MEDITATION

Exodus 10:21-29

21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.”
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23 They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Then Pharaoh called to Moses and said, “Go, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be kept back. Let your little ones also go with you.”
25 But Moses said, “You must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 Our livestock also shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind. For we must take some of them to serve the LORD our God, and even we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Take heed to yourself and see my face no more! For in the day you see my face you shall die!”
29 So Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will never see your face again.”

沉思

《出埃及记 10：21-29》
21耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及地黑暗，这黑暗似乎摸得着。”
22摩西向天伸杖，埃及遍地就乌黑了三天。
23三天之久，人不能相见，谁也不敢起来离开本处，唯有以色列人家中都有亮光。
24法老就召摩西来，说：“你们去侍奉耶和华，只是你们的羊群牛群要留下，你们的妇人孩子可以和你们同去。”
25摩西说：“你总要把祭物和燔祭牲交给我们，使我们可以祭祀耶和华我们的神。
26我们的牲畜也要带去，连一蹄也不留下，因为我们要从其中取出来，侍奉耶和华我们的神。我们未到那里，还不知道用什么侍奉耶和华。”
27但耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不肯容他们去。
28法老对摩西说：“你离开我去吧！你要小心，不要再见我的面，因为你见我面的那日，你就必死！”

29摩西说：“你说得好，我必不再见你的面了。”
