Exodus 11 · Grade 4
God's Patience and Judgment
Read and Think
God had warned Pharaoh again and again through nine plagues. God is patient, but there comes a time when judgment falls on those who keep refusing Him.
Pharaoh had ordered Israel's baby boys thrown into the Nile. Now judgment would come on Egypt's firstborn. God is just, and He sees every wrong.
God promised to protect His people and make a distinction between them and Egypt. Israel would leave Egypt with silver and gold, just as God promised Abraham they would leave with great possessions (Genesis 15:14).
