“ O Lord our God, you brought lasting honor to your name by rescuing your people from Egypt in a great display of power. But we have sinned and are full of wickedness.

You performed miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt— things still remembered to this day! And you have continued to do great miracles in Israel and all around the world. You have made your name famous to this day.

Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nation by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes.

“ Is that so?” retorted Pharaoh.“ And who is the Lord? Why should I listen to him and let Israel go? I don’t know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.”

I know now that the Lord is greater than all other gods, because he rescued his people from the oppression of the proud Egyptians.”

Where is the one whose power was displayed when Moses lifted up his hand— the one who divided the sea before them, making himself famous forever?

As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people, Lord, and gained a magnificent reputation.”

Then the Lord gave these instructions to Moses:“ Order the Israelites to turn back and camp by Pi hahiroth between Migdol and the sea. Camp there along the shore, across from Baal zephon.Then Pharaoh will think,‘ The Israelites are confused. They are trapped in the wilderness!’And once again I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after you. I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!” So the Israelites camped there as they were told.When word reached the king of Egypt that the Israelites had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds.“ What have we done, letting all those Israelite slaves get away?” they asked.So Pharaoh harnessed his chariot and called up his troops.He took with him 600 of Egypt’s best chariots, along with the rest of the chariots of Egypt, each with its commander.The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, so he chased after the people of Israel, who had left with fists raised in defiance.The Egyptians chased after them with all the forces in Pharaoh’s army— all his horses and chariots, his charioteers, and his troops. The Egyptians caught up with the people of Israel as they were camped beside the shore near Pi hahiroth, across from Baal zephon.As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord,and they said to Moses,“ Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt?Didn’t we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said,‘ Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’”But Moses told the people,“ Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will charge in after the Israelites. My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers.When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!”Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel, moved to the rear of the camp. The pillar of cloud also moved from the front and stood behind them.The cloud settled between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. As darkness fell, the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. But the Egyptians and Israelites did not approach each other all night.Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land.So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!Then the Egyptians— all of Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers— chased them into the middle of the sea.But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion.He twisted their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive.“ Let’s get out of here— away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted.“ The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the Lord said to Moses,“ Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers.”So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea.Then the waters returned and covered all the chariots and charioteers— the entire army of Pharaoh. Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived.But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, as the water stood up like a wall on both sides.That is how the Lord rescued Israel from the hand of the Egyptians that day. And the Israelites saw the bodies of the Egyptians washed up on the seashore.When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

And by means of many wonders and miraculous signs, he led them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and through the wilderness for forty years.

Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.

Give vent to your anger. Let it overflow against the proud.Humiliate the proud with a glance; walk on the wicked where they stand.

They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan.For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams.He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them.He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts.He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore figs with sleet.He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels.He turned his anger against them; he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives but ravaged them with the plague.He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.But he led his own people like a flock of sheep, guiding them safely through the wilderness.He kept them safe so they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies.

“ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”

He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals.He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people.

For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh,“ I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.”

They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields.Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.

They didn’t see the miraculous signs and wonders he performed in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his land.They didn’t see what the Lord did to the armies of Egypt and to their horses and chariots— how he drowned them in the Red Sea as they were chasing you. He destroyed them, and they have not recovered to this very day!

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for“ God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

“ Do not supply any more straw for making bricks. Make the people get it themselves!But still require them to make the same number of bricks as before. Don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy. That’s why they are crying out,‘ Let us go and offer sacrifices to our God.’

Our ancestors in Egypt were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds. They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them. Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.Even so, he saved them— to defend the honor of his name and to demonstrate his mighty power.He commanded the Red Sea to dry up. He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.So he rescued them from their enemies and redeemed them from their foes.Then the water returned and covered their enemies; not one of them survived.

For you have proudly defied the Lord of heaven and have had these cups from his Temple brought before you. You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone— gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny!

But I didn’t do it, for I acted to protect the honor of my name. I would not allow shame to be brought on my name among the surrounding nations who saw me reveal myself by bringing the Israelites out of Egypt.

For we have heard how the Lord made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.

the miracles he did for their ancestors on the plain of Zoan in the land of Egypt.For he divided the sea and led them through, making the water stand up like walls!

