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.
17 As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go.
18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now.

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.
