Exodus 10:19-21

The Message

^18-19 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to God. God reversed the wind—a powerful west wind took the locusts and dumped them into the Red Sea. There wasn’t a single locust left in the whole country of Egypt.

²⁰ But God made Pharaoh stubborn as ever. He still didn’t release the Israelites.

Strike Nine: Darkness

²¹ God said to Moses: “Stretch your hand to the skies. Let darkness descend on the land of Egypt—a darkness so dark you can touch it.”
