THE TORAH
EXODUS
SHEMOT
The book of Exodus, known as Shemot in Hebrew, is the second book of the Torah. It continues the narrative of the Israelites’ journey and their development as a nation after the book of Genesis.
The book of Exodus chronicles the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, the revelation of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai, and the journey towards the Promised Land. It highlights the leadership of Moses, the miracles performed by G-d, and the development of the Israelite nation as a chosen people.

Exodus Chapter 8 Makes Mention of Pharaoh’s Mockery
When you call out to G-d for help, and He responds to your favor. Chances are you may think it happened by chance; not because G-d granted your request.
Did You Know That Hashem Purposely Allow You To Suffer That You May Call Unto Him And That He May Save And Deliver You From Difficulty?
G-d Intervenes Nature That You Will Be Reminded That He Runs The World And The Entire Universe
Nothing Is Random That He Is Unaware Of
Nothing Came About Out Of Nothing And Without An Intended Purpose
*Hence, mankind was made as a man. We did not evolved from a micro-organism to monkeys to man.
“Lice” — The Third Plaque
“Swarm of Wild Beasts” — The Fourth Plaque
Hashem said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the reservoirs, and raise up the frogs over the land of Egypt.’”
8:1
… – so that you will know that there is none like Hashem, our God.
:6
Hashem carried out the word of Moses, and the frogs died – from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields.
:9
Pharaoh saw that there had been a relief, and kept making his heart stubborn. He did not heed them, as Hashem had spoken.
:11
Hashem said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the land; it shall become lice throughout the land of Egypt.”
:12
The sorcerers said to Pharaoh, “It is a finger of God!” But Pharaoh’s heart was strong and he did not heed them, as Hashem had spoken.
:15
I shall make a distinction between My people and your people – tomorrow this sign will come about.’”
:19
Hashem did so and a severe swarm of wild beasts came to the house of Pharaoh and the house of his servants; and throughout the land of Egypt the land was being ruined because of the swarm.
:20
Moses said, “It is not proper to do so, for we will offer the deity of Egypt to Hashem, our God – behold, if we were to slaughter the deity of Egypt in their sight, will they not stone us?
:22
Hashem did in accordance with Moses’ word and He removed the swarm of wild beasts from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people – not one remained.
:27
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt.”
2 And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
3 And the necromancers did likewise with their secret rites, and they brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
4 Thereupon, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the Lord that He remove the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let out the people [of Israel] so that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”
5 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Boast [of your superiority] over me. For when shall I entreat for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and from your houses, [that] they should remain only in the Nile? “
6 And he [Pharaoh] said, “For tomorrow.” And he [Moses] said, “As you say, in order that you should know that there is none like the Lord, our God.
7 And the frogs will depart from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people; only in the Nile will they remain.”
8 And Moses and Aaron went away from Pharaoh, and Moses cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs that He had brought upon Pharaoh.
9 And the Lord did according to Moses’ word, and the frogs died from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields.
10 They gathered them into many heaps, and the land stank.
11 When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had spoken.
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch forth your staff and strike the dust of the earth, and it shall become lice throughout the entire land of Egypt.’ “
13 They did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and the lice were upon man and beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout the entire land of Egypt.
14 And the necromancers did likewise with their secret rites to bring out the lice, but they could not, and the lice were upon man and beast.
15 So the necromancers said to Pharaoh, “It is the finger of God,” but Pharaoh’s heart remained steadfast, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had spoken.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, “Arise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the water, and you shall say to him, ‘So said the Lord, “Let My people go out and serve Me.
17 For if you do not let My people go, behold, I will incite against you and against your servants and against your people and in your houses a mixture of noxious creatures, and the houses of Egypt will be filled with the mixture of noxious creatures, as well as the land upon which they are.
18 And I will separate on that day the land of Goshen, upon which My people stand, that there will be no mixture of noxious creatures there, in order that you know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
19 And I will make a redemption between My people and your people; this sign will come about tomorrow.” ‘ “
20 The Lord did so, and a heavy mixture of noxious creatures came to Pharaoh’s house and his servants’ house, and throughout the entire land of Egypt, the land was destroyed because of the mixture of noxious creatures.
21 Thereupon, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron, and he said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
22 But Moses said, “It is improper to do that, for we will sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to God our Lord. Will we sacrifice the deity of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they will not stone us?
23 Let us go [for] a three day journey in the desert and sacrifice to the Lord, our God, as He will say to us.”
24 Pharaoh said, “I will let you go out, and you will sacrifice to the Lord, your God, in the desert, but do not go far away; entreat [Him] on my behalf.”
25 Moses said, “Behold, I am going away from you, and I will entreat the Lord, and the mixture of noxious creatures will depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let Pharaoh not tease anymore, by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”
26 So Moses went away from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord.
27 And the Lord did according to Moses’ word, and He removed the mixture of noxious creatures from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one was left.
28 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
