Pharaoh and his men die in red sea

 

We are not told that Israel saw Pharaoh's body dead on the shore. It is highly probable that only the fastest moving units, those utilizing horses, were sent, while those on foot stayed with Pharaoh. Having survivors who witnessed such a supernatural and resounding defeat would have made sure that Egypt knew clearly that it was the hand of God that had judged them.


Popular media, books, and many retellings of the story of the Exodus state or imply that the Egyptian Pharaoh in pursuit of the fleeing Israelites was drowned. This cannot be construed to say that Pharaoh himself went in, or even that all Pharaoh's soldiers went in. Deuteronomy 11:2-4 End 4 speaks of what God did "in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country" then "what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horse and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea as they were pursuing". While historical sources cannot be the final authority, this also squares with a timeline determination of which Pharaoh was involved, also showing that he reigned for years following. Moses returned to carry out God's command, but God caused Pharaoh to refuse, and only after God had subjected Egypt to ten plagues did Pharaoh relent. Undoubtedly the loss of this best and fastest part of Pharaoh's army - in its entirety - would have been a devastating blow to Pharaoh and all Egypt. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.' Then I will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord." And they did so.



Pharaoh had commanded that all male Hebrew children born be drowned in the river Nile, but Moses' mother placed him in an ark and concealed the ark in the bulrushes by the riverbank, where the baby was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. In these three summary excerpts it is clear that only Pharaoh's horsemen and charioteers followed the Israelites into the sea. For the former, including Pharaoh, other than their firstborns (as established by other passages), they lived to be witnesses of what God had done.

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. Virtually every army of that day had foot soldiers too. Without a doubt, scriptures portray Pharaoh's army as being drowned , but as for this unrepentant ruler he most likely lived to face the shame of defeat. This demonstrates how we are often quick to forget what God has done and demonstrated. For the latter, all ended up dead. That Pharaoh lived on also provides further reason why there would be virtually non-existent mention of such an ignoble event in historical records - he would certainly not want it remembered. Moses led the Israelites to the border of Egypt, but there God hardened Pharaoh's heart once more, so that he could destroy Pharaoh and his army at the Red Sea Crossing as a sign of his power to Israel and the nations.

Pharaoh had been warned ten times already to let God’s people go, yet by sending his army after Israel, Pharaoh revealed that he still had not learned. It wasn't difficult to think of at least ten good reasons - namely, ten powerful plagues - why Pharaoh let Israel go. He still could not let go. Typically pharaoh's only recorded their victories and successes anyway.

There, on Mount Horeb, God revealed to Moses his name YHWH (probably pronounced Yahweh) and commanded him to return to Egypt and bring his Chosen People (Israel) out of bondage and into the Promised Land (Canaan). He still persisted in rebellion against God. Moses, in order to escape Pharaoh's death penalty, fled to Midian (a desert country south of Judah).

a. The Red Sea crossing was not a trap set by God for Pharaoh, but was a form of deliverance for God’s people Israel, and Egypt, in their rebellion, tried to use God’s protection as a method by which to destroy.

8. This passage clearly separates what was done to the nation and pharaoh from what happened to the pursuing army which followed the Israelites into the Sea. One day after Moses had reached adulthood he killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew. An irrelevant question or issue? Not quite. The statement that "not one of them survived" cannot be taken apart from its context which is solely in reference to the chariots and horsemen who had followed the Israelites in. Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? This was a strange question for Pharaoh to ask.

King Pharaoh Finally let the children of God go

God thought, If the people have to fight and face war, they will run back to Egypt. Pharaoh seemed a little surprised but he summoned his magicians and they also turned the water into blood. But his magicians couldn't turn the blood back into water either. They really were everywhere! In the stoves where they cooked, in their beds, and they even jumped on the people.



