31Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested. 32Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”
33And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!” 34So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
35Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. 36And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.
The pharaoh now knows who the Lord is!
Go now, “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”
I’m sure the Egyptians thought if the Israelites didn’t leave more death would follow!
The Israelites asked the Egyptians for gold, silver and clothing,
Don’t mis this, “And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request.”
I believe our move from Arizona happened in a similar fashion. We decided to move back to our home state and found a home in the the woods. I knew when I saw it that it was the one because my heart sang with joy. The purchase went through surprisingly fast. We decided to sell our Arizona home the following year but the Lord had other plans, leave this land quickly! We received an offer in 56 hours after listing the house for sale! We actually sold it to friends we knew from church.
They had been looking for a year and were told the home they sought didn’t exist. We didn’t know they were looking and they didn’t know we were selling.
We both found favor, because of the Lord!
Have you found favor in the sight of someone because of the Lord?
Blessings, David
