CHAPTER 11-12

Now the LORD had said to Moses,
“I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”

So Moses said to Pharaoh, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.’ ” Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, “Tell the whole community of Israel that each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household. All the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU.”

"And There Was a Cry in Egypt"

At midnight the LORD struck down ALL THE FIRSTBORN IN EGYPT, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.

Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

They were saved by the blood of the lamb!..................

[Hebrews 11:6]

AMEN, brother. Preach it!

[crusty old prospector]

Excellent.

Thank you so much for the ping.

This section on the blood on the doorposts is the BEST EVER.

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, He is.

#2. No Jew would allow a slaughtered animal to lay in its own blood.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As I rounded up the images showing the door, I considered how I would have done it back then: I would have applied every last bit of my lamb’s blood to the posts and lintel.

They were saved by the blood of the lamb!..................

An example of the foreshadowing I'd mentioned earlier.

[Hebrews 11:6]

OK

[Captain Compassion]

Wonderful as always.

Mary-Lou! Working my way to the J-thread.

Great compilation. I am fascinated by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the great Dutch painter of Romanticism. In composition, facial expressions, colors, this painting is striking. The sadness, anger, teary eyes on the Pharaoh’ s face, his hand clenching a bunch of flowers and the body rigid against the pillar; the devastated mother crying over the dead body of the child; Aaron and Moses seen in the upper right of the painting, having come again to ask for the release of “my people”; the scene under the light of the candles while Moses and Aaron are standing in the light of the moon.... powerful composition.

[etabeta]

Here is a better quality of the painting.
