Nehemiah 9:9-11
“ You saw how our people of long ago suffered in Egypt. You heard them cry out to you at the Red Sea.You sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh. You sent plagues on all his officials. In fact, you sent them on all the people of Egypt. You knew how they treated our people. They looked down on them. But you made a name for yourself. That name remains to this very day.You parted the waters of the Red Sea for the Israelites. They passed through it on dry ground. But you threw into the sea those who chased them. They sank down like a stone into the mighty waters.

Genesis 46:1-34
So Israel started out with everything that belonged to him. When he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.God spoke to Israel in a vision at night.“ Jacob! Jacob!” he said.“ Here I am,” Jacob replied.“ I am God. I am the God of your father,” he said.“ Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt. There I will make you into a great nation.I will go down to Egypt with you. I will surely bring you back again. And when you die, Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”Then Jacob left Beersheba. Israel’s sons put their father Jacob and their families in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.So Jacob and his whole family went to Egypt. They took their livestock with them. And they took everything they had acquired in Canaan.Jacob brought his sons and grandsons with him to Egypt. He also brought his daughters and granddaughters. He brought his whole family with him.Here are the names of Israel’s children and grandchildren who went to Egypt. Jacob and his whole family are included. Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son.The sons of Reuben were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul. Shaul was the son of a woman from Canaan.The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath and Merari.The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah. But Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.The sons of Issachar were Tola, Puah, Jashub and Shimron.The sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon and Jahleel.These were the sons and grandsons born to Jacob and Leah in Paddan Aram. Leah also had a daughter by Jacob. Her name was Dinah. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Leah was 33.The sons of Gad were Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.The sons of Asher were Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah. Their sister was Serah. The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malkiel.These were the children and grandchildren born to Jacob and Zilpah. Laban had given Zilpah to his daughter Leah. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Zilpah was 16.The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.In Egypt, Asenath had Manasseh and Ephraim by Joseph. Asenath was the daughter of Potiphera. Potiphera was the priest of On.The sons of Benjamin were Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.These were the sons and grandsons born to Jacob and Rachel. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Rachel was 14.The son of Dan was Hushim.The sons of Naphtali were Jahziel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem.These were the sons and grandsons born to Jacob and Bilhah. Laban had given Bilhah to his daughter Rachel. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Bilhah was seven.The total number of people who went to Egypt with Jacob was 66. That number includes only his own children and grandchildren. It doesn’t include his sons’ wives or his grandsons’ wives.The total number of the members of Jacob’s family who went to Egypt was 70. That includes the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt.Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph. He sent him to get directions to Goshen. And so they arrived in the area of Goshen.Then Joseph had his servants get his chariot ready. He went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as he came to his father, Joseph threw his arms around him. Then Joseph wept for a long time.Israel said to Joseph,“ I have seen for myself that you are still alive. Now I’m ready to die.”Then Joseph spoke to his brothers and to the rest of his father’s family. He said,“ I will go up and speak to Pharaoh. I’ll say to him,‘ My brothers and the rest of my father’s family have come to me. They were living in the land of Canaan.The men are shepherds. They take care of livestock. They’ve brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’Pharaoh will send for you. He’ll ask,‘ What do you do for a living?’You should answer,‘ We’ve taken care of livestock from the time we were boys. We’ve done just as our fathers did.’ It’s the practice of the people of Egypt not to mix with shepherds. So Pharaoh will let you settle in the area of Goshen.”

Exodus 7:1-14
Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I have made you like God to Pharaoh. And your brother Aaron will be like a prophet to you.You must say everything I command you to say. Then your brother Aaron must tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave his country.But I will make Pharaoh stubborn. I will multiply the signs and amazing things I will do in Egypt.In spite of that, he will not listen to you. So I will use my powerful hand against Egypt. When I judge them with mighty acts, I will bring my people Israel out like an army on the march.Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. I will reach out my powerful hand against them. I will bring the people of Israel out of Egypt.”Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had commanded them.Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 when they spoke to Pharaoh.The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron.He said,“ Pharaoh will say to you,‘ Do a miracle.’ When he does, speak to Aaron. Tell him,‘ Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh.’ It will turn into a snake.”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh. They did exactly as the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw the stick down in front of Pharaoh and his officials. It turned into a snake.Then Pharaoh sent for wise men and people who do evil magic. By doing their magic tricks, the Egyptian magicians did the same things Aaron had done.Each one threw down his walking stick. Each stick turned into a snake. But Aaron’s walking stick swallowed theirs up.In spite of that, Pharaoh became stubborn. He wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had said.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pharaoh is very stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.

Go. Take your flocks and herds, just as you have said. And also give me your blessing.”The Egyptians begged the people of Israel to hurry up and leave the country.“ If you don’t,” they said,“ we’ll all die!”So the people took their dough before the yeast was added to it. They carried it on their shoulders in bowls for kneading bread. The bowls were wrapped in clothes.They did just as Moses had directed them. They asked the Egyptians for things made out of silver and gold. They also asked them for clothes.The Lord had caused the Egyptians to treat the Israelites in a kind way. So the Egyptians gave them what they asked for. The Israelites took many expensive things that belonged to the Egyptians.The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 men old enough to go into battle. The women and children went with them.So did many other people. The Israelites also took large flocks and herds with them.

To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau. But Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.“‘ Then I sent Moses and Aaron. I made the people of Egypt suffer because of the plagues I sent on them. But I brought you out of Egypt.When I brought your people out, they came to the Red Sea. The people of Egypt chased them with chariots and with men on horses. They chased them all the way to the sea.But your people cried out to me for help. So I put darkness between you and the people of Egypt. I swept them into the sea. It completely covered them. Your own eyes saw what I did to them. After that, you lived in the desert for a long time.

Deuteronomy 11:2-4
Remember today that your children weren’t the ones the Lord your God guided and corrected. They didn’t see his majesty. They weren’t in Egypt when he reached out his mighty hand and powerful arm.They didn’t see the signs and the other things he did in Egypt. They didn’t see what he did to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his whole country.They weren’t there when the Lord destroyed the army of Egypt and its horses and chariots. He swept the waters of the Red Sea over the Egyptians while they were chasing you. He wiped them out forever.

Psalms 105:27-37
The Lord gave them the power to do signs among the Egyptians. They did his wonders in the land of Ham.The Lord sent darkness over the land. He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.He turned their rivers and streams into blood. He caused the fish in them to die.Their land was covered with frogs. Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.The Lord spoke, and large numbers of flies came. Gnats filled the whole country.He turned their rain into hail. Lightning flashed all through their land.He destroyed their vines and fig trees. He broke down the trees in Egypt.He spoke, and the locusts came. There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.They ate up every green thing in the land. They ate up what the land produced.Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest of all their sons.He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold. From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.

Psalms 78:43-51
They forgot how he had shown them his signs in Egypt. They forgot his miracles in the area of Zoan.He turned the river of Egypt into blood. The people of Egypt couldn’t drink water from their streams.He sent large numbers of flies that bit them. He sent frogs that destroyed their land.He gave their crops to the grasshoppers. He gave their food to the locusts.He destroyed their vines with hail. He destroyed their fig trees with sleet.He killed their cattle with hail. Their livestock were struck by lightning.Because he was so angry with Egypt, he caused them to have great trouble. In his great anger he sent destroying angels against them.God prepared a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their lives. He gave them over to the plague.He killed the oldest son of each family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest son in every house in the land of Ham.
