My Song In The Night (Exodus)
我夜间的歌曲《出埃及记》
Text: Exodus 9: 31-35
MEDITATION
Exodus 9:31-35
31 Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.
33 So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the LORD; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 So the heart of Pharaoh was hard; neither would he let the children of Israel go, as the LORD had spoken by Moses.

沉思
《出埃及记 9: 31-35》
31 那时,麻和大麦被雹击打,因为大麦已经吐穗,麻也开了花。
32 只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打,因为还没有长成。
33 摩西离了法老出城,向耶和华举手祷告,雷和雹就止住,雨也不再浇在地上了。
34 法老见雨和雹与雷止住,就越发犯罪,他和他的臣仆都硬着心。35 法老的心刚硬,不容以色列人去,正如耶和华借着摩西所说的。
