“Then the Lord said to Moses… ‘I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue [Israel], and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.’ When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching…

Psalm 64
“Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear….
Exodus 13
This chapter cover three main things in detail. They’re all quite important to God’s character so I’ll try to cover them all. Topic 1: The Feast of Unleavened BreadGod gave specific instructions about the annual Feast of Unleavened bread (v3-10 not quoted). Even though the symbolism wasn’t clarified at this point, other passages in scripture…
Psalm 63
“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my…

Exodus 11
“Now the Lord had said to Moses, ‘I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.’ So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn…
Psalm 61
“Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me…
Exodus 10
This is another dense chapter and I will need to leave out many of the details, so please feel free to read it for yourself. “Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind ..[which].. brought the locusts. The locusts… settled on the whole country of Egypt,…
Psalm 60
“O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. Who will…
