SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:25
Y Moisés respondió: Tú también nos darás en nuestras manos sacrificios y holocaustos, que sacrifiquemos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-29 - The plague of darkness brought upon Egypt was a dreadful plague. It wa darkness which might be felt, so thick were the fogs. It astonished an terrified. It continued three days; six nights in one; so long the mos lightsome palaces were dungeons. Now Pharaoh had time to consider, i he would have improved it. Spiritual darkness is spiritual bondage while Satan blinds men's eyes that they see not, he binds their hand and feet, that they work not for God, nor move toward heaven. They sin in darkness. It was righteous with God thus to punish. The blindness of their minds brought upon them this darkness of the air; never was min so blinded as Pharaoh's, never was air so darkened as Egypt. Let u dread the consequences of sin; if three days of darkness were s dreadful, what will everlasting darkness be? The children of Israel, a the same time, had light in their dwellings. We must not think we shar in common mercies as a matter of course, and therefore that we owe n thanks to God for them. It shows the particular favour he bears to his people. Wherever there is an Israelite indeed, though in this dar world, there is light, there is a child of light. When God made thi difference between the Israelites and the Egyptians, who would not have preferred the poor cottage of an Israelite to the fine palace of a Egyptian? There is a real difference between the house of the wicked which is under a curse, and the habitation of the just, which i blessed. Pharaoh renewed the treaty with Moses and Aaron, and consente they should take their little ones, but would have their cattle left It is common for sinners to bargain with God Almighty; thus they try to mock him, but they deceive themselves. The terms of reconciliation with God are so fixed, that though men dispute them ever so long, the cannot possibly alter them, or bring them lower. We must come to the demand of God's will; we cannot expect he should condescend to the terms our lusts would make. With ourselves and our children, we mus devote all our worldly possessions to the service of God; we know no what use he will make of any part of what we have. Pharaoh broke of the conference abruptly, and resolved to treat no more. Had he forgotten how often he had sent for Moses to ease him of his plagues and must he now be bid to come no more? Vain malice! to threaten his with death, who was armed with such power! What will not hardness of heart, and contempt of God's word and commandments, bring men to! Afte this, Moses came no more till he was sent for. When men drive God' word from them, he justly gives them up to their own delusions __________________________________________________________________
