317) What was the Egyptians\u2019 thought, and the thought of the minister appointed over them, who put it in their hearts? To prevent Israel from multiplying. This is because It is written, \u201cAnd he said unto his people\u201d relates to their minister, and he told them. And they knew that a son was to come out of Israel, by whom their gods would be sentenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
318) When Moses said, \u201cAgainst all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgments,\u201d Dumah, the minister of Egypt, went four hundred parasangs [1 parasang is about 4 miles] because of the great fear. The Creator told him that a sentence has been given before Me and it cannot be undone, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will punish the host of the high heaven on high.\u201d At that time, the authority had been taken away from him and Dumah was appointed as the minister of hell, to sentence the evil souls there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
319) \u201cUpon their gods also the Lord executed judgments.\u201d But are there judgments upon a god of silver or gold or of wood or of stone? Indeed, gods of silver and of gold melted by themselves, and the ones of wood rotted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
320) The God of Egypt was a lamb. The Creator commanded that judgments would be executed upon it, that it would be burned in fire, as it is written, \u201cThe graven images of their gods shall you burn with fire,\u201d so their smell will spread. It is also written, \u201cIts head with its legs and with its inwards,\u201d in a degrading manner. Moreover, its bones are thrown in the market, which was the hardest for the Egyptians. This is the meaning of the words, judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
321) He executed judgments in their actual gods. And this is their minister, to keep the verse, \u201cThe Lord will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.\u201d And the wise ones among them knew all that, all the more so their minister, as it is written, \u201cLet us deal wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
322) Idol worship abounded in Egypt. And the Nile river was their god; actually, he was their gods. And in all of them, the Creator executed judgments. Their gods were struck first, and then the nation. And also, the Nile was struck first, and the trees and the stones that they worshipped, as it is written, \u201cAnd the blood was through all the land of Egypt,\u201d in the trees and in the rocks that really were their gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written about the host of the high heaven on high that the Nile was not above, but on the earth. However, for the multitude of the waters of the Nile, they are similar to the river as it is above. Their minister is struck first, and then the rest of their gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
323) The actual striking of the nation of Egypt was only at sea, as it is written, \u201cNot even one of them remained.\u201d But before that, judgments were executed on their gods. This is why it is written, \u201cCome, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war,\u201d meaning they were predicting the future, as it happened to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also written, \u201cThey also join themselves unto our enemies,\u201d meaning they were predicting the camps of high angels that would be in the midst of them, and it is written, \u201cAnd fight against us,\u201d that they were prophesying about what is written, \u201cThe Lord will fight for you, and you will be silent.\u201d Also, it is written, \u201cAnd get them up out of the land,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd the children of Israel went out with a high hand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