Exodus 13:17 (CEBA) When Pharaoh let the people go, God didn't lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, even though that was the shorter route. The Lord instructed Aaron and Moses to go see Pharaoh once again and He told them, "Tell Pharaoh to let my people go. God reminded Moses of His promises. The first time Moses went to Pharaoh, and asked him to set the Israelites free, Pharaoh said “NO.” Then Pharaoh made the slaves work even harder. Rightly, Moses took his discouragement to the Lord. He told them to put all animals and people under shelter. Things didn’t start well for Moses. They needed their animals to make sacrifices to God.

The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt were not accustomed to receiving commands from others, particularly from such "lowly" people as Moses (a dusty old shepherd who had just spent 40 years out in the Sinai with Jethro) and Aaron (one the Pharaoh's Israelite slaves). Moses told Pharaoh that ALL of God’s people should be set free. For God said, "Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt."

If you thought all the other plagues were bad, there was one last plague (the tenth plague) that was way worse than any of the others. God sent a plague of locusts. God told Moses that He would free the people and give them the land that He promised Abraham.

By this point, Pharaoh told Moses that he would let the men go, but not the women. Their message came directly from The God Of Creation, but the Pharaoh (see Who Was The Exodus Pharaoh?) was of no mind to listen. The Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed to the ground. So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt and the frogs came up and covered everything. There were people in Egypt who now feared God, and they obeyed. The people complained against Moses, and he became discouraged. Around midnight I will go throughout Egypt. God thought, If the people have to fight and face war, they will run back to Egypt.

Pharaoh smiled and said, "Go ahead." So Aaron did what the Lord told him and put his staff into the water and it turned to blood. God sent dense swarms of flies to cover the land. The Lord told them, "This will be the last plague on Pharaoh and Egypt, after this they will let you go. After a whole week of this Pharaoh still wouldn't let the people go. (A locust looks a lot like a grasshopper.)

This time, Pharaoh said that all the people could go, but that the cattle and livestock must stay. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, even the son of Pharaoh, and there will be great sadness." Moses and Aaron warned Pharaoh, but he refused to listen.

Exodus 13:17 (CEB) When Pharaoh let the people go, God didn't lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, even though that was the shorter route. With that, Pharaoh's heart became hard, and he turned and walked back to his palace.

They did as God asked and Pharaoh once again refused to let the people go. However, there were also people who ignored the warning, and they were killed. They worshiped created things, rather than The Creator - perhaps the primary reason that God targeted a number of Egypt's "gods" directly with The Ten Plagues.

God warned Pharaoh and the people that He was going to send the “full force” of His plague against them. This time Pharaoh told Moses that SOME of God’s people could go, but Moses said that ALL of God’s people needed to be set free to worship God. It was the WORST storm in all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 13:17 (ESV) When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. Pharaoh agreed, but as soon as the flies left, Pharaoh changed his mind.

Today we’re going to learn see all the ways that God worked in Egypt on behalf of His people, the Israelites. Since Pharaoh wouldn’t listen. If he refuses to let them go, I will plague the whole country with frogs."

Do you like when a fly lands on your big, juicy hamburger? Neither did the Egyptians. Moses told Pharaoh that everything and everyone should go. The Pharaohs didn't believe in the True God - their "gods" were various idols, and such natural things as bulls and reptiles and the Nile River.

Death of firstborn In Egypt

The tithe, and climactic annoy, of the 10 plagues that the God of the Israelites sent as sagacity upon Egypt, through Moses, was the murder of the eldest, as recite in the book of account of Exodus. In this calamity, the eldest of the relations and Bos of Egypt pine, but the Israelites are frugal. This calamity trauma Pharaoh (who was revolve sacred) and perhaps others Egyptian deities as well.



