Beginning on the next day, plague was rife throughout the land of Egypt, and reports from the provinces reached Pharaoh, who sent to inspect them and found that all the cattle of the Egyptians had been plagued, but the animals of the Israelites were unharmed.

The inspectors came back to report what had happened to Pharaoh, who, though a little timid in his heart, was stubborn enough to spare the Israelites.

After waiting for a while, Moses found that Pharaoh had not changed his mind and let the Israelites leave Egypt, and he asked in the air, "My master, what shall I do next?" ”

Yang Rui's voice came from the sky, saying, "Go and bring a few handfuls of ashes to the Pharaoh and tell him that if you sprinkle them on Egyptians or livestock, they will produce pus. ”

Moses came to Pharaoh as Yang Rui had instructed him to do, and he sprinkled the ashes everywhere, and all the Egyptians who were stained with the ashes were sick with abscesses.

Pharaoh watched Moses cast a spell in front of him, and his heart was filled with resentment, and he pointed to Moses and asked, "Won't you change your request?" ”

Moses said calmly, "I am not demanding, I just want to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into our new homeland." ”

Pharaoh stubbornly said, "No Israelite can leave Egypt until the work of my mausoleum is completed." ”

Moses asked, "Honorable Pharaoh, why are you doing this?" ”

Pharaoh said coldly, "Since you have a spell and may summon the gods to do things for you, why don't you see us Egyptians slaughtered?" ”

Moses said, "Since you will not spare us Israelites, then I will bring all the calamities upon you and the Egyptians." Also, if God wants to kill all of you Egyptians, it's easy. But God is doing this to let you know His omnipotence! ”

At this point, Moses looked at Pharaoh with a smile and said, "God is with me, and you are still sending money to the Israelites, and you will not send them to go?" Tomorrow, hail will fall all over Egypt, the most it has not seen since the founding of Egypt. It will kill all the farmers and cattle in the fields throughout Egypt. ”

The Pharaoh roared, "I will never give in, but you can cast your magic spells, the great Pharaoh will never give in to the noble head!" ”

Moses stopped talking and turned and left the palace.

In the streets, Moses shouted as he walked: "Tomorrow there will be a rare hailstorm, and everyone who has brought their cattle into their houses will be spared the calamity." ”

Many Egyptians listened to Moses and brought back their cattle from the fields, but a significant number of Egyptians scoffed at Moses' words.

But the next morning, the sky turned black, the wind blew up, and huge hailstones fell from the sky, destroying all the crops on the ground, and the animals that had not been brought home were also stoned to death in the fields.

But the Israelites were the only ones whose farmland and livestock were unharmed.

Pharaoh gave in, summoned Moses and said, "These calamities have been enough, and I let you Israelites leave Egypt and ask you not to cast any more witches." ”

Moses said seriously, "This is not a demon, this is a miracle." ”

Pharaoh waved his hand and said, "Say whatever you want, as long as the calamity stops, you can do whatever you want." ”

Moses came outside the city and prayed to the sky, and sure enough, the wind stopped, and the black clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the warm sun.

At this time, Yang Rui came to Moses and said, "You pray that this calamity will stop, but Pharaoh did not really let you go this time!" You see, the gates of Memphis were still closed, and the Israelites could not leave. ”

Moses asked, "My master, what shall I do?" ”

Yang Rui said: "The punishment of Egypt is not over, you go to Pharaoh again and tell him to let you lead the Israelites out of Egypt." ”

This time, Moses was a little angry when he saw Pharaoh, and he asked Pharaoh: "How long will you be so treacherous?" If you don't let us Israelites leave Egypt, tomorrow the locusts will devour everything in Egypt! I do what I say! ”

Pharaoh's side of Pharaoh's ministers said to Pharaoh, "Great monarch, let this Moses take the Israelites out of Egypt." He has brought us so many disasters! It will do us no good to keep him. ”

Pharaoh pondered for a moment and said to Moses, "So that all the women and children of Israel may leave Egypt." But the men are to stay behind and continue to build a mausoleum for me until the work is completed. ”

When Moses heard this, he left the palace without looking back. He stood in the middle of the city and prayed, and suddenly a strong wind arose in the east, and the locusts flew into Egypt like dark clouds, devouring all the plants in an instant, and the Egyptians felt like they were in hell.

This time, Pharaoh came to Moses' dwelling and pleaded with Moses, "Dear Moses, I beg you only once, take the spell and bypass the Egyptians." ”

Moses asked Pharaoh, "You promised us that the Israelites would leave Egypt?" ”

Pharaoh nodded and said, "I grant your request, that all the twelve tribes of Israel may leave Egypt." ”

"But!" Pharaoh changed his words and continued: "But you must leave Egypt with all your possessions, along with your cattle and sheep." ”

Pointing to Pharaoh, Moses said, "Say no more of your clever words, for you have made us leave all our possessions to the Israelites, so that we may starve us to death in the field?" Since we are leaving, we must take with us all the property we have earned by our hard work, and this is indisputable. ”

Pharaoh was still quibbling and saying, "You cannot take these possessions with you, for I have given them to you, and of course you must keep them." ”

Moses said, "Once again, I solemnly warn you, if you do not agree with me leading the Israelites out of Egypt, then Egypt will be plunged into complete darkness and will not see a trace of light!" ”

Pharaoh shouted: "I will not allow you to do this! ”

Moses pointed his staff to the sky, and in an instant the sun vanished, the earth darkened, and Egypt fell into a deeper panic.

Moses said, "Do you say yes or no?" ”

Pharaoh nodded helplessly and said, "I promise you that you and all the Israelites will leave Egypt with all your possessions!" ”

"But!" Pharaoh stared at Moses fiercely and said, "Don't let me see you again, for the next time I see you, you will surely die." ”

Moses said, "You have spoken very well, and I do not want to see you again." ”

Although Pharaoh agreed to Moses' request, he was not reconciled, and he sent troops to loot the Israelites' villages, plunder their goods, and destroy their houses, and confiscate all their cattle and sheep.

Moses saw all this in his eyes, and the anger in his heart burned brightly. Then Yang Rui came to him and said, "Dear Moses, don't be angry! Pharaoh was bound to pay the price for his actions. ”

Moses asked Yang Rui rhetorically: "But I didn't see it!" ”

Yang Rui said, "Go and tell the Israelites, slaughter all the lambs, eat them, and put blood on the lintels of your houses." ”

Moses asked, "Why then?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Prove that it is the house of the Israelites, because I want to see all the firstborn sons and firstborn cattle of all the Egyptians in Egypt killed, and I will spare the families whose lintels are smeared with blood, because that can prove that they are Israelites." Also, prepare enough unleavened bread, and on the fourteenth day of this month, Pharaoh will surely set you on your journey. ”

Moses did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned the elders of the twelve tribes of Israel to give instructions to Yang Rui's words, and the Israelites who had survived the catastrophe hurriedly took action and prepared according to God's will.

Sure enough, on that night, a miracle occurred in Egypt. A white light shone on the darkness of Egypt, and all the Egyptian families, from Pharaoh to the poor, wailed in every house, for all the firstborn sons had died and the firstborn animals had died in the pens.

The next morning, Pharaoh summoned Moses again, the great king without haughty expression, for he was in the process of losing his son.

When he saw Moses, he said sadly: "Go quickly, get out of Egypt quickly, and I will give you all the property that I have plundered, and the greater wealth I have given you, and depart." (To be continued.) )
