What happensPermalink
When Moses threatens locusts, Pharaoh tries to send just the Israelite men away, but Moses refuses, and God sends the plague. The locusts eat up everything the hail left behind. The plague of darkness covers Egypt, but not Israel.
Why it mattersPermalink
God does not claim men only, but every person who is His, and all their possessions and resources, too. He will leave not the least of these behind in Egypt or anywhere else.
Key versePermalink
Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the Lord.”
