2014 BSF "The Life of Moses" Lesson 5, Q10~Q12

FIFTH DAY: Read Exodus 9:13-10:29.
Q10. What is new or different in each of the seventh, eighth and ninth plagues?
There is new that some of the Egyptians start to fear and believe in God in the 7th plague. Even the magicians urged Pharaoh to let the Israelites go in the 8th plague. One different is Pharaoh start to bargain before the locusts plague said, “only the men go”.  Pharaoh said, “Even your women and children may go with you” in the 9th plague.
Q11.
a. Describe the bargain Pharaoh was trying to make with Moses.
The bargain Pharaoh was trying to make with Moses about not to let all people or livestock go, so the Israelites must turn back later.
b. What bargains do people try to make with God?
We often bargain with God for our own earthly benefit.

Q12. In Exodus 6:30 Moses showed a lack of confidence by saying “Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?” In Exodus 10:24-29 Moses is totally different. After went through 9 plagues God sent. Not only Moses himself the Israelites also believed that the Lord would surely deliver them out of Egypt. Moses’ faith increased so he answered Pharaoh firmly; “Just as you say” “I will never appear before you again.” It shows that he’s confident with what he says also his words became more wise and sharp.
