๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: The 10th punishment is about to fall on Egypt. Moses gives Pharaoh, king of Egypt, his last warning. The king must make his final decision. Pharaoh and his leaders will soon make a decision that will cause the life or death of many people. Pharaoh's decision will change the lives of everyone Egypt forever. Pharaoh's thoughts and feelings about the living God of Israel will decide his future and that of every Egyptian.

Sad to say, we don't always want to do what is right. We know what is right, but we refuse to do it. In the story about how God helped Israel escape from Egypt, one king refused to obey God. The king's decision hurt many people and destroyed his country.

๐๐๐ (๐๐ฑ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐:๐-๐๐). Amos was a prophet or special messenger from God. Amos said, "๐โ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐ท ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐กโ๐๐๐, โ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐ก๐๐๐ โ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐ , ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐โ๐๐ก๐ " (Amos 3:7, ERV).
โ God told His prophet Moses what will happen next for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Moses gave Pharaoh a strong warning. God was going to punish Pharaoh's pride and other sins. These sins included Pharaoh's worship of false gods. Pharaoh also hurt God's people and made them his slaves. All of the king's sins caused God to punish Egypt.

โ God gave Egypt time: ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ (Exodus 10:22, 23). During this time, God wanted the Egyptians to think about things that happened and what they meant. God gave the Egyptians a final warning. The warning was clear. God gave the Egyptians a final chance to do the right thing.
โ But Exodus 11:8 says that "Moses was very angry when he left Pharaoh". ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐? Maybe because he knew that the 10th punishment would cause a terrible disaster in the lives of many innocent people. All of these things happened because Pharaoh was so stubborn.
โ Ten is an important number in the Bible. Ten shows us something that is complete, full, or perfect. (๐โ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ก ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐บ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ค.) ๐โ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐ฆ๐๐ก ๐ โ๐๐ค ๐บ๐๐'๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐ธ๐๐ฆ๐๐ก'๐ ๐ ๐๐.
โ God is the Judge. He hates pride. He also hates when people aren't fair. God hates when people are selfish, mean, or hurt other people. God feels love and pity on people who suffer. God will punish evil. God's work as Judge shows us His love.
โ But "the Lord has told you what is good. He has told you what he wants from you: Do what is right to other people. Love being kind to others. And live humbly [with no pride in your heart], trusting your God" Micah 6:8.

โ God gives Moses and Aaron surprising orders. God tells them how to celebrate the Passover. The Passover was the time when God killed in one night the Egyptians' sons who were born first and saved His people from this punishment. So, God's orders are about worship.
โ The word "๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ" is a combination of two words: "๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ" and "๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ," because the punishment "๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ" the homes of the Israelites that were marked with the lamb's blood.

โ On the 14th, two elements played a crucial role in the ceremony: ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ.
โ They were to remove yeast from their homes and bake bread without it (unleavened bread). Since the departure was imminent, they would not have yeast during its initial stages (Ex. 12:17-20).
โ This yeast is a symbol of sin, and unleavened bread symbolizes new life in Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 5:6-8; 2 Cor. 5:17).
โ Blood was the salvific element. It represented Jesus' bloodโwhich He shed on the crossโso that, at the Judgment, God would "pass over" our condemnation (1 John 1:7; 2:1-2).
โ The hyssop with which the blood was to be sprinkled (Ex. 12:22) is a symbol of the purification of sin (Ps. 51:7).
โ The bread with no yeast is a word picture for the Savior who did not sin. Jesus gave up His life for us. The hyssop was a word picture for God's loving forgiveness that makes us clean from all sin Psalm 51:7. So, the Passover shows us the saving work of Jesus.

โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ (๐๐ฑ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐:๐๐-๐๐). The writer of the Psalms explains how our children can know about God and His loving care: "Parents will tell their children what you have done. They will retell [tell again] your mighty acts" (Psalm 145:4). One family should talk to another family about God, the wonderful things He did, and His teachings. In this way, parents will teach their
children about Bible truth.

โ Parents were the first teachers in Israel. God commanded the parents to tell the story of the Exodus to their children. The Exodus was the time when God led His people out of slavery in Egypt. God wanted the parents to talk about the Exodus as their own experience, and not just as something that happened in the past. When the parents celebrated the Exodus, they lived their history again.
โ The story of liberation was to be explained in detail, and in the first person (Dt. 26:5-9).
โ This contains a very special lesson for us. We must pass on our faith to our children. We must tell them about what God has done, not only in history, but also in our own lives. We must bow down before them and worship (Ex. 12:27).

โ The last punishment fell on the Egyptians' sons who were born first. This punishment showed God's anger against all the gods of Egypt and the families who worshiped these false gods. As we saw with the earlier punishments, these false gods couldn't save the Egyptians. The 10th punishment showed how useless the gods of the Egyptians really were. This final punishment brought the worst suffering on the Egyptians.

โ But all of these gods had no power. Only the living Lord had power.
โ Exodus 1 tells us that the Egyptians killed the newborn sons of Israel on Pharaoh's command. Pharaoh ordered the babies to be killed to weaken the Israelites and to fill them with shame. Now God punishes all the Egyptians. He takes their first-born sons. God will allow us to suffer the same things we do to cause other people to suffer. Our decisions and behavior change other people's lives, for good or evil. The sad truth is that when we do wrong, we aren't the only ones who suffer. Sometimes many other people, including innocent people, will suffer, too. That is the sad truth about sin.

โThey were required to separate themselves and their children from the Egyptians, and gather them into their own houses, for if any of the Israelites were found in the houses of the Egyptians, they would fall by the hand of the destroying angel. They were also directed to keep the feast of the passover for an ordinance, that when their children should inquire what such service meant, they should relate to them their wonderful preservation in Egypt. That when the destroying angel went forth in the night to slay the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast, he passed over their houses, and not one of the Hebrews was slain that had the token of blood upon their door-posts. [โฆ] They [some Egyptians] entreated to be permitted to come to the houses of the Israelites with their families, upon that fearful night when the angel of God should slay the first-born of the Egyptians. They were convinced that their gods whom they had worshiped were without knowledge, and had no power to save or to destroy. The Israelites welcomed the believing Egyptians to their housesโ
