![]() The people were complaining they were thirsty, so God tells Moses to speak to the rock and that water would come forth, instead Moses strikes the rock out of anger.

There was a tumultuous cry that was heard in the middle of the night from Egyptian families that had just lost family members. If blood was not found on top of the door then the angel of death would enter that house and kill the first-born son. This final plague was death to all the firstborn sons of Egypt.

But God had heard their cries and sent Moses to rescue them from the Egyptians.īut Pharaoh had hardened his heart and refused to let them go. The Hebrews at that time were slaves to the Egyptians forced to difficult working conditions under the supervision of brutal task masters.

He was chosen by God to lead His people into the promised land.
