh Says One More Plague

Exo 11:9 LSB - [9] Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My miraculous wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt."

The Passover Lamb

Exo 12:7-8 LSB - [7] 'Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. [8] 'And they shall eat the flesh that night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Exo 12:11 LSB - [11] 'Now you shall eat it in this manner: [with] your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste--it is the Passover of Yahweh.

Exo 12:13 LSB - [13] 'And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you, and there shall be no plague among you to destroy [you] when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

Exo 12:17 LSB - [17] 'You shall also keep the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall keep this day throughout your generations as a perpetual statute.

Exo 12:25-27 LSB - [25] "And it will be, when you enter the land which Yahweh will give you, as He has promised, you shall keep this [new] slavery. [26] "And it will be when your children say to you, 'What is the meaning of this [new] slavery to you?' [27] that you shall say, 'It is a Passover sacrifice to Yahweh who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but delivered our homes.'" And the people bowed low and worshiped.

Death of the Firstborn of Egypt

Exo 12:29 LSB - [29] Now it happened at midnight that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

Israel Goes Out from Egypt

Exo 12:41-42 LSB - [41] And it happened at the end of 430 years, to the very day, that all the hosts of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt. [42] It is a night to be kept for Yahweh for having brought them out from the land of Egypt; this night is for Yahweh, to be kept by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

The Statute of the Passover

Exo 12:48 LSB - [48] "But if a sojourner sojourns with you and celebrates the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.

Prayer for children.

Olney Hymns Hymn 12 William Cowper

7,7,7,7

Gracious Lord, our children see,

By thy mercy we are free;

But shall these, alas! remain

Subjects still of Satan’s reign?

Israel’s young ones, when of old

Pharaoh threatened to withhold;

Then thy messenger said, “No;

Let the children also go.”

When the angel of the Lord

Drawing forth his dreadful sword,

Slew, with an avenging hand,

All the first–born of the land:

Then thy peoples’ doors he passed,

Where the bloody sign was placed;

Hear us, now, upon our knees,

Plead the blood of CHRIST for these!

LORD we tremble, for we know

How the fierce malicious foe;

Wheeling round his watchful flight,

Keeps them ever in his sight:

Spread thy pinions, King of kings!

Hide them safe beneath thy wings;

Lest the rav’nous bird of prey

Stoop, and bear the brood away.
