Text: Exodus 12: 29-33

MEDITATION

Exodus 12:29-33

29 And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD 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 livestock.
30 So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the LORD as you have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”
33 And the Egyptians urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”

沉思

《出埃及记 12：29-33》
29到了半夜，耶和华把埃及地所有的长子，就是从坐宝座的法老，直到被掳囚在监里之人的长子，以及一切头生的牲畜，尽都杀了。
30法老和一切臣仆，并埃及众人，夜间都起来了。在埃及有大哀号，无一家不死一个人的。
31夜间，法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“起来！连你们带以色列人从我民中出去，依你们所说的去侍奉耶和华吧！
32也依你们所说的，连羊群牛群带着走吧！并要为我祝福。”

33埃及人催促百姓，打发他们快快出离那地，因为埃及人说：“我们都要死了。”
