Eighty-year-old Moses climbed Mount Sinai again with a wooden staff in hand, looking down to see tents scattered everywhere. The people knew they were wrong and understood that the true god could never be replaced by a false god; worshipping a false god only leads to intoxication and carnal desires.

On Mount Sinai, God told Moses, “I will send angels ahead of you to lead you into the land of milk and honey.” But I will not go with you, lest I destroy you along the way, for you are a stubborn people.

Go back and declare to the people of Israel, ‘You stubborn people, even if I were with you for a moment, I fear I would wipe you out.’ Now you must take off your ornaments, and I will decide what to do with you. Moses could not plead for mercy, so he went down again and told the people below. The people, feeling heavy-hearted, took off their jewelry—the ones the Egyptians had given them in panic when they left Egypt.

That is evidence that God protects and blesses them. Now, the source of blessing, God, is about to leave them. Their obsession awakened, and they recalled what God had led them to do over the past few months, realizing that without God, even if they barely returned to Canaan, how could they have survived among the powerful surrounding nations?

Since then, they have never worn gold or silver jewelry again. Moses set up the tabernacle outside the camp, where he would see God outside the camp. Every time Moses left the camp, the people stood respectfully and watched him enter the tent of meeting.

When God’s pillar of cloud descended upon the Tabernacle, God spoke with Moses within the Tabernacle. The people prostrate themselves by their tents and worship God.

Because the people sincerely repented, one day in the Tabernacle, Moses pleaded with God to personally lead Israel into Canaan: “If you do not go with us, do not let us leave this place.”

If you do not go with us, who will know that I and your people have found favor before you? Is it not your presence that sets us apart from other nations on earth? ”

God saw the reverence of the Israelites and heard Moses’ sincere plea. Since He had forgiven them, He was to renew the covenant with the Israelites and reaffirm the covenant of the law. God said to Moses, “You shall carve out two stone tablets, just like the two you broke before. I will carve the inscriptions on the first two tablets.” You must be prepared; tomorrow morning you will come to the top of Mount Sinai to see me. ”

Early the next morning, Moses personally carved out two stone tablets and climbed Mount Sinai. On the mountaintop, as winds rose and clouds surged, the Lord passed before Moses and declared: “I am the Lord, I am the Lord, God of mercy and grace, who does not easily anger, is full of love, is supremely faithful, shows love to millions, forgives sin and transgression, but never exempts from guilt.” ”

Moses hurriedly fell to the ground and said, “Lord, if I have found favor in You, please walk with us.”

Though the people are stubborn, please forgive our transgressions and sins, and accept us as your people. ”

God said, “I will make a covenant with you, and I will do wonders before your people—wonders never before seen in all the nations under heaven. The foreigners around you will see the great and awesome things I have done for you.” ”

God carved the Ten Commandments on stone tablets and repeatedly warned Moses not to allow the people to worship the false gods of neighboring nations. Moses stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights, just as before, recording the statutes of the law, and then descended with the newly carved tablets. This time, the people at the foot of the mountain were solemn and dignified, lining up in orderly lines from afar, waiting for Moses.

When they saw Moses, their faces showed fear, and no one came forward.

Moses called Aaron and the elders closer, and only then did they know from their mouths that his face was shining like a lamp. So Moses covered his face with a veil, called the people, and told them in detail the Ten Commandments and the laws that God had declared the second time.

Finally, Moses told the people that God had forgiven their previous collective betrayal, promised to go with them, and personally lead them into Canaan. The common people heard this, cheered and leapt with joy, their clamor shaking the heavens.

Moses then explained in detail how God would have priests leading the people in various sacrifices and celebrations in the holiest of sanctuaries they had built. After hearing this, the people rejoiced, returned to their tents, and presented gold and silver ornaments, various kinds of yarn, spices, and essential oils to Moses. Finally, Moses commanded the entire camp: “No need for any more gifts for the sanctuary; the ingredients are more than sufficient.” ”。 Only then did the people stop giving tribute.

Moses then chose skilled craftsmen and told them the blueprint God had designed. They made according to the plan, finished everything needed for the tabernacle, and also made priestly robes. Nearly a year after the Exodus, on January 1st of the following year, the entire tabernacle was completed and handed over to the priests for use. The whole assembly gathered before the tabernacle, where priests from Aaron’s family offered sacrifices and worshipped the true God.

At that time, clouds covered the tabernacle of the meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle of the Holy Hall. Israel is finally about to leave Mount Sinai. What awaits them on the journey ahead?

“Even if some of them don’t believe it, so what? Would their unbelief invalidate God’s faithfulness? Absolutely not! ” [Romans 3:3]

The Israelites kneeling to the golden calf heard the sound of stone slabs shattering on the ground. Startled, they looked toward the sound and saw Moses with hair standing on end, his feet covered in rubble. Behind him, Joshua held Moses’ staff, and Aaron, looking guilty, stood nearby. They instinctively know that the brief happy times are over, but the happiness is just beginning.

While enslaved in Egypt, seeing the Egyptians they served indulge in festivities and revelry, they could only envy in vain. When Moses led them out of Egypt, they were chased by chariots, like lost dogs, unable to attend to anything else. Once in the wilderness, still shaken, they began to suffer from shortages of water and food, struggling to survive. Stationed at the foot of Mount Sinai, they finally found peace, but it was a desolate wilderness, lifeless, and terrified out of their wits by the god on the mountain.

Finally, Moses died on the mountain. After enduring a life of slavery, hunting, hunger and thirst, and boredom, they were suddenly shocked to find that the authority that suppressed their nature had completely vanished, and even the great, awe-inspiring, and supremely holy true God had vanished. In the vast wilderness, in the boundless desert, in the silent sea of sand, they suddenly tasted the pleasure of indulgence—God had disappeared, Moses was gone, Aaron was shrinking, and who could stop them from compensating for the festivities they had never experienced in their lives? Life is short; how could they not indulge in pleasure drunkenly and madly, or do whatever they wanted like madness? But Moses actually came back alive! Forty days on the mountain, and he was still alive! The God behind him must still be there.

The sound of shattering stones was deafening, recalling the covenant with the true god just made and the holiness and awe-inspiring nature of the gods. Their conscience awakened like a dream, like a lighthouse lighting in the deep night, driving away the fog that filled the sea of desire. They had to stop and look at Moses.

