YeHoVaH’s display of Power and Authority over nature, the elements, and the resources of Egypt may appear to the denominational disciples, or the un-discipled, to be singularly targeted and focused on Pharaoh and the Egyptians.

Pharaoh’s hardened heart caused him to continually refuse to listen to Moses and Aaron’s request to let the Children of Israel leave Egypt to serve YeHoVaH. As a consequence of Pharaoh not listening to YeHoVaH’s servants, Moses and Aaron, YeHoVaH turns His focus to Egypt’s economy.
Miracle after miracle performed by Moses and Aaron did little to cause or convince Pharaoh to release the Children of Israel so they could go and serve YeHoVaH.
The miracle of turning the waters of Egypt to blood, performed by Moses to demonstrate the power of YeHoVaH to Pharaoh, his magician’s, sorcerers, and wise men, does not persuade Pharaoh to let the Children of Israel go. Instead, Pharaoh hardened his heart. The back and forth with Pharaoh and Moses, in actuality, was a back and forth between Pharaoh and YeHoVaH. In some instances, YeHoVaH hardened Pharaoh’s heart, but in other instances Pharaoh was unyielding and hardened his own heart.
Moses, as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron, as Moses’ prophet, were instructed by YeHoVaH to perform miracles before Pharaoh. The miracles demonstrated the power of the Most High in the sight of Pharaoh, his magician’s, sorcerers, and wise men.
Egypt was a land where its society and people worshiped many gods and was ruled by a king who surrounded himself with magicians, sorcerers, and wise men. It was to this land that YeHoVaH designated Moses as a god and his brother Aaron a prophet. If in fact Pharaoh, king of Egypt, was considered to be a god, as stated by many, YeHoVaH elevated Moses to be his equal.
“The back-and-forth saga between Moses, Pharaoh, YeHoVaH, and the Children of Israel is interrupted by Moses reflecting on his family tree. Moses focuses on Israel’s first, second, and third sons born of Leah, the older sister of Rachel, Israel’s favorite wife. What are Moses’ reasons for only focusing on three of Israel and Leah’s sons and not the rest of the sons of Israel?
Afflicted, heavily burdened, and realizing they are in trouble, the Officers of the Children of Israel direct their grievances toward Moses and Aaron. Then Moses and Aaron return to YeHoVaH to ask why He had brought trouble on the people.
The elders of Israel believed, bowed their heads, and worshipped upon hearing the news brought to them by Moses and Aaron. Truly, YeHoVaH had looked upon their afflictions!
