Exodus 9 - 10

ExodusSteve Gregg
Exodus chapters 9-10 describe the nine plagues that Yahweh inflicts on Egypt in response to Pharaoh's stubborn refusal to let the Israelites go. Despite the devastating consequences on the Egyptian people, Pharaoh continues to harden his heart against God. The plagues serve as symbolic acts that demonstrate Yahweh's power over Egyptian gods and rulers and emphasize the importance of following God's commandments. Ultimately, the Israelites are freed after the final and most significant plague, the death of the firstborn. The events in these chapters also remind Christians to resist compromising with the world and surrender everything to God.
