Exodus lesson 9 part 1

Slide 1: 

Your right hand, oh Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, oh Lord, shattered the enemy. Exodus 15:6 Memory Verse #9

Dear Diary, : 

Dear Diary, We are breaking camp today. Our latest clue is sending us to the beach at the edge of the Red Sea. Last night, it was really dark. Clouds hid the stars. Canteen stayed in the tent all night with the lantern. It made me think about the plague of darkness. I learned that the Egyptians believed in a god named Ra. They thought Ra was very powerful and controlled the sun. God showed He was stronger than the strongest Egyptian gods. Gotta go now. It’s a long walk to the beach. Canteen packed the sunblock. D.D.

Slide 3: 

Wailing – Long and loud crying because of suffering and misery Firstborn – the first son born in a family, most important child in the family Locusts – a type of grasshopper that travels in swarms, eating and destroying crops. HUH?

Exodus 10 & 11God continued to give Pharaoh opportunities to yield to Him. : 

Exodus 10 & 11God continued to give Pharaoh opportunities to yield to Him.

Slide 5: 

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them…

Slide 6: 

…that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the LORD."

Slide 7: 

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me.

Slide 8: 

If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow.

Slide 9: 

They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.

Slide 10: 

They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your fathers nor your forefathers have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.' " Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.

Slide 11: 

Pharaoh's officials said to him, How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?"

Slide 12: 

Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh Go, worship the LORD your God, but just who will be going?

Slide 13: 

Moses answered, We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival to the LORD.

Slide 14: 

Pharaoh said, The LORD be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil.

Slide 15: 

Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh's presence No! Have only the men go; and worship the LORD, since that's what you have been asking for.

Slide 16: 

And the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts will swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail."

Slide 17: 

So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the LORD made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;

Slide 18: 

they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.

Slide 19: 

They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
