MEDITATION

Exodus 9:1-7

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,
3 behold, the hand of the LORD will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence.
4 And the LORD will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Then the LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.”
6 So the LORD did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
7 Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go.

沉思

《出埃及记 9：1-7》
1耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华希伯来人的神这样说：容我的百姓去，好侍奉我。
2你若不肯容他们去，仍旧强留他们，
3耶和华的手加在你田间的牲畜上，就是在马、驴、骆驼、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
4耶和华要分别以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡属以色列人的，一样都不死。’”
5耶和华就定了时候，说：“明天耶和华必在此地行这事。”
6第二天，耶和华就行这事。埃及的牲畜几乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜一个都没有死。
