The Plagues Were Against The gods Of Egypt Part 9

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.

The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible.

 Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18,).

In this study we will picked it up in Chapter 5 verse 20

In Chapters 5 and 6 we will learn of the Unsuccessful Appeal to Pharaoh and the Increase of the Oppression

In this study I begin with the Book of Jasher Chapter 79:20

20   they = officers 

And they met = “pâga‛” “paw-gah'” “pey-gamel-ayin” “aleph-tav”

Pey = (mouth) blow, scatter, edge

                gamel = (foot) gather, walk

                Ayin = (eye) watch, know, shade (this letter is basically silent)

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

                Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

                To come together in meeting by chance. Also to give or place as a meeting. This was all divine, this was Elohims plan for that rescue of His Elect.

21   abhorred = stink in the eyes. The officer’s firm belief, upon Moses and Aaron, may Yahweh requite you for the evil you have brought upon the Israelites!

23 Hast thou delivered = The verb נצל ‘natsal’ signifies, not only to spoil, snatch away, but also to get away, to escape, to deliver, to regain, or recover. Spoil signifies what is taken by rapine or violence; but this cannot be the meaning of the original word here, as the Israelites only asked, and the Egyptians without fear, terror, or constraint, freely gave. 

“nun-tsade-lamed” “Aleph-tav”

Nun = (seed) continue, heir, son

Tsade = (trail) journey, chase, hunt, man on his side

Lamed = lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

 What we learn from Moses as he blows off his disappointment against Yahweh, that we must be patienced. The time was not yet. Elohim is in charge. We must keep our faith in Him and be paitenced. 

Chapter 6

1              now shalt thou see = Yahweh calms Moses by renewing the promise of redemption

for with a strong hand = Compelled by the power of Yahweh

Now we go into the “Renewed Promise of Redemption”

These verses are the concluding portion of the Call of Moses, and can only be understood in connection with Chapters 3 and 4. 

In view of the despair and despondency of both Moses and the People recorded in the last chapter and in reply to the reproach of Moses ‘Thou hast not delivered Thy people,’ Yahweh repeats the promises of redemption made at Horeb.