Moses stood at the entrance to the camp, seeing the dejected expressions of the crowd, still in their excitement but forced to stop. He saw everything in his eyes and couldn’t help but feel indignant, trembling with anger. These people personally experienced the ten plagues in Egypt, yet were protected by God and remained safe; Chased by Egyptian chariots, yet crossed the Red Sea opened by God unscathed; When he was extremely thirsty, God had Moses strike the rock, and the rock split open and water flowed out; After the wilderness ran out of food, the gods sent quail and manna to satisfy their appetites. When they made a covenant with God, they clearly agreed to keep the Ten Commandments and the law, yet they quickly became idols.

Disappointment swept through Moses’ heart like a cold current. Before descending the mountain, when he pleaded with God, he never imagined that the people below would fall so “freely” and be so ungrateful and ungrateful so quickly. A group of slaves saved by God actually fell together and acted recklessly just months later.

When God personally wrote the covenant on the stone tablets on the mountain, He had already foreseen their rebellious resolve, but He suppressed his anger and poured out only to Moses. As for himself, he hadn’t expected that once he saw the filthy scene below the mountain, his anger would erupt like a volcano—uncontrollable, and the promise to the stone tablet in his hand hadn’t even been announced before it had already been broken.

What use is it to keep the stone tablets! How could I fully vent my inner grief and anger after falling? God’s stone tablet shattered, but the golden calf still shone with golden light. O idol that binds the heart, how many men and women you have caused to perish, and how many nations will be ensnared.

Moses shouted loudly, “Throw that golden calf into the fire, melt it into juice, grind it into powdered gold, and throw it into this spring.” All of you who have worshipped it should drink from the spring. Let your idols become dung, so that you may remember the false gods you worshipped! “Idols can be easily broken, but how can one easily remove the idol in a person’s heart!” Among the people, over three thousand saw the statue of their jewelry burned by Moses and was consumed with rage. Since they had tasted the pleasure of indulgence for the first time, why not just kill this troublesome old man? They wielded sharp weapons, shouted loudly, and jumped out of their tents, trying to gather together, supporting each other and rebellion.

Moses saw that the leaders were acting recklessly and the riot was rising, fearing that the destruction God had warned of would suddenly come upon all the people. So he stood at the camp gate and shouted loudly, “Everyone who follows the LORD, stand with me.” As soon as he finished speaking, the sons of the tribe of Levi, where Moses was, gathered around him.

God designated the tribe of Levi as a priestly family on the mountain, but Moses had not yet had time to tell them. At the critical moment of national survival, the Levites bravely and chivalrous stepped forward to protect Moses. Moses looked around at them: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Each of you take up your sword and go from one gate of camp to the other, through the whole camp. If you find anyone who causes trouble, whether it is friends or family, you shall kill them without mercy.’ “” When the Levites heard this, they shouted and charged into the camp.

They targeted the troublemakers who were looking for an opening, splitting into smaller groups, raising their blades to strike. Blood splattered instantly, cries of grief filled the air, and corpses fell to the ground one after another.

As dusk approached, the sounds of slaughter gradually ceased, the cries of mourning faded, and only the stench of blood drifted with the dust, spreading throughout the camp. The surviving civilians were so terrified their faces turned ashen, all prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move, like the dead.

The entire camp fell silent, with only the sons of Levi stepping forward with swords and striding through the camp. They ensured that all the troublemakers were eliminated and returned to Moses’ side.

Because of idolatry, the Israelites’ first collective rebellion was personally quelled by Moses. The setting sun slants and the dusk is blood-reddened. The camp is littered with corpses. Moses surveys the entire camp, saying nothing, his heart filled with grief and anger. In the morning, they descended the mountain in high spirits, expecting the people to cheer and rejoice, but unexpectedly, three thousand men and women, driven by selfish desires, chose to oppose the gods and lost their lives.

God, this remaining people have completely broken their covenant with you. The stone tablet has shattered, just like my heart. What lies ahead? I am confused and confused. God, early tomorrow morning, please allow me to climb to the top again and plead with you.

“So people have already known God, but do not glorify Him as God or give thanks to Him;” [ Romans 1:21 ]

The summer sunset is like a fireball that has cooled all day but still hasn’t fully solidified, shooting its last heat onto the sand and stones in the wilderness, painting everything its orange yellow.

The people at the foot of the mountain sat outside the stifling tents, ate the dinner Mana had picked out that day, drank the spring water flowing from the man-made canal, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and looked toward the nearby summit of Sinai. Forty days have passed, and they have developed the habit of gazing at the summit of Mount Sinai after eating.

Moses had been up for a full forty days! The previous times he went up, he came down quickly, at most only a few days. Why did it take so long this time? Is he still alive? Forty days had passed, and he had not uttered a single word through Joshua.

Joshua, who was waiting halfway up the mountain, had never seen Moses, and although he needed to go down every few days to replenish water and food, he always went up the mountain with great confidence and returned to his old place to wait for Moses.

But how could Moses still be alive? It’s so hot down the mountain, and there’s a fire burning up there. With such heat, wasn’t Moses thirsty? Even if he had water to drink, he still needed to eat.

Where can you find food on the mountain? Isn’t he hungry? The sun set, yet Moses still did not appear; the people’s last bit of patience and hope sank along with the sunset. They regretted not realizing this ten or twenty days earlier: Moses died, either dying of heat or starving on the mountain.

How could he possibly show no sign of anything for forty days? If he never comes down, are we supposed to just sit idly by this withered mountain, waiting for death? The townspeople gathered in small groups, whispering quietly, and gradually more and more people gathered, their voices growing louder. In the end, everyone gathered around Aaron with several leaders, saying, “That guy Moses, he brought us to this place, and then went up the mountain himself.”

Forty days have passed. We’ve waited a full forty days, but we don’t know what he’s been through. It looks like he’s in grave danger. We can’t keep waiting like this; we must break camp and move forward. We need God to guide us. Hurry and make us a statue so it can lead us forward! ”

Aaron was about to say, “Moses is still on the mountain with God; he will surely come down soon.”

God forbids us to be idols. But as the words reached his lips, he saw the suppressed anger in the eyes of those surrounding him—a fury that seemed to have been brewing ever since they left Egypt, and now it was finally on the verge of erupting. Aaron knew any objection could trigger an explosion, so he responded noncommittally, “Go take off the gold earrings your wives and children are wearing and bring them to me.” ”

People quickly dispersed, leaving Aaron standing there in a daze. Aaron thought people would cherish the precious gold jewelry, but unexpectedly, the men soon returned, carrying gold pieces of various sizes and placing them in a basket in front of Aaron’s feet. The basket was quickly full, and another basket was full.

