Exodus 11 — Sketch

Pharaoh Knew What Was Coming

Big Idea:⁠⁠

• God has Israel collect silver and gold from their Egyptian neighbors because He had made the Egyptian people favor Israel.⁠⁠

• Moses warns Pharaoh that, in the final plague, every firstborn son in Egypt will die — but Israel will be spared.⁠

• Pharaoh’s heart is still hard.⁠⁠

Jesus in This Chapter:⁠

The fact that the final and worst plague is against the firstborn reminds us of how significant firstborn sons are. Jesus is God’s “One and Only Son.” That significance helps put the sacrifice of the cross into perspective.⁠⁠
