2. Exodus 9 • Exodus 9:1-2 • 1 Then Adonai said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me. • 2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,

3. Exodus 9:3-4 • 3 behold, the hand of Adonai is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence. • 4 Adonai will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”

4. Exodus 9:5-7 • 5 Adonai appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow Adonai shall do this thing in the land.” • 6 Adonai did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died. • 7 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.

5. Exodus 9:8-9 • 8 Adonai said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. • 9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking out with boils on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”

6. Exodus 9:10-12 • 10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became a boil breaking out with boils on man and on animal. • 11 The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians. • 12 Adonai hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

7. Exodus 9:13-14 • 13 Adonai said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me. • 14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

8. Exodus 9:15-17 • 15 For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth; • 16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth; • 17 as you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.

9. Exodus 9:18-19 • 18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now. • 19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.”’”

10. Exodus 9:20-22 • 20 Those who feared the word of Adonai among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses. • 21 Whoever didn’t respect the word of Adonai left his servants and his livestock in the field. • 22 Adonai said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”

11. Exodus 9:23-24 • 23 Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and Adonai sent thunder, hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth. Adonai rained hail on the land of Egypt. • 24 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

12. Exodus 9:25-27 • 25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. • 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail. • 27 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Adonai is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

13. Exodus 9:28-29 • 28 Pray to Adonai; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” • 29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to Adonai. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Adonai’s.

14. Exodus 9:30-33 • 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear Adonai God.” • 31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom. • 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.

15. Exodus 9:33-35 • 33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to Adonai; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth. • 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

16. Exodus 9:35 • 35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Adonai had spoken through Moses.

17. Exodus 10 • Exodus 10:1-2 • 1 Adonai said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in their midst, • 2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Adonai.”

18. Exodus 10:3-4 • 3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. • 4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

19. Exodus 10:5-6 • 5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

20. 6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

21. Exodus 10:7-8 • 7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Adonai, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?” • 8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve Adonai your God; but who are those who will go?”

22. Exodus 10:9-10 • 9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Adonai.” • 10 He said to them, “Adonai be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

23. Exodus 10:11-12 • 11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Adonai; for that is what you desire!” They were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. • 12 Adonai said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”

24. Exodus 10:13-14 • 13 Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Adonai brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. • 14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

25. Exodus 10:15 • 15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

26. Exodus 10:16-18 • 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Adonai your God, and against you. • 17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Adonai your God, that he may also take away from me this death.” • 18 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Adonai.

27. Exodus 10:19-20 • 19 Adonai turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt. • 20 But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.

28. Exodus 10:21-22 • 21 Adonai said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.” • 22 Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

29. Exodus 10:23-24 • 23 They didn’t see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. • 24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Adonai. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”

30. Exodus 10:25-26 • 25 Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Adonai our God. • 26 Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Adonai our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Adonai, until we come there.”

31. Exodus 10:27-29 • 27 But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go. • 28 Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!” • 29 Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”

32. 1 Corinthians 13 • 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 • 1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. • 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

33. 1 Corinthians 13:3-5 • 3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing. • 4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, • 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

34. 1 Corinthians 13:6-8 • 6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; • 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. • 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

35. 1 Corinthians 13:9-11 • 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; • 10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. • 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

36. 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 • 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. • 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

37. 1 Corinthians 14 • 1 Corinthians 14:1-3 • 1 Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. • 2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. • 3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

38. 1 Corinthians 14:4-5 • 4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. • 5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

39. 1 Corinthians 14:6-7 • 6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching? • 7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

40. 1 Corinthians 14:8-9 • 8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war? • 9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

41. 1 Corinthians 14:10-11 • 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning. • 11 If then I don’t know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

42. 1 Corinthians 14:12-14 • 12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly. • 13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret. • 14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

43. 1 Corinthians 14:15-16 • 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. • 16 Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

44. 1 Corinthians 14:17-19 • 17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up. • 18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all. • 19 However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

45. 1 Corinthians 14:20-21 • 20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature. • 21 In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord.”

46. 1 Corinthians 14:22-23 • 22 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe. • 23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

47. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25 • 24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all. • 25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

48. 1 Corinthians 14:26-27 • 26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up. • 27 If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

49. 1 Corinthians 14:28-30 • 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God. • 29 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern. • 30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

50. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33 • 31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted. • 32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, • 33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,
