[17] 'Thus says the LORD, "By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood. [18] "The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will become foul, and the ________________ will find __________________ in ______________ water from the Nile.""'

Exodus 7:20-22 So Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD had ________________. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of ____________ and in the sight of his ______________, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. [21] The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt. [22] But the ________________ of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and ____________'s heart was ______________, and he did not __________ to them, as the LORD had said.

Exodus 8:1-7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to ____________ and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

[5] Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, '____________ out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the ____________ and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.' " [6] So Aaron ________________ out his hand over the __________ of Egypt, and the frogs came up and ____________ the land of Egypt. [7] The ________________ did the same with their __________ arts, __________ frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

Exodus 8:8-15 Then Pharaoh __________ for Moses and Aaron and said, "Entreat the LORD that He __________ the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may ________________ to the LORD." [9] Moses said to Pharaoh, "The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be ________________ from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?" [10] Then he said, "Tomorrow." So he said, "May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God. [11] "The frogs will __________ from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile."

Exodus 8:16-19 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, '____________ out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats through all the land of Egypt.' " [17] They did so; and Aaron ________________ out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt. [18] The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; so there were gnats on man and beast. [19] Then the magicians said to ____________, "This is the __________ of God." But ____________'s heart was ______________, and he did not __________ to them, as the LORD had said.

Exodus 8:20-24 Now the LORD said to Moses, "Rise early in the ____________ and ____________ yourself before Pharaoh, as he comes out to the water, and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me. [21] "For if you do not let My people go, __________, I will send swarms of insects on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of insects, and also the __________ on which they dwell. [22] "But on that day I will set apart the land of __________, where My people are __________, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land. [23] "I will put a ______________ ____________ My people and your people. ______________ this sign will occur.""' [24] Then the LORD did so. And there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was laid _________ ____________ of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 8:25-32 Pharaoh __________ for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God within the land."

If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians __________ their eyes, will they not then stone us? [27] "We must go a three days' ____________ into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He ______________ us." [28] Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make supplication for me." [29] Then Moses said, "__________, I am going out from you, and I shall make supplication to the LORD that the swarms of flies may __________ from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal ___________________ again in not ____________ the people go to sacrifice to the LORD." [30] So Moses went out from Pharaoh and made supplication to the LORD. [31] The LORD did as Moses _________, and ____________ the swarms of ____________ from Pharaoh, from his servants and from his people; not one ______________. [32] But Pharaoh ______________ his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

Exodus 9:1-7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the ____________, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

4. Pharaoh Did Not Give in to God. This Shows That Sinful Man Can Become Unable to Respond to God When He Continues to Resist What God Says.

Exodus 9:8-12 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take for __________________ ______________ of soot from a kiln, and let Moses throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. [9] "It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt." [10] So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast. [11] The magicians could not stand before Moses ____________ of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the ________________.

Exodus 9:13-19 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the ____________, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

[16] "But, indeed, for this reason I have ____________ you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to ______________ My name through all the earth.

[19] "Now ________________ send, bring your ________________ and ______________ you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not ____________ home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.""'

Exodus 9:22-26 Now the LORD said to Moses, "____________ out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt." [23] Moses ________________ out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent ____________ and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.

Exodus 10:12-17 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, even all that the hail has left." [13] So Moses ________________ out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD ______________ an east wind on the land all that day and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. [14] The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled in all the ________________ of Egypt; they were very ______________. There had never been so many locusts, nor would there be so many again. [15] For they ____________ the ____________ of the whole land, so that the land was ______________; and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Thus ____________ green was left on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Egypt. [16] Then ____________ ________________ called for Moses and Aaron, and he said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you. [17] "Now ________________, please ____________ my sin only this once, and make _____________________ to the LORD your God, that He would only remove this death from me."

Exodus 10:21-27 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt." [22] So Moses ________________ out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. [23] They did not see one ____________, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their ________________. [24] Then ____________ called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be ______________. Even your little ones may go with you." [25] But Moses said, "You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice them to the LORD our God. [26] "________________, our ________________ too shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we shall take some of them to serve the LORD our God.