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother, Aaron, will be your prophet.Tell Aaron everything I command you, and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave his country.But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces— my people, the Israelites— from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them.Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty three when they made their demands to Pharaoh.Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Pharaoh will demand,‘ Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron,‘ Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent!Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic.They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, and he still refuses to let the people go.So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes down to the river. Stand on the bank of the Nile and meet him there. Be sure to take along the staff that turned into a snake.Then announce to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you,“ Let my people go, so they can worship me in the wilderness.” Until now, you have refused to listen to him.So this is what the Lord says:“ I will show you that I am the Lord.” Look! I will strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, and the river will turn to blood.The fish in it will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile.’”Then the Lord said to Moses:“ Tell Aaron,‘ Take your staff and raise your hand over the waters of Egypt— all its rivers, canals, ponds, and all the reservoirs. Turn all the water to blood. Everywhere in Egypt the water will turn to blood, even the water stored in wooden bowls and stone pots.’”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. As Pharaoh and all of his officials watched, Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the Nile. Suddenly, the whole river turned to blood!The fish in the river died, and the water became so foul that the Egyptians couldn’t drink it. There was blood everywhere throughout the land of Egypt.But again the magicians of Egypt used their magic, and they, too, turned water into blood. So Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.Pharaoh returned to his palace and put the whole thing out of his mind.Then all the Egyptians dug along the riverbank to find drinking water, for they couldn’t drink the water from the Nile.Seven days passed from the time the Lord struck the Nile.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Go back to Pharaoh and announce to him,‘ This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs across your entire land.The Nile River will swarm with frogs. They will come up out of the river and into your palace, even into your bedroom and onto your bed! They will enter the houses of your officials and your people. They will even jump into your ovens and your kneading bowls.Frogs will jump on you, your people, and all your officials.’”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Tell Aaron,‘ Raise the staff in your hand over all the rivers, canals, and ponds of Egypt, and bring up frogs over all the land.’”So Aaron raised his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the whole land!But the magicians were able to do the same thing with their magic. They, too, caused frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged,“ Plead with the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go, so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.”“ You set the time!” Moses replied.“ Tell me when you want me to pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. They will remain only in the Nile River.”“ Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh said.“ All right,” Moses replied,“ it will be as you have said. Then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials, and your people. They will remain only in the Nile River.”So Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh’s palace, and Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs he had inflicted on Pharaoh.And the Lord did just what Moses had predicted. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields all died.The Egyptians piled them into great heaps, and a terrible stench filled the land.But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.So the Lord said to Moses,“ Tell Aaron,‘ Raise your staff and strike the ground. The dust will turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. When Aaron raised his hand and struck the ground with his staff, gnats infested the entire land, covering the Egyptians and their animals. All the dust in the land of Egypt turned into gnats.Pharaoh’s magicians tried to do the same thing with their secret arts, but this time they failed. And the gnats covered everyone, people and animals alike.“ This is the finger of God!” the magicians exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had predicted.Then the Lord told Moses,“ Get up early in the morning and stand in Pharaoh’s way as he goes down to the river. Say to him,‘ This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you refuse, then I will send swarms of flies on you, your officials, your people, and all the houses. The Egyptian homes will be filled with flies, and the ground will be covered with them.But this time I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live. No flies will be found there. Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.I will make a clear distinction between my people and your people. This miraculous sign will happen tomorrow.’”And the Lord did just as he had said. A thick swarm of flies filled Pharaoh’s palace and the houses of his officials. The whole land of Egypt was thrown into chaos by the flies.Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron.“ All right! Go ahead and offer sacrifices to your God,” he said.“ But do it here in this land.”But Moses replied,“ That wouldn’t be right. The Egyptians detest the sacrifices that we offer to the Lord our God. Look, if we offer our sacrifices here where the Egyptians can see us, they will stone us.We must take a three day trip into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.”“ All right, go ahead,” Pharaoh replied.“ I will let you go into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God. But don’t go too far away. Now hurry and pray for me.”Moses answered,“ As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord, and tomorrow the swarms of flies will disappear from you and your officials and all your people. But I am warning you, Pharaoh, don’t lie to us again and refuse to let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”So Moses left Pharaoh’s palace and pleaded with the Lord to remove all the flies.And the Lord did as Moses asked and caused the swarms of flies to disappear from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people. Not a single fly remained.But Pharaoh again became stubborn and refused to let the people go.