furnace in front of Pharaoh and it would spread like
fine dust and cause open sores on the people and
animals. Even the magicians couldn’t confront Moses
because they were covered with sores.

 But Pharaoh refused to listen to
Moses and Aaron again and again,
so God sent a strong hailstorm with
lighting and thunder, more severe
than they had every known to happen
in Egypt, and many people and animals
died.
So Moses again went to see Pharaoh
and said to him, “How long will you
refuse to submit to God?
“God will send locusts to your
country tomorrow and they will eat
anything that the hail didn’t destroy,
even the trees.”

Page 9
 So the locusts descended, covering everything,
eating all the plants. And there were no green
plants left in the land of Egypt, except in the land
where the Hebrews lived.

 And still Pharaoh refused to obey God, so Moses
raised his hand toward the sky and there was total
darkness throughout Egypt for three days. It was
so dark that people couldn’t see anything, but it
was not like that where the Hebrew people lived.

 God said to Moses: “I will send one
more punishment then Pharaoh will
let you leave. At midnight I will go
through Egypt and every first born
son in Egypt will die, including the
king’s son.”

Then God told Moses to tell the

Hebrew people that at evening they
were to kill a sheep or a goat and
eat it quickly with their travelling
clothes on. It was to be called
the Lord’s Passover, a day to be
remembered by a feast for all
generations.

They were to take some of the

blood from the animals and put it on
the doorpost and above the doors of
their houses, marking the houses in
which they lived.

 And it happened as the Lord had said. That night all
the first born sons of the Egyptians died, even the first
born son of Pharaoh. The same night Pharaoh called for
Moses and Aaron and told them, “Go, you and your people.
Leave my country!”

 And on that day, the
Lord brought the Hebrew
people out of Egypt.