Aaron and his craftsmen melted the jewelry over fire, poured orange-yellow molten gold into a hollow mold, and after the liquid cooled, they broke the mold, took out the golden statue, carefully polished it, carved it into exquisite details, and finally polished it. A dazzling golden bull was created and presented to everyone. Forty days after Moses met God on the mountain, God gave him two stone tablets inscribed with God’s commandments.

Moses finished packing and was about to descend when faint noises of people came from below, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, like waves crashing against the rocks at the foot of the mountain. Moses was astonished, listened carefully, and heard the sounds of various instruments, mixed with women’s screams and men’s cheers.

The people at the foot of the mountain had been quiet these days—why did things turn out like this today? Moses was puzzled when God said to him, “Go down the mountain quickly, for the people you brought out of Egypt have fallen.”

They quickly turned away from the way I had told them, made a bull statue for themselves, knelt before it, and offered sacrifices to it, saying, ‘Israel, this is your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt.’ Moses was stunned, almost unable to believe what he was hearing. Forty days ago, didn’t the people just make a covenant with God under the altar? Isn’t the first of the Ten Commandments boldly written: You shall have no other gods before me?

Do not idolize yourself, nor idolize all things in heaven, on earth, and in the water? Didn’t these people say in unison, “We will do everything God commands?” How did they forget everything in just forty days? Before the sacrificial system and sanctuary design that God had just decreed could be implemented, they committed the capital sin. The god continued, “I see these people are truly stubborn and stubborn.

Let me wrath on them and destroy them; I will make you a great nation. When Moses heard this, it was as if he saw two million Israelites lying dead in the wilderness, vultures swarmed in the sky like flies in the sky, and wolves on the ground tearing at the decaying corpses. He was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat, fell face down on the ground, and pleaded with God: “Lord, these are your people, brought out of Egypt by your mighty arm. Why are you so angry?”

Why should the Egyptians mock and slander us, saying, ‘God harbors ill intentions and brought them out here to kill and destroy them’? Please change your mind and not lose your temper; Please change your original intention and not bring disaster upon your people.

Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; You once swore to them by your own hand, saying: ‘I will make your descendants multiply, like the stars in the sky; I will give your descendants the whole land I promised, and they will inherit it forever. ’”

God is full of grace and mercy. Although the Israelites broke the covenant they had just made with God and committed capital sins, because of Moses’ intercession, God withdrew His anger. In the future, God will forgive them more than once, and they will break their covenant more than once.

Moses went down the mountain, with Joshua on his belt halfway up, holding two stone tablets in his hands. The further down they went, the louder the noise became, like the roars and shouts of a battlefield. Walking down the mountain and entering the camp, Moses finally saw scenes he could hardly believe and understood why those voices were coming from.

Amidst all this commotion, only the golden ox stood firm and unmoving. Surrounding it were devotees with twisted faces and kneeling on their knees. They seemed drunk, their eyes unfocused, their steps staggering, heading toward their desired destination, but not a single one paid attention to Moses. Although it was noon, many tents were filled with lewd sounds and lewd talk from men and women.

Moses looked at this, his face pale, blood rushing to his head, as if forgetting his earlier plea to God. He raised his arms, raised two stone slabs high in his hands, and then slammed them heavily onto the stones on the ground. With a bang, the stone slab shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere. This time, the Israelites seemed to hear it; the entire camp swept through like a strong wind, the noise falling like petals falling to the ground, and finally falling silent.

“The LORD, the LORD, is a merciful and gracious God, who does not easily anger, but is full of love and truth, leaving love for thousands upon thousands of people, forgiving sins, transgressions, and iniquities.” [Exodus 34:6-7]

After the treaty was made, clouds covered Mount Sinai for seven days.

On the seventh day, God called Moses again on the mountain.

Moses climbed up the mountain again, this time bringing only his young assistant Joshua [meaning ‘God to save you]. Joshua belonged to the tribe of Ephraim and the tribe of Ephraim. Ephraim was Joseph’s second son. Before Jacob died, Joseph’s father gave Ephraim’s blessing to his eldest grandson, saying, “His descendants will be multiple.” Joshua was brave and courageous, and shortly after crossing the Red Sea, he led his men to fight the attacking Amalekites and defeated them.

The mountaintop was near, and God’s glory appeared through the dense clouds, like blazing flames enveloping the mountain. Moses looked down through the clouds, seeing vast wilderness at the foot of the mountain, tents scattered like stars, and the people walking there like ants being carried away. What new instructions does the mountain god have this time? After the last descent, the Ten Commandments and laws issued by God were preached to the people.

They spoke in unison, “Whatever God commands, we must obey.” Thus the covenant between God and Israel was established: Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain, offered the sacrificial animals, and the blood of the covenant animals flowed into the basin. Moses sprinkled it over the people, signifying that the Israelites would keep God’s law and honor the true God Jehovah alone.

Not only that, God also sent Moses to bring Aaron and more than seventy elders up the mountain to feast with God to celebrate the covenant of the covenant. They saw a sapphire-like path laid beneath God’s feet, pure as the blue sky.

Moses saw that the summit was near, and knowing he was the only one who could go up alone, kept Joshua halfway up the mountain, instructing him to keep an eye on the footsteps and watch for anyone to break in. But God’s plan was to be revealed step by step to Moses, because God foresaw the future, but humans could not.

If Moses were told in advance about everything that would happen next, he definitely couldn’t bear it. God first issued the law to the Israelites, as if placing a mirror before them, so that in the mirror they could see their own filth and filth through God’s glory.

But how can people see their true nature clearly? Since Adam sinned, people have become proud and overestimate themselves. The law was meant to make people aware of their sins and humble them, but the Israelites gradually began to use it as a badge of honor for themselves.

God’s standard is absolutely not covered by the law; the law forbids adultery, but 1,400 years after Moses, God revealed the true standard to the world: “Anyone who sees a woman and has lustful thoughts has committed adultery in his heart.”

Even so, God had long foreseen that people would be utterly defeated before the law, and the fundamental reason for failure was the same as Adam’s failure: people did not regard God as God, nor seek His help, but instead created a false God out of their own selfish desires.

