MEDITATION
Exodus 10:3-6
3 So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: ‘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 territory.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.
6 They shall fill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians—which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

沉思
《出埃及记 10:3-6》
3 摩西、亚伦就进去见法老,对他说:“耶和华希伯来人的神这样说:‘你在我面前不肯自卑要到几时呢?容我的百姓去,好侍奉我。
4 你若不肯容我的百姓去,明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境内,
5 遮满地面,甚至看不见地,并且吃那冰雹所剩的和田间所长的一切树木。6 你的宫殿和你众臣仆的房屋,并一切埃及人的房屋,都要被蝗虫占满了。自从你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以来,直到今日,没有见过这样的灾。’”摩西就转身离开法老出去。
