Notes

At least one person learned from the plagues and applied it to this crisis of faith. Moses did not know what God would do, but he made one of the great statements of faith in the Bible. Moses expressed his confidence in God. It was not the Lord who would fail, but the Egyptians.

Pharaoh and his officials did not truly repent. Once the immediate fear faded, they focused on their own interests and they determined to recapture their slave labor.
