Chapter 9 3. Effect of Plagues Tested—Those who regarded the word of the Lord gathered their cattle into barns and houses, while those whose hearts were hardened, like Pharaoh’s, left their cattle in the field. Here was an opportunity to test the exalted pride of the Egyptians, and to show the number whose hearts were really affected by the wonderful dealings of God with His people, whom they had despised and cruelly entreated (Spiritual Gifts 3:214).{1BC 1101.1}

kapitel 9

3. Virkningen af plagerne blev testet. - Dem som tog hensyn til Herrens ord samlede deres kvæg i stalde og huse, medens dem hvis hjerter var forhærdede, ligesom Faraos, efterlod deres kvæg på marken. Her var der en anledning til at prøve ægypternes ophøjede stolthed, og vise hvor mange hjerter virkelig var påvirket af Guds forunderlige handlinger med sit folk, som de hade foragtede og grusomt bedt om arbejde (3SG 214).
