Summarized Bible Commentary

Exodus 10:1-29

Contents: Plagues of locusts and darkness.

Characters: God, Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh.

Conclusion: God's terms of reconcilliation are fixed and cannot be disputed or lowered. Men must meet the demand of God's will or God will permit their delusions and answer them according to their sin.

Key Word: Smitten, Exodus 10:21.

Strong Verses: Exodus 10:12; Exodus 10:17; Exodus 10:25.

Striking Facts: Exodus 10:11. Godly men make a subtle compromise if they desire for their children, a position in the world, or (Exodus 10:24) if they fail to consecrate all their possessions along with themselves to Christ.