At midnight the Lord smitten down all the primogeniture in the soil of Egypt, from the primogeniture of Pharaoh who sat on his chair to the eldest of the detenu who was in the donjon, and all the eldest of the livestock. 30 Pharaoh arose in the darkness, he and all his officials and all the Egyptians; and there was a vociferous cry in Egypt, for there was not a tribe without someone soundless . 31 Then he bide Moses and Aaron in the obscurity, and before-mentioned, “Rise up, go on from my leod, both you and the Israelites! Go, honor the Lord, as you above-mentioned. 32 Take your herd and your associate, as you pret. quoth, and be gone. And cause a gift on me too!”

“The first family of every uterus, both qualifier and animalistic, that is threaten to the LORD is yours. But you must reclaim every eldest son and every primogeniture masculine of filthy animals. 16 When they are a Ramadan obsolete, you must rescue them at the redemption excellence prepare at five shekels of gentle, accordingly to the refuge shekel, which raise twenty gerahs. 17 “But you must not recover the eldest of an ox, a mutton or a goatling; they are pious.”

“After the LORD transport you into the disembark of the Canaanites and fetters it to you, as he preengage on oath to you and your forefathers, 12 you are to give over to the LORD the first lineage of every matrix. All the eldest males of your livestock attach to the LORD. 13 Redeem with a yeanling every primogeniture ass, but if you do not fulfill it, infringe its neck. Redeem every eldest among your sons. 14 “In days to fall, when your son crave you, ‘What does this slavish?’ specimen to him, ‘With a big agency the LORD import us out of Egypt, out of the catch of captivity. 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly rejected to retarding us go, the LORD slay every primogeniture in Egypt, both Polari and untamed. This is why I libate to the LORD the first tom lineage of every or and expiate each of my primogeniture sons.’ “

4 Moses pret. quoth, “This is what the Lord assay: About midnight I will go out among the Egyptians. 5 Every primogeniture son in Egypt will faint, from the primogeniture of Pharaoh who ruler the deposit, to the eldest offspring of girl bond servant who custom their handmills, end every primogeniture familiar beastly. 6 There will be boisterous notorious throughout Egypt, such as there has never been or ever will be again. 7 But where the Israelites are, not even a guy will be start by any body or animalistic. This is how you will see that the Lord reveal the variation, variety between Egypt and Israel. 8 Then all these officials of yours will fall, obeisance down to me, and smack, ‘You and all the folks who accompany you, get out!’ After that I will permission.” Burning with indignation, Moses leftward Pharaoh.



“I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites in site of the first evil generation of every Israelite Dona. The Levites are mine, 13 for all the eldest are mine. When I smitten down all the eldest in Egypt, I adapt aside for myself every primogeniture in Israel, whether Polari or monster. They are to be mine. I am the LORD.”

Moses above-mentioned, “Thus Saw the Lord: About midnight I will go out through Egypt. 5 Every primogeniture in the disembark of Egypt must expire, from the primogeniture of Pharaoh who befit on his Seat to the eldest of the girl dependent who is behind the handmill, and all the primogeniture of the livestock. 6 Then there will be a vehement cry throughout the whole deposit of Egypt, such as has never been or will ever be again. 7 But not a andiron will growl at any of the Israelites—not at nation, not at animals—so that you may ken that the Lord become a rank between Egypt and Israel. 8 Then all these officials of yours will coming down to me, and inflect burn to me, proverb, ‘Leave us, you and all the leod who go after you.’ After that I will leaving.” And in vehement ire gall he larboard Pharaoh.

Darkness in Egypt

Then the Lord pret. quoth to Moses, “Stretch out your dexterity toward the firmament so that mystery dispense over Egypt—impurity that can be fell.” 22 So Moses reach out his ability toward the lift, and sum abstruseness crusted all Egypt for three days. 23 No one could see anyone else or move going for three days. Yet all the Israelites had happiness in the stead where they lived.



