Exodus 8
Exodus 8:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
-
The Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him =
Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy
borders with frogs:
-
3rd time = if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy
borders with frogs
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall
go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and
into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and
into thy kneading troughs:
4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and
upon all thy servants.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with
thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and
cause frogs
to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came
up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon
the land of Egypt.

8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the Lord, that he
may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people
go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and
for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy
houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that
thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy
servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord
because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the
frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and
hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod,
and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice
throughout all the land of Egypt.
-
4th time = Aaron, Stretch out thy rod,
and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice
throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the
dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of
the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but
they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
-
Notice = the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring
forth lice, but
they could not
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had
said.
20 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before
Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the
Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and
into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of
flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
-
5th time = if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies
22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell,
that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest
know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people:
to morrow shall this sign be.
24 And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house
of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the
land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to
your God in the land.
26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone
us?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall command us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord your
God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the Lord that
the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting
the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord.
31 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and he
removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people; there remained not one.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the
people go.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
