MEDITATION
Exodus 10:16-20
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
17 Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that He may take away from me this death only.”
18 So he went out from Pharaoh and entreated the LORD.
19 And the LORD turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

沉思
《出埃及记 10：16-20》
16于是法老急忙召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“我得罪耶和华你们的神，又得罪了你们。
17现在求你，只这一次，饶恕我的罪，求耶和华你们的神，使我脱离这一次的死亡。”
18摩西就离开法老去求耶和华。
19耶和华转了极大的西风，把蝗虫刮起，吹入红海，在埃及的四境连一个也没有留下。20但耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人去。
