Exodus
Chapter
9
Fifth plague - Livestock stricken
Exodus
9:1 ¶Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and
tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that
they may serve me.
2
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
3
[*]
Behold,
the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:
there shall be a very grievous murrain.
[*] This plague was aimed at all kinds of animal worship.
Exodus
9:4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's
of Israel.
5
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do
this thing in the land.
6
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites
dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people
go.
Sixth plague -Boils afflict man
and beast
Exodus
9:8 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
handfuls of ashes of the furnace,
and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a
boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all
the land of Egypt.
10[*]
And
they took
ashes of the furnace,
and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and
it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
[*] "ashes of the furnace" , i.e. one of the alters on which human sacrifices were sometimes offered to propitiate their god Typhon (i.e. the Evil Pinciple) These were doubtless being offered to avert the plagues, and Moses, used the ashes in the same way, producing another plague instead of averting it.
Exodus
9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the
boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them;
as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Seventh plague - Judgment of hail
and fire
Exodus
9:13 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of
the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon
thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is
none like me in all the earth.
15
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee
my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let
them go?
18
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to [*]
rain a very grievous
hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even
until now.
[*] To rain hail is literally true, for hail is made by drops of rain falling through a cold region of the atmosphere where it is frozen together into stones of ice before reaching the ground. Ps.78:47 says that God "destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost." see v.25 Psalms 78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
19
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the
field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field,
and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and
they shall die.
20
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made
his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his
cattle in the field.
22
¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast,
and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder
and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail
upon the land of Egypt.
24
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such
as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the
field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field,
and brake every tree of the field.
26
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there
no hail.
Pharaoh consents; then retracts
Exodus
9:27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto
them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people
are wicked.
28
Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings
and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall
there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the
LORD'S.
30
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the
LORD God.
31
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was bolled.
32
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured
upon the earth.
34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children
of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
History shows that the northern 10 tribes migrated north over the Caucasus Mountains (hence called Caucasians) and became known as the Cimmerians, the Celts, the Saxons ('Saac's sons), etc., and settled in western Europe, the British isles, and later many migrated to the Americas.

By the way! Do you want some wisdom???? Rev. 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
How do I count the number of the beast?"

Editor's question: When we are
ask to count the number of the beast, aren't we are really being ask to
count the number of Satan's descendants living among us?