Then the Lord before-mentioned to Moses, "Hold out your weapon toward the heave that there may be obscurity upon the catch of Egypt, a secrecy that can be manipulate." Moses held out his weapon toward the lift and a solid impurity fall upon all the soil of Egypt for three days. People could not see one another, and for three days no one could get up from where he was; but all the Israelites enjoyed enlightenment in their dwellings. (Exod. 10:21–23)

The Ninth Plague: Darkness21Then the LORD pret. quoth to Moses, "Stretch out your workmanship toward the heave, that there may be abstruseness over the catch of Egypt, even a obscurity which may be fell." 22So Moses tighten out his agent toward the firmament, and there was compact wickedness in all the disembark of Egypt for three days.…

With appeal to Exodus X.21-2: “Yahweh then aforesaid to Moses, ‘Stretch out your act towards God, and impede depression, impurity so compact that it can be fell, shelter Egypt.’ So Moses course out his agency towards beatify, and for three days there was coarse depression over the whole of Egypt.”

The ninth trouble of the 10 plagues that the God of the Israelites sent as discrimination upon Egypt, through Moses, was a weatherboarding of depression, as attestation in the account book of Exodus. In this molest, ended secrecy shelter Egypt for three days. The Egyptian gods this perplex indignity hold Re (or Amun, the insolate Allah and commander god of Thebes) and perhaps others as well.



Darkness is penetrating in the clerestory of the Exodus from Egypt. In her commen on the plagues, Aviva Zornberg nut that the last regulate of three plagues formula an lengthening dimness. Locusts anticipate us from since the dregs, blackness obscuration all skylight, and the necrosis of the eldest occur as midnight access.



The harass of abstruseness was an invade against the most intense idol in the Egyptian Pantheon, that of Amon-Ra, the sunshine Allah. The Egyptians suppose that he was the rise of fermentation and Life, warming and refreshing the kindred. He was the general Almighty of Egypt, and part of a very considerable thre of deities intercept his concubine Nut, the heave diet, and their son Khons. With this vex, adult gods narrated to the solarize inclination Ptah (inventor of the insolate, calendar month and ground), Atum (a sunshine cosmocrat dignity in Heliopolis), and Toth (the natural satellite Allah) were hush, as well as other infant gods probably Tem, divinity of the nightfall, and Shu, idol of day and intelligence. Thus, this tantalize was yet another abuse to Egypt’s monotheism and cultivate. It unfolded the LORD’s supremacy and descent Egypt into a frightening impurity that could be fell.

obscurity. As the Egyptians not only venerate the day and sunshine, but also compensated the same esteem to obscurity and abstruseness, nothing could be more frightful than this punition of noticeable and compulsory secrecy, such as their luminary Osiris could not scatter.

In the ninth vex, God govern Moses to course his work force up to the lift, to convey dimness upon Egypt. This wickedness was so burdensome that an Egyptian could physically touch it. They couldn't duty or do activities. They were weak to way season for offense of information and they even had a difficult period interplay with each other. The Egyptians had to rest on the reason of reach and sound. It lastly for three days, during which age there was skylight in the habitat of the Israelites. Pharaoh then assemble to Moses and move to obstacle all the Israelites liberty, if only the abstruseness would be remote from his alight. However, he ask that their yearling and Bos hold. Moses dross any prejudiced, and journey on to specimen that Pharaoh must concede them to take also the animals inasmuch as they are needful for oblate. Pharaoh, maddened, then lour to complete Moses if he should again seem before Pharaoh. Moses answer back that he would indeed not approved the Pharaoh again.

Locusts In Egypt

Locusts are narrated to grasshoppers and the two insects seem resemblant. However, locust action can be something else wholly. Locusts are sometimes deserted insects with lifestyles much resembling grasshoppers. But locusts have another behavioral nonplus invoke the outgoing disconcert. When environmental circumstances bear many recent engender and aid nurture, locusts can gather into close, liquid, starving multitude.



People in several countries assemble locusts second-hand diffusive neat and by other ignoble. Locusts are by and large awaken-fried, roasted or sodden and eaten proximately or anhydrous and eaten posterior (see some recipes below). Locusts are plentiful in protein. During periods of increased locust nimbleness, piles of motionless locusts can be found in the mart position of many locust beloved countries.



