38. Many Egyptians Acknowledged God—There was quite a large number of the Egyptians who were led to acknowledge, by manifestations of the signs and wonders shown in Egypt, that the God of the Hebrews was the only true God. They entreated to be permitted to come to the houses of the Israelites with their families, upon that fearful night when the angel of God should slay the firstborn of the Egyptians. They were convinced that their gods whom they had worshiped were without knowledge, and had no power to save or to destroy. And they pledged themselves to henceforth choose the God of Israel as their God. They decided to leave Egypt, and go with the children of Israel to worship their God. The Israelites welcomed the believing Egyptians to their houses (Spiritual Gifts 3:224, 225).{1BC 1101.5}

38. Mange ægyptere anerkendte Gud. - Der var ganske mange ægyptere som blev ledt til at anerkende, ved at se de tegn og under der blev vist i Ægypten, at hebræernes Gud var den eneste sande Gud. De bad indstændigt om lov til at komme til israelitternes huse med deres familier, på den forfærdelige nat, hvor Guds engel skulle ihjelslå ægypternes førstefødte. De blev overbevist om at deres guder, som de havde dyrket uden kendskab, og havde ingen kraft til at frelse eller til at udslette. Og de lovede selv at de fra nu af valgte Israels Gud som deres Gud. De besluttede at forlade Ægypten, og tage med Israels børn og tilbede deres Gud. Israelitterne bød de troende ægypter velkommen i deres huse (Samme., 224, 225).