God’s original intention is not to trap people in sin, because they are already mired in the mire of sin and cannot escape. God’s law is meant to show people the truth and prompt them to turn to God, asking Him to pull them out of the swamp of sin.

So simply proclaiming the law to the Israelites was only the first step; God also wanted to give them the opportunity to come before Him and repent. This time when Moses ascended the mountain, God would show him this way: First, God would establish His sanctuary among the people of Israel, so that they could draw near to Him, worship Him, and call upon Him.

Second, God’s sanctuary is holy and awe-inspiring; sinners must not be offended. Only priests chosen by God can symbolically purify themselves according to the ritual rites, draw near to God, and atone for the people’s sins. God told Moses the layout of the sanctuary and the rituals for worship on the mountain. The sanctuary is surrounded by interlockable curtains and pillars, about 60 meters long east to west and 30 meters wide north to south, entering the courtyard from the east entrance,

First, we saw a bronze altar. Behind the altar was a bronze basin for the priests to wash their hands. Behind the basin was a sanctuary enclosed by curtains. The first level of the sanctuary was over five meters wide and 11 meters long, containing an incense altar, a gilded offering table, and a gilded lampstand. The second level is the Holy of Holies House, which contains only the pure gold Ark of the Covenant. Three items will be stored inside the Ark of the Covenant, reminding future generations how God will save their ancestors.

God decreed that the priests would be held by the family of Moses’ brother Aaron, who was from the tribe of Levi. Levi was Jacob’s third son. Because of his upright and violent nature, he once slaughtered the city with his second brother Simeon and showed the sword. Before his death, his father Jacob predicted the fate of the two brothers’ families: “Their anger is cursed because it is extremely violent; Their wrath is cursed, for they are fierce; I will scatter them among Jacob’s house; Scatter them throughout Israel.

Under this prophecy, the Simeon family disappeared from the public eye. At the age of forty, Moses also committed murder with a violent temper and fled for forty years, but after obeying God’s call, he led the Israelites out of Egypt after eighty. Because of this, God turned the curse on Levi into a blessing—the supreme priesthood would be held by the Levi family for generations, who were scattered among the people and never owned property.

When priests serve God in the sanctuary, they must wear a special inner robe, outer robe, headband, belt, ribbon (called an ephod), and breastplate. God commanded Moses: “I will meet with the Israelites in the sanctuary, and the tabernacle will be holy because of my glory.”

I will sanctify the tabernacle and the altar, and also Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will be their God. They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of Egypt to dwell among them. I am the LORD their God. Moses conversed with God on the summit of Mount Sinai for forty days, during which God told Moses about the past history and more chapters. Moses later recorded what God told him, making it the first five books of the Bible.

Forty days passed quickly. God urged Moses down the mountain and gave him two stone tablets, on which were the Ten Commandments personally written by God. Moses turned to go down the mountain, but God told him something happening at the foot of the mountain. Moses was shocked and nearly dropped the stone tablet in his hand to the ground. He never expected things to deteriorate so quickly.

“If you do not believe what Moses wrote, how can you believe what I say?” ‭ 【 约 5 : 47 】

Two full months after leaving Egypt, the Israelites arrived at the foot of Mount Sinai. The desert is like the sea, the mountains like giant ships. The full moon hung atop a sharp mountain, its cool light casting down, and the Israelites’ tents looked like sails floating in the sea of sand.

They had grown accustomed to picking up manna every morning, just as they saw pillars of cloud every morning and pillars of fire every night—no longer surprised. Not long ago, Moses struck a rock in the desert with his staff, causing clear water to flow, and everyone was accustomed to drinking it daily. And the experience of crossing the Red Sea under the Red Sea just over a month ago feels even more distant, like a dream.

The past is gone, and only the current dire situation haunts their hearts: endless yellow sand, lack of water and meat, desolation, and no sense of life. Why does God not immediately bring us into the promised land, but instead delays here?

But God was determined to shape these people at the foot of Mount Sinai, to stay there for a full ten months, to make a covenant with them, and to proclaim the law for them. Here, they have no external enemies; their greatest enemy is their inner selves. They are full of servility, only caring about their appetites, acting recklessly, and worshipping false gods recklessly.

But God wants to change them in His way. Four hundred years ago, God called Abraham to deliver one of his bait because of his faith; four hundred years later, God will train his two million descendants to become the elite soldiers of faith. Four hundred years ago, God promised Abraham to become the father of all nations; four hundred years later, God would temper this barbarian slave into God’s chosen people, a kingdom of priests.

Mount Sinai: A year ago, God called Moses down from the burning bushes to save the Israelites. A year later, God called Moses again to the top of Mount Sinai and said to him, “Tell the house of Jacob and say to the Israelites: If you listen to my words and keep my covenant, you will be my inheritance among all nations.” You shall be priests to kings and holy nations to me. ”

Moses told the people that God would make a covenant with them, and without hesitation, the people responded in unison: “We must obey everything God has commanded.” On the third morning, the time of the covenant arrived. Moses led the cleansed people to the foot of Mount Sinai, with his brother Aaron following closely behind, and the elders of the twelve tribes, each bringing men from different tribes, followed closely behind Aaron. The people trembled as they walked, not daring to look up. After reaching a certain distance from the foot of the mountain, they dared not take a step forward.

For God, through Moses, had already warned them that whoever touched the foot of the mountain would be struck by God. At this moment, thick clouds had already gathered above the mountaintop, lightning flashed and thunder roared, lightning tore the sky like tearing apart, massive thunder shattered the heavenly court, the whole mountain burned like a furnace, black smoke rising, and the sky churned upward.

The people’s faces turned ashen, trembling with fear and fear, prostrating themselves on the ground, but the ground trembled like a sieve of chaff. The epicenter of the shock came from the mountain, which was like a ship at sea, rocking and swaying. Amidst the black smoke, flames flickered like snakes, darting everywhere.

The people feel as small as insects and ants, helpless and uneasy, unable to look at them, yet in their hearts they understand: I, a sinner, before the majesty of God, am like chaff trying to approach the flames—how can I escape? The clouds grew thicker, lightning flashed more frequently, thunder struck harder, mountains shook more violently, and the people were terrified to the point of tearing their hearts apart, unable to seek help.

From the mountaintop, the sound of horns could be heard, like a heavenly army gathering and thousands of horses neighing silently. At the sound of the horn, Moses stepped forward, leaning on his staff, his hair flowing, looking up toward the mountain, calling out to God, asking God to forgive the people’s transgressions and to guide them in their future.  