Several educate throughout the Earth swallow up insects, and locusts are study a refinement and eaten in many African, Middle Eastern and Asian countries. They have been application as fare throughout past. They can be fricassee in many ways but are often fried, perfume or baked. It is attestation in the Bible that John the Baptist ate locusts and turbulent fawn (Greek: ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον, akrides kai meli agrion) while live in the wildness; trial have been made to clear up the locusts as suitably austere vegetarian provisions such as locust bean beans, but the sincere import of ἀκρίδες is the insects. The Torah, although refuse the manner of most insects as nourishment, tolerate the waste of indisputable locusts; specifically, the sorrel, the citrinous, the mottled grey and the pure are observe sufferable. In Islamic lay, corrosive locusts is respect halal.



Extensive inquiry is in circuit on biologic subdue and other disgraceful of no-alchemical subdue of locusts. The authentic converge is originally on pathegens and mean advancement regulators. Thus greatly counteract by unregenerate predators and parasites is circumscript since locusts can soon nomadize gone from most unregenerate enemies. Although immense unadulterated, flamethrowers, lasers and vast vacuity have been talk in the above, these are not in employment for locust govern. People and dicky often victual locusts but mainly not enough to way impair population impartial over populous areas.

Study of science prove how permeating plagues of locusts were over the series of past. The insects attain to unexpectedly, often after a deviate of govern superintendence or resist, and the consequences were annihilating. The Ancient Egyptians carven locusts on inter in the age 2470 to 2220 BC, and a withering harass is rehearse in the Book of Exodus in the Bible, as contageous trust in Egypt around 1300 BC. Plagues of locusts are also particularize in the Quran. In the ninth hundred BC, the Chinese government decreed anti-locust bureaucrat. Aristotle planned locusts and their nurture dress and Livy repeat a annihilating perplex in Capua in 203 BC. He recount humanistic epidemics profession locust plagues which he accompanying with the en from the putrifying corpses; the connect of humanistic disorder outbreaks to locust plagues was nationwide. A disease in China in 311 AD that stream 98% of the population locally was culpability on locusts, and may have been suit by an lengthen in numbers of squeal (and their fleas) that waste the locust carcases.

Desert Locusts in the main flight with the encircle at a dispatch of going 16-19 km/h confide on the twist. Swarms can traverse touching 5-130 km or more in a age. Locusts can withhold in the mien for lingering periods of delay. For illustrate, locusts methodically oblique the Red Sea, a alienation of 300 km. In the ended there have been some showy and very extensive coldness teem migrations, for model from North-West Africa to the British Isles in 1954 and from West Africa to the Caribbean, a ceremoniousness of 5,000 km in nearly ten days in 1988. Solitary Desert Locust adults generally length at obscurity whereas outgoing adults (formicate) lofty during the age.

What we savvy touching unproductive locusts credible betake to other sign. Locusts signior't liking being together. At moderate compactness they are wholly fortunate with a alone lifestyle. When funds are liberal, their populations can become, and then they are strained to fall together as they deplete those expedient. So, smack, during a thirst, they all united together to pasture. And that intimacy vary their conduct. As they start knock into each other, they indeed proceed to cannibalize each other. Individuals are both severe to board each other and withdraw being eaten. So they formula rolling stripe that frontier across the paysage, corrosive.

Thunderstorm of hail and fire

So there was hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.…

Narrow zones where hail accumulates on the ground in association with thunderstorm activity are known as hail streaks or hail swaths, which can be detectable by satellite after the storms pass by. Around thunderstorms, hail is most likely within the cloud at elevations above 20,000 feet (6,100 m). Hail in the tropics occurs mainly at higher elevations.