“ Go back to Pharaoh,” the Lord commanded Moses.“ Tell him,‘ This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you continue to hold them and refuse to let them go,the hand of the Lord will strike all your livestock— your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, sheep, and goats— with a deadly plague.But the Lord will again make a distinction between the livestock of the Israelites and that of the Egyptians. Not a single one of Israel’s animals will die!The Lord has already set the time for the plague to begin. He has declared that he will strike the land tomorrow.’”And the Lord did just as he had said. The next morning all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but the Israelites didn’t lose a single animal.Pharaoh sent his officials to investigate, and they discovered that the Israelites had not lost a single animal! But even so, Pharaoh’s heart remained stubborn, and he still refused to let the people go.Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Take handfuls of soot from a brick kiln, and have Moses toss it into the air while Pharaoh watches.The ashes will spread like fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, causing festering boils to break out on people and animals throughout the land.”So they took soot from a brick kiln and went and stood before Pharaoh. As Pharaoh watched, Moses threw the soot into the air, and boils broke out on people and animals alike.Even the magicians were unable to stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and all the Egyptians.But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and just as the Lord had predicted to Moses, Pharaoh refused to listen.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Get up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. Tell him,‘ This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you don’t, I will send more plagues on you and your officials and your people. Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.By now I could have lifted my hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the face of the earth.But I have spared you for a purpose— to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth.But you still lord it over my people and refuse to let them go.So tomorrow at this time I will send a hailstorm more devastating than any in all the history of Egypt.Quick! Order your livestock and servants to come in from the fields to find shelter. Any person or animal left outside will die when the hail falls.’”Some of Pharaoh’s officials were afraid because of what the Lord had said. They quickly brought their servants and livestock in from the fields.But those who paid no attention to the word of the Lord left theirs out in the open.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Lift your hand toward the sky so hail may fall on the people, the livestock, and all the plants throughout the land of Egypt.”So Moses lifted his staff toward the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed toward the earth. The Lord sent a tremendous hailstorm against all the land of Egypt.Never in all the history of Egypt had there been a storm like that, with such devastating hail and continuous lightning.It left all of Egypt in ruins. The hail struck down everything in the open field— people, animals, and plants alike. Even the trees were destroyed.The only place without hail was the region of Goshen, where the people of Israel lived.Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron.“ This time I have sinned,” he confessed.“ The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong.Please beg the Lord to end this terrifying thunder and hail. We’ve had enough. I will let you go; you don’t need to stay any longer.”“ All right,” Moses replied.“ As soon as I leave the city, I will lift my hands and pray to the Lord. Then the thunder and hail will stop, and you will know that the earth belongs to the Lord.But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God.”( All the flax and barley were ruined by the hail, because the barley had formed heads and the flax was budding.But the wheat and the emmer wheat were spared, because they had not yet sprouted from the ground.)So Moses left Pharaoh’s court and went out of the city. When he lifted his hands to the Lord, the thunder and hail stopped, and the downpour ceased.But when Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had stopped, he and his officials sinned again, and Pharaoh again became stubborn.Because his heart was hard, Pharaoh refused to let the people leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubborn so I can display my miraculous signs among them.I’ve also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and about the signs I displayed among them— and so you will know that I am the Lord.”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said,“ This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you refuse, watch out! For tomorrow I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country.They will cover the land so that you won’t be able to see the ground. They will devour what little is left of your crops after the hailstorm, including all the trees growing in the fields.They will overrun your palaces and the homes of your officials and all the houses in Egypt. Never in the history of Egypt have your ancestors seen a plague like this one!” And with that, Moses turned and left Pharaoh.Pharaoh’s officials now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him.“ How long will you let this man hold us hostage? Let the men go to worship the Lord their God! Don’t you realize that Egypt lies in ruins?”So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh.“ All right,” he told them,“ go and worship the Lord your God. But who exactly will be going with you?”

Give thanks to him who killed the firstborn of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever.He brought Israel out of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever.He acted with a strong hand and powerful arm. His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to him who parted the Red Sea. His faithful love endures forever.He led Israel safely through, His faithful love endures forever.but he hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea. His faithful love endures forever.