God was on the mountain peak, responding to Moses with a thunderclap, commanding him to climb the mountain and meet God. Moses, because of God’s election, relying on faith in God and God’s earlier promises, climbed the mountain step by step without a scratch. The mountain was shrouded in dark clouds, dark as night, yet above the summit there was the glory of the gods.

On the summit of Mount Sinai, God issued the Ten Commandments to Moses like a constitution, revealing God’s will and standards for humanity. The first four commandments emphasize relationships between humans and gods, while the last six emphasize relationships among people. Moses directly recorded God’s command: You shall have no other gods before me.

Do not idolize yourself, nor be the image of the things in heaven, on the earth, and in the waters beneath the earth. Do not falsely claim the name of the Lord your God, for anyone who falsely claims the name of the Lord will not be without sin. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

Honor your parents so that you may enjoy long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. and must not kill anyone. and must not commit adultery or sexual misconduct. and must not steal. Do not give false testimony to entrap your neighbor. Do not covet your neighbor’s house; Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, servant, oxen, donkey, or anything of his possessions. Besides the Ten Commandments, God also issued specific civil laws to Moses concerning civil disputes.

He also established the death penalty to include: worshipping false gods, murdering people, practicing witchcraft, and having sexual relations with beasts. God reaffirms the Sabbath and the Sabbath year, and has established three festivals each year: Passover at the beginning of the year, the Mid-Year Harvest Festival, and the Year-End Harvest Festival.

Moses descended the mountain and reiterated all the commandments and decrees of the Lord to the people. The people, having just experienced God’s majesty, were amazed that Moses dared to go up the mountain and survive, and were filled with awe, saying in unison, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.” ”

Have they truly kept God’s law? Has the covenant between God and Moses ended here?

“The Lord said to Moses, “When I was glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots and horsemen, the Egyptians knew that I was the Lord.” ” [Exodus 14:15]

At dusk, valiant warhorses, sharp swords and spears, six hundred Egyptian chariots kicked up dust like a moving cliff, surging toward the Israelites by the sea.

The soldiers’ helmet gleamed and the armor gleamed, as if floating on a dust-covered magic carpet.

The warhorses did not neigh, only thunderous hooves. The soldiers did not shout, only showed expressions of vengeful anger. The chariots quickly formed an attacking formation, and all the Israelis were tightly surrounded, unable to escape.

The Egyptian commander looked down at the densely packed Israelis on the beach, a smug smile on his face.

He ordered the corporal to wave the flag, and all the Egyptian chariots stopped one after another. Only over a thousand warhorses exhaled white steam, and the banners of various colors fluttered in the wind. Dust wrapped in the sweat and murderous aura of the soldiers, drifting like mist, soon enveloping the Israelites.

The commander should fully enjoy the despair of the prey at the brink of defeat, and wait until dawn to join the main army behind before massacring them in a bloody slaughter. These descendants of Abraham, these descendants of Jacob, these so-called God’s chosen people, the hope of humanity, are nothing but a group of ragged slaves living under others’ roofs, just a group of refugees destined to be slaughtered and die unnatural deaths.

Night had already fallen, and the terrified Israelites were like sheep trapped by wolves, tongue-tied and silent. They stared at the ferocious chariots in the night like bizarre beasts, their blood nearly stagnant, as if feeling the sharp pain of long grass piercing their chests, as if hearing the sound of bones breaking as a swift blade sliced through their necks.

They realized the Egyptians had no intention of charging immediately and gradually guessed that they were waiting for the main army behind them.

The night gathers their fear into an almost tangible cold mist. Instinctively, they look up at the sky, crying out to the gods, but the night remains solemn as ever. In despair, they surrounded Moses and let out their final shouts: “You, Moses! Is it true that Egypt has no tombs, and you insist on taking us to die in this desolate wilderness? What are your intentions? What is your intention? Why does this harm us? We serve the Egyptians as oxen and horses, at least providing food and drink and enjoying their old days! Yet you have trapped us in this desperate situation, letting us be slaughtered, dying violently in the wild, with no body left intact! ”

Moses was protected by the elders and escaped the brunt of the fists. He understood the people’s despair and anger, and saw the elders’ eyes filled with pride and terror. Moses looked up to heaven and silently cried out to God, “God, your people are as precarious as eggs stacked in a pile, facing destruction.” Since Your mighty hand has brought us here, please rescue us from this deadly trap with your arms. ”

After finishing his prayer, Moses’ eyes shone brightly. He looked around at the crowd and loudly proclaimed, “O Israelites, do not be afraid!” Just stand still and watch the Lord Himself save you. The Egyptians who surrounded you today will never see you again. Since the Lord has led us all the way with a pillar of cloud, He will fight for you personally. Be quiet and silent. ” The night is like ink, soaking the wilderness.

From the east shore of the Red Sea, a sea breeze rose and grew stronger. The black seawater surged and churned like giant hands, producing a terrifying roar. The pillar of cloud that had been leading the Israelites forward on the beach was blown by the mighty wind, moving from the shore all the way between the Israelis and the Egyptian army, like a wall stretching across the sky, unmoving.

On the Egyptian battlefield, sand flew like rain, clouds blocked the way, torches were blown out, and darkness shrouded the army like a giant curtain.

On the other side of the cloud pillar, it radiated a glow like evening glow, illuminating the people of Israel on the beach. The Lord God said to Moses in the wind, “Why are you calling on me?” He commanded the Israelites to move forward.

Lift up the staff in your hand and stretch out toward the sea, parting the sea, and have the Israelites go down into the sea and walk on dry ground.

Look, I will make the hearts of the Egyptians as hard as iron, and they will pursue the Israelites down; In this way, I will be glorified in Pharaoh and his entire army, in his chariots and soldiers. ”

As night deepened, Moses parted the crowd, passed through the human wall, and stood by the sea. The wind grew fiercer, the waves grew fiercer, and the water churned like thousands of galloping horses, trying to break through the coastal bonds. Moses’ robes fluttered like flames about to be extinguished by the wind, standing alone like reeds about to be broken by the wind.

He leaned forward, took a bow stance, faced the fierce wind, raised both hands high, extended his cane, and pointed straight at the Red Sea. Where the staff pointed, the once wild and unruly seawater seemed to charge into an unstoppable lion, charging straight in with unstoppable momentum, cleaving the water in the middle and carving out a cross-sea road that reached the seabed. The seawater on both sides is like boiling icebergs, gradually turning and retreating, leaving a wide channel in the middle that naturally connects with the shore, forming gentle slopes that reach dozens of meters deep beneath the seabed.