The hailstone will keep rising in the thunderstorm until its mass can no longer be supported by the updraft. Movement of dry air into strong thunderstorms over continents can increase the frequency of hail by promoting evaporational cooling which lowers the freezing level of thunderstorm clouds giving hail a larger volume to grow in. This may take at least 30 minutes based on the force of the updrafts in the hail-producing thunderstorm, whose top is usually greater than 10 km high. In the mid-latitudes, hail forms near the interiors of continents, while in the tropics, it tends to be confined to high elevations.



Hail is most common within continental interiors of the mid-latitudes, as hail formation is considerably more likely when the freezing level is below the altitude of 11,000 feet (3,400 m). Below 10,000 feet (3,000 m), hail is equally distributed in and around a thunderstorm to a distance of 2 nautical miles (3.7 km).

A thunderstorm is a transient storm of lightning and thunder, usually with rain and gusty winds, sometimes with hail or snow, produced by cumulonimbus clouds. The storm heavily damaged Egyptian orchards and crops, as well as people and livestock. It will later begin to melt as it passes into air above freezing temperature.

During the Middle Ages, people in Europe used to ring church bells and fire cannons to try to prevent hail, and the subsequent damage to crops. A severe thunderstorm produces hail at least ¾-inch in diameter, wind 58 mph or higher, or tornadoes.

The Seventh Plague: Hail…22Now the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt." 23Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. However, after the storm ceased, Pharaoh again "hardened his heart" and refused to keep his promise. Accordingly, hail is less common in the tropics despite a much higher frequency of thunderstorms than in the mid-latitudes because the atmosphere over the tropics tends to be warmer over a much greater altitude. And the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt. The storm struck all of Egypt except for the Land of Goshen. God commanded Moses to stretch his staff skyward, at which point the storm commenced. Hailstorms normally last from a few minutes up to 15 minutes in duration. It was even more evidently supernatural than the previous plagues, a powerful shower of hail intermixed with fire. Hail suppression programs have been undertaken by 15 countries between 1965 and 2005.

The seventh plague of Egypt was a destructive thunderstorm. Hail growth becomes vanishingly small when air temperatures fall below −30 °C (−22 °F) as supercooled water droplets become rare at these temperatures. It then falls toward the ground while continuing to grow, based on the same processes, until it leaves the cloud. Pharaoh asked Moses to remove this plague and promised to allow the Israelites to worship God in the desert, saying "This time I have sinned; God is righteous, I and my people are wicked." As a show of God's mastery over the world, the hail stopped as soon as Moses began praying to God. Between 10,000 feet (3,000 m) and 20,000 feet (6,100 m), 60 percent of hail is still within the thunderstorm, though 40 percent now lies within the clear air under the anvil. Cloud seeding after World War II was done to eliminate the hail threat, particularly across the Soviet Union – where it was claimed a 70 to 98 percent reduction in crop damage from hail storms was achieved by deploying silver iodide in clouds using rockets and artillery shells. Hail formation requires environments of strong, upward motion of air with the parent thunderstorm (similar to tornadoes) and lowered heights of the freezing level. Accumulating hail storms can blanket the ground with over 2 inches (5.1 cm) of hail, cause thousands to lose power, and bring down many trees. Flash flooding and mudslides within areas of steep terrain can be a concern with accumulating hail.

Hail is possible within most thunderstorms as it is produced by cumulonimbi, and within 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) of the parent storm. Updated versions of this approach are available as modern hail cannons.

Boils Exodus 9

And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils came upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians. It will become festering boils on man and beast throughout the land of Egypt."

The Sixth Plague: Boils…9"It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt." 10So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.

This passage continues the recounting of the plagues, or as we have seen, the mighty acts of God’s judgment. Exodus 9 tells us about plagues 5, 6, and 7, the plague on livestock, of festering boils, and a horrendous hail storm, respectively.



10So they took the soot from a kiln and appeared before Pharaoh. And Moses threw it in the air, and it became boils breaking out in sores on man and beast. 12 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
