11 And the amagicians could not stand before Moses because of the bboils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he adid not heed them, just bas the Lord had spoken to Moses.
The Seventh Plague: Hail
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may bserve Me,
14 for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, athat you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.
15 Now if I had astretched out My hand and struck you and your people with bpestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth.
16 But indeed for athis purpose I have raised you up, that I may bshow My power in you, and that My cname may be declared in all the earth.

Exodus
Exodus
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