The east wind continued to howl, gradually drying out the rocks on the seabed.

The people behind Moses stared at the avenue leading to the deep, dark seabed, dumbfounded and unable to believe it. Moses turned around, directed the people to line up in order, then led the vanguard to take the first step toward the other side of the Red Sea. Behind them, the people followed the lead like sheep, leading livestock, carrying children, carrying bundles, and heading toward the seabed.

As dawn approached and dawn was breaking, the Israelites walked on the seabed, gradually climbing uphill. Seeing the opposite shore of the Red Sea right before their eyes, they couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief and quicken their aching feet. The elderly, weak, women, and children left behind suddenly became restless. At dawn, they saw the Egyptian pursuers behind them. The chariots of the pursuers were entangled by the rocks at the seabed, struggling to advance, but relying on their strong men and horses, they were gradually closing in on the rear of Ezeri’s ranks.

Moses stood on the high shore across the Red Sea, watching as the Israelites finally climbed the gentle slope across the Red Sea, covered in sand, but fear reclaimed them, because they looked back at the way they had come. The Egyptian army was like a winding dragon, crossing the seabed and chasing straight ahead.

When the red sun first appeared and the sea wind ceased, God said to Moses, “Reach out to the sea, and the waters will flow back and be restored, swallowing up the Egyptians’ chariots and horsemen.” ”

Moses did as instructed, stretching out his staff toward the sea. The water was like a tamed herd of horses joining together, or like a reservoir releasing a flood, splashing everywhere and sounding like an avalanche. Moments later, the sea calmed, and the Egyptian pursuers vanished like a nightmare, vanishing without a trace. This miracle was recorded in Israel’s annals and became a recognized event in human history.

From then on, the Israelites completely broke free from more than four centuries of sojournment and became an independent great clan.

From then on, what they must overcome is no longer external enemies, but their own servility and sin, and what drives them to change is no longer earth-shattering miracles.

The Lord told Moses, “Command the Israelites to turn back and camp near the sea, between Mitten and the Sea.” Pharaoh will say, ‘They have gone astray, and the wilderness has trapped them.’ ‘ I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them; In this way, I may be glorified in Pharaoh and in all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. ” [Exodus 14:1-4]

At dawn, a swift horse shot into the imperial city like an arrow, galloping straight to the palace gates. The strong soldiers dismounted, quickly passed through the heavily guarded guards, and knelt before the Pharaoh on the throne: “Your Majesty, a confidential message has arrived from the border outpost. The fleeing Israelites seem lost. They have deviated from the eastward route, turned back, and then headed south to the shores of the Red Sea.” They are now blocked by the Red Sea, with mountains and deserts behind them, and the food they took should have been eaten up by now. They had been stuck there for several days, seemingly overwhelmed. ”

Pharaoh sat inside the throne, listened calmly, questioned a few questions, and then dismissed the soldiers. Then he turned to the ministers on both sides: “What do you think?” ”

The ministers were enraged and offered their advice, unanimously suggesting they seize the opportunity to exterminate the Israelites and take young men and women back to Egypt as slaves for generations. Pharaoh listened from above, calm and composed, his eyes witty and cautious, like a cobra awakening from its wake. After these Hebrews left, he seemed to suddenly awaken from a nightmare, almost unable to believe he had let them go for nothing.

Half-fired kiln bricks lay scattered everywhere, like leaves swept away by an autumn gale. Cities stood half-built, resembling the scab-ridden scalp of a bald man; quarries, abandoned mid-operation, looked like crocodiles with their bellies ripped open; and the scars left by the Ten Plagues crisscrossed the land like welts from a lash. In every Egyptian household, the grief over the loss of a son slowly curdled into a bone-deep hatred for the Israelites. The people clamored for Pharaoh to exact vengeance and to reclaim the gold, silver, and jewels the Israelites had taken with them. Ever since the Israelites’ departure, Egyptian outposts along the route had kept Pharaoh apprised of their movements, sending him daily dispatches on their progress.

Instead of taking the shortest, direct route along the northern coast, the Israelites had plunged straight into the desolate wilderness, fleeing toward the southeast. At first, Pharaoh and his ministers were utterly baffled: why, while the Egyptians were still reeling in terror, did the Israelites not hasten to cross the border? Why take a detour into the Egyptian desert? Caught in this confusion—and wary of the Israelites’ God—Pharaoh held his hatred in check and remained still, though he lay coiled like a cobra in its den, watching intently.

Today’s intelligence, however, swept the clouds of suspicion from Pharaoh’s mind. He scoffed inwardly, mocking himself for his earlier caution: “To hell with the Israelites and their God! Their deity knows even less about military strategy than my lowliest foot soldier—failing to grasp that speed is the essence of war, failing to avoid terrain that spells certain death, and leading this rabble straight into the heart of the wilderness!”

“I actually thought they had some clever scheme! Bah—I gave them far too much credit. Now they’ve walked right into a trap of their own making, hemmed in between the Red Sea and the mountains. Isn’t this a natural snare—a heaven-sent opportunity? If I don’t strike now, I’ll be inviting disaster by spurning a gift from the gods! If I don’t avenge the death of my son now, when will I ever? Even if their God intends to save them—what, is He going to sprout wings for them?” Pharaoh smiled, rose from his throne, and descended. Summoning his military commander—poised, like a cobra, to deliver a lethal strike—he commanded, “Select 600 of our finest chariots, each manned by elite warriors. Form an advance vanguard to pursue and encircle the trapped Israelites. I shall personally lead the full force of Egypt’s chariots and infantry to follow and crush them.

By the shores of the sea, we shall annihilate these wretched Hebrew slaves—wiping away our national disgrace and asserting our imperial might!” Deep in the vast desert, along the shores of the Red Sea, the sun began to set. The exhausted Israelites lay scattered across the sands like a swarm of ants.
Days of forced marching had pushed these slaves—accustomed only to a life of grueling labor—to their absolute limit. The fleeting excitement they had felt upon gaining their freedom from Egypt had long since given way to utter exhaustion and paralyzing fear. Like birds startled by an arrow, they kept glancing back, gripped by the instinctive dread that the Egyptian army was closing in.

And how could the Egyptians *not* pursue them? Possessing the most formidable military in the world, how could they simply stand by and watch over two million slaves slip away?

As the journey dragged on, resentment began to fester among the Israelites. Yet, not daring to direct their grievances toward God, they took their frustrations out on Moses. Before making any decision, Moses would withdraw to pray alone, seeking divine guidance.

The Israelites first obeyed, but gradually began to doubt: Could Moses be using God’s guise to deceive us? If God really spoke to Him, why wouldn’t He let us hear it? Since God knows everything, how could He let Moses lead us into this barren land? Let us go, but a few days ago, Moses actually led us back the way we came, then suddenly headed south. We thought he was confident, but unexpectedly, he led us into this desperate situation! Could God also get lost? Does God want us millions of people and livestock to swim across this Red Sea, where the shore is almost invisible? The sunset rolled like a red ball, slowly about to reach the desert.

In the gentle breeze, the waves gently lapped the beach. Except for the Israelis on duty making dinner, everyone else lay sprawled on the sand, drowsy asleep. Amidst the snoring, a voice suddenly screamed: “Egyptian pursuers!” The Egyptian pursuers are coming! ”

The alarm bells set in the hearts of the lying Israelis all went off. Like a swarm of locusts, they suddenly prepared to take flight, all raising their arms and leaping up. That scream still seemed to linger in their ears, yet not a single person spoke. Instead, they instinctively set up a canopy to block the sunset and gaze westward.

At sunset, wisps of dust and ash rose like smoke from a wild fire. Moments later, the dust and smoke rose like dark clouds rising from the ground, thickening and thickening to obscure the setting sun.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God is the one who takes away the sins of the world!” ” [John 1:29]

On the first full moon night of early spring, the wind blows faintly. As night deepens, the distant pyramids are draped in a hazy silver hue, and the waters of the Nile shimmer with moonlight, slowly flowing toward the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt fell into silence. After the Nine Plagues, the people were exhausted and sound asleep.

The Israelites on the land of Goshen sat and waited for the next day. After the nine plagues, although they were not disturbed, they witnessed God’s power with their own eyes, so they both respected and feared Moses. God commanded Moses, and Moses had told them several days earlier to prepare for tonight, and they did as instructed.

A flawless one-year-old lamb is picked and prepared four days in advance. After sunset today, they slaughtered it, put its blood in a basin, dipped it in hyssop, and applied it to the lintel and left and right door frames.

After sunset, they close the doors and windows, and the whole family sits together, keeping watch inside the house. Under the oil lamp, firewood was lit inside. The male owner used a quick knife to cut the lamb along the bone without breaking a single bone, grilling the meat over the fire. The housewife had already prepared the dough cake and prepared the raw bitter greens, as Moses had instructed. After the meat was grilled, the whole family sat around to share the roasted lamb.

Although it was dinner, they ate in a hurry, with men, women, young and old all dressed neatly, looking ready to depart.

All the Israelites kept their doors shut, and not a single person went out to admire the moon. After the meal, the housewife kneaded a large ball of fresh dough, placed it in a basin, covered it with a damp cloth, and wrapped the clothes into a bundle. The man hurriedly packed and bundled the tight household items, ready to place them on the livestock’s back at dawn. The children went to bed fully clothed, while the adults stayed alert, waiting for dawn.

Through Moses, God told all Israelites that this would be their last night in Egypt, and also their last day of slavery there. Starting tomorrow, they will bid farewell to lifelong slave life, eat and drink for seven consecutive days, and celebrate the very first festival in their nation’s history, year after year, as if celebrating the New Year. God did indeed grant them a calendar, which was the fourteenth day of the first month of the new year.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month will be the starting point of their new life. This festival is called Passover. Late at night, the Israelites sat idly and waited for dawn, alert as they awaited God’s final blow.

Each household followed Moses’ instructions and smeared the lamb’s blood on their lintels and doorframes, feeling confident that the disaster coming from God would surely pass them by. Thinking of God’s warning, they were filled with awe: “That night I will walk through all of Egypt and kill every firstborn of Egypt, whether man or livestock; I will judge all the false gods of Egypt.

I am Jehovah. This blood shall mark the houses where you live; When I saw this blood, I overstepped you.

When I strike the land of Egypt, disaster will not come upon you and bring destruction. The moonlight outside the window seemed to be veiled by dark clouds, making the ground black like ink splashed. Goshen was utterly silent, as if all the animals had fallen into a deep sleep. Beyond Géshan, a strong wind seemed to blow from afar, and the barking of dogs could be faintly carried through. After midnight, a strong wind blew through, moonlight once again entered the window, and the earth fell into dead silence. Suddenly, a mournful cry came from afar. The night, like a speaker, amplified the crying, first scattered in a few places, then gradually merging like branches and vines. Finally, the whole of Egypt was filled with cries like a river, almost engulfing Egypt.

The Israelites heard the crying, trembled in their hearts, and feared God even more. They knew that the final plague God had sent down, the tenth plague, had already come upon every Egyptian household. All the firstborn of Egypt was slain after midnight, all the firstborn of Egypt was slain, but all Israelites and their livestock were spared by the blood of the Lamb.

In the darkest hour before dawn, Pharaoh sent men to find Moses, asking him to meet Pharaoh. Pharaoh’s own eldest son died, and all the ministers’ eldest sons died. Officials from all over rushed to report that every family’s eldest son had died.

Pharaoh knew this was the God of Israel who had come down to them, because Moses had already warned him. When Pharaoh saw Moses, his tearful eyes no longer showed contempt, but fear and awe. With a crying voice, he said to Moses, “Hurry!” You Israelites, leave my people. Just as you previously requested, leave here and go into the wilderness to worship your Lord God! As you said, take away the flock and cattle, and bless me as well! Your god can actually control life and death. “At dawn, all the Egyptians had risen, and all the Israelites had come out.

The men of Israel, following family order, drove the livestock ahead, carrying household goods and children, while the women carried the raw dough they had made the night before, wrapped up their clothes, and silently followed behind. They had lived in Egypt for 215 years, and this morning they were leaving forever. The Egyptians looked at them, tears in their eyes, filled with fear and shame. The slaves they despised were actually protected by God, and their god protected them unharmed.

Egyptian men would take gold and silver from their hands and give them to the slaves they had suffered so poorly, while Egyptian women would take off their necklaces and give them to slaves they had despised before, perhaps to atone for past sins or to bribe them so they wouldn’t be cursed.

That morning, over two million Israelites led their livestock and left Egypt under the rising sun. From then on, their history turned a new page, and since then, Israelis have commemorated God’s salvation every year on this day, continuing to this day.

However, the Israelites did not understand right or wrong; they were saved not because they were sinless, but because of God’s election, and more importantly, because by faith they slaughtered the lamb and were forgiven by God through the blood of the lamb. Moreover, even today, the Israelites still do not believe that God personally sent His only Son more than a thousand years later to become everyone’s atoning lamb and die on the cross.

But God chose the foolish in the world to shame the wise. And it is nothing special, in order to abolish those who are self-righteous, so that no one can boast before God. [1 Corinthians 1:27-29]

The darkness that had shrouded the area for three days and nights finally faded; sunlight drove away the black mist and shone into the palace. The Pharaoh sat inside the throne, staring at the two elders standing before him, his eyes full of contempt and burning with rage, but utterly helpless. He had just set aside his royal dignity and asked the two of them to pray to their god to remove the night. The sunlight finally returned, and his fearful heart calmed a little, but his eyes seemed to adapt to the night, and he preferred to sink into the shadowy throne. He remained silent, devising a countermeasure.

His spies had long since uncovered the origins of these brothers: the eighty-three-year-old brother was named Aaron, and the eighty-year-old brother was Moses, both from the Levitical family of Israel. Forty years ago, Moses killed an Egyptian official and has been on the run abroad.

A few months ago, he suddenly appeared before the palace, claiming that God wanted him to lead all Israelites out of Egypt. Thinking of this, Pharaoh’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked down on Moses with contempt once again.

Overestimating yourself, old fool! He was barely eloquent, yet dared to claim he had met a god on the mountain. Old fox, do you think I, Pharaoh, am a fool? You make up a story out of thin air to make me believe you? Your god? Where is he? He specifically assigned you, a fugitive, such a heavy responsibility? Look at you, like a monkey—your beard, eyebrows, and hair are all connected together like wild grass, and your face is as dark as bricks you fired. Wearing tattered clothes, smelling of sweat.

Now look at the group of slaves you want to rescue! Tsk, besides building houses with clay firing bricks and quarrying stone, what else do they do? Why did God save them? What could they possibly have left? Just looking at their skinny looks makes me sick. Maybe they’ll never know what bathing feels like. They might have more than a few bricks of dirt on them.

Haha. You rabble dare to claim that gods are watching over you? There is a God who will cherish and watch over you. Doesn’t he feel ashamed? I’m embarrassed for you! You filthy Hebrews, worse than pigs and dogs, have been stuck in Egypt for over two hundred years. Why hasn’t your God saved you from Egypt in the past two hundred years? Now I offer you free food and drink in exchange for your labor, and you can leave whenever you want?

Your God is so petty, sending you, Moses, an old man, to save you? If your god truly has the ability, why not send thousands of troops to fight me? Just sending you and your shepherd’s staff in your hand to ignore my gleaming military chariots and valiant troops, and swagger out of Egypt?

Thinking of this, Pharaoh almost burst out laughing, and the fear brought by the darkness over the past few days vanished. He looked at Moses again, just in time to meet Moses’ sharp gaze in return. Pharaoh was shaken by Moses, and he was forced to return to reality from his imagination. Thinking of reality, Pharaoh grew agitated, got up, and walked to the window of the palace, overlooking the land of Egypt outside the palace. The land outside the window is no longer what it once was, its appearance weathered and in utter ruins. If it weren’t for the magic in Moses’ hand, I would have killed him ten thousand times already, Pharaoh thought. But I dared not, for Moses prophesied in the name of his God, bringing disaster upon my land.

This Moses spoke to me and my ministers in the same tone every time: “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, so that they may serve me.” If you do not let them go, behold, the hand of the Lord will be heavily placed on you and your people. ” Thinking of the disasters that had occurred over the past few months, the Pharaoh felt as if he had fallen into a nightmare again, feeling like thorns were on his back, cold sweat pouring down his back. This Moses—he didn’t fear me; whatever he prophesied, he fulfilled.

He struck the Nile with his staff, and the water turned red like blood, foul and unbearable. He reached out to the river, and countless toads jumped out of the water, jumping into every Egyptian’s home and bed. He struck the dust on the ground with his staff, attracting mosquitoes everywhere, biting us until we all itched unbearably.

Every time disaster strikes, it feels like the end of the world; I can only ask them to stop it. But every time disaster passes, I realize it might just be a coincidence. But they actually had even more spells. After the mosquito disaster passes, the swarms return; their whining sounds like songs from hell, and the ground is covered with their eggs and filth. Then my people’s livestock died in groups, but not a single animal died in the land of Goshen, where the Hebrews were. Next, Moses prophesied that every Egyptian would develop a blistering sore. Just as expected! We were drenched in fluids, aching and itching, living worse than death.

Hailstorms struck one after another, destroying all the crops in my fields and killing all the livestock.

Seeing that I still had no intention of letting them go, Moses had already attracted a swarm of locusts, and Egypt was left without a trace of green. For the sake of royal interests, I gritted my teeth and refused to let them go, yet this Moses actually let darkness shroud me for three days and nights.

In the darkness, I was terrified and helpless, as if sinking into hell, and could only beg them to come again and lift the darkness. Now that light has arrived and the nine disasters they prophesied have finally passed, do they have any new solutions?

Definitely not. I can’t imagine any other tricks they might have. I endured humiliation and hardship, and finally fought them to the end. You want to leave? Wishful thinking! Pharaoh finally smiled, sneering at Moses, “You have caused me so much loss, and you still dream of leaving Egypt?” I’m warning you, leave me and go back to work! Be careful not to let me see you again.

The day I see you will be the day you die! Moses listened calmly, for God had already warned him in advance that Pharaoh would react this way.

He then recalled God’s prophecy: “I will bring another plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, and then he will make you leave this place.” Not only will He let you go, but He will also beg you, see you off, and ask you all to leave. Thinking of this, Moses said to Pharaoh, “As you say, I will never come to see you again!” But you and your servants will come to me, bow down to me, and say, ‘Please leave quickly and with your people!’ ’。 Only then did I leave. ”

After speaking, Moses was filled with anger, holding a wooden staff, and with Aaron in hand, turned and left, leaving the palace. Outside the palace, the sun was setting in the west, and a full moon had long since risen over the Nile in the east.
