1 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων εἴσελθε πρὸς φαραω ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐσκλήρυνα αὐτοῦ τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ ἵνα ἑξῆς ἐπέλθῃ τὰ σημεῖα ταῦτα ἐπ' αὐτούς

2 ὅπως διηγήσησθε εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν τέκνων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις τῶν τέκνων ὑμῶν ὅσα ἐμπέπαιχα τοῖς αἰγυπτίοις καὶ τὰ σημεῖά μου ἃ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος

3 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ μωυσῆς καὶ ααρων ἐναντίον φαραω καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν εβραίων ἕως τίνος οὐ βούλει ἐντραπῆναί με ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου ἵνα λατρεύσωσίν μοι

4 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλῃς σὺ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν μου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ταύτην τὴν ὥραν αὔριον ἀκρίδα πολλὴν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ὅριά σου

5 καὶ καλύψει τὴν ὄψιν τῆς γῆς καὶ οὐ δυνήσῃ κατιδεῖν τὴν γῆν καὶ κατέδεται πᾶν τὸ περισσὸν τῆς γῆς τὸ καταλειφθέν ὃ κατέλιπεν ὑμῖν ἡ χάλαζα καὶ κατέδεται πᾶν ξύλον τὸ φυόμενον ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

6 καὶ πλησθήσονταί σου αἱ οἰκίαι καὶ αἱ οἰκίαι τῶν θεραπόντων σου καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ οἰκίαι ἐν πάσῃ γῇ τῶν αἰγυπτίων ἃ οὐδέποτε ἑωράκασιν οἱ πατέρες σου οὐδὲ οἱ πρόπαπποι αὐτῶν ἀφ' ἧς ἡμέρας γεγόνασιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐκκλίνας μωυσῆς ἐξῆλθεν ἀπὸ φαραω

7 καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ θεράποντες φαραω πρὸς αὐτόν ἕως τίνος ἔσται τοῦτο ἡμῖν σκῶλον ἐξαπόστειλον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ὅπως λατρεύσωσιν τῷ θεῷ αὐτῶν ἢ εἰδέναι βούλει ὅτι ἀπόλωλεν αἴγυπτος

8 καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τόν τε μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων πρὸς φαραω καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς πορεύεσθε καὶ λατρεύσατε τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν τίνες δὲ καὶ τίνες εἰσὶν οἱ πορευόμενοι

9 καὶ λέγει μωυσῆς σὺν τοῖς νεανίσκοις καὶ πρεσβυτέροις πορευσόμεθα σὺν τοῖς υἱοῖς καὶ θυγατράσιν καὶ προβάτοις καὶ βουσὶν ἡμῶν ἔστιν γὰρ ἑορτὴ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν

10 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἔστω οὕτως κύριος μεθ' ὑμῶν καθότι ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς μὴ καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν ὑμῶν ἴδετε ὅτι πονηρία πρόκειται ὑμῖν

11 μὴ οὕτως πορευέσθωσαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ λατρεύσατε τῷ θεῷ τοῦτο γὰρ αὐτοὶ ζητεῖτε ἐξέβαλον δὲ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου φαραω

12 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα ἐπὶ γῆν αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀναβήτω ἀκρὶς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ κατέδεται πᾶσαν βοτάνην τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντα τὸν καρπὸν τῶν ξύλων ὃν ὑπελίπετο ἡ χάλαζα

13 καὶ ἐπῆρεν μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ κύριος ἐπήγαγεν ἄνεμον νότον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα τὸ πρωὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος ὁ νότος ἀνέλαβεν τὴν ἀκρίδα

14 καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν γῆν αἰγύπτου καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ὅρια αἰγύπτου πολλὴ σφόδρα προτέρα αὐτῆς οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη ἀκρὶς καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὐκ ἔσται οὕτως

15 καὶ ἐκάλυψεν τὴν ὄψιν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐφθάρη ἡ γῆ καὶ κατέφαγεν πᾶσαν βοτάνην τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντα τὸν καρπὸν τῶν ξύλων ὃς ὑπελείφθη ἀπὸ τῆς χαλάζης οὐχ ὑπελείφθη χλωρὸν οὐδὲν ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις καὶ ἐν πάσῃ βοτάνῃ τοῦ πεδίου ἐν πάσῃ γῇ αἰγύπτου

16 κατέσπευδεν δὲ φαραω καλέσαι μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων λέγων ἡμάρτηκα ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς ὑμᾶς

17 προσδέξασθε οὖν μου τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἔτι νῦν καὶ προσεύξασθε πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν καὶ περιελέτω ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὸν θάνατον τοῦτον

18 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ μωυσῆς ἀπὸ φαραω καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς τὸν θεόν

19 καὶ μετέβαλεν κύριος ἄνεμον ἀπὸ θαλάσσης σφοδρόν καὶ ἀνέλαβεν τὴν ἀκρίδα καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη ἀκρὶς μία ἐν πάσῃ γῇ αἰγύπτου

20 καὶ ἐσκλήρυνεν κύριος τὴν καρδίαν φαραω καὶ οὐκ ἐξαπέστειλεν τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ

21 εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ γενηθήτω σκότος ἐπὶ γῆν αἰγύπτου ψηλαφητὸν σκότος

22 ἐξέτεινεν δὲ μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ ἐγένετο σκότος γνόφος θύελλα ἐπὶ πᾶσαν γῆν αἰγύπτου τρεῖς ἡμέρας

23 καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν οὐδεὶς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐκ ἐξανέστη οὐδεὶς ἐκ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ τρεῖς ἡμέρας πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ ἦν φῶς ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς κατεγίνοντο

24 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν φαραω μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων λέγων βαδίζετε λατρεύσατε κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν πλὴν τῶν προβάτων καὶ τῶν βοῶν ὑπολίπεσθε καὶ ἡ ἀποσκευὴ ὑμῶν ἀποτρεχέτω μεθ' ὑμῶν

25 καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς ἀλλὰ καὶ σὺ δώσεις ἡμῖν ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας ἃ ποιήσομεν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν

26 καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν πορεύσεται μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ὁπλήν ἀπ' αὐτῶν γὰρ λημψόμεθα λατρεῦσαι κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί λατρεύσωμεν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἡμᾶς ἐκεῖ

27 ἐσκλήρυνεν δὲ κύριος τὴν καρδίαν φαραω καὶ οὐκ ἐβουλήθη ἐξαποστεῖλαι αὐτούς

28 καὶ λέγει φαραω ἄπελθε ἀπ' ἐμοῦ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ ἔτι προσθεῖναι ἰδεῖν μου τὸ πρόσωπον ᾗ δ' ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθῇς μοι ἀποθανῇ

29 λέγει δὲ μωυσῆς εἴρηκας οὐκέτι ὀφθήσομαί σοι εἰς πρόσωπον

7673. Stretch out thy hand. That this signifies the rule of power is evident from the signification of “stretching out” as being predicated of rule (of which presently); and from the signification of “hand” as being power (see n. 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6292, 6947, 7011, 7188, 7189, 7518). That “to stretch out the hand” denotes the rule of power is because the hand or arm has power when it is stretched out; and therefore when it is said of Jehovah that “He stretches out the hand” or “arm,” there is signified power unlimited or infinite in act. This is the reason why Jehovah so often said to Moses when miracles were to be done, that he should “stretch out his hand” or “rod,” as in Isaiah:

Stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, and they shall be blood (Exodus 7:19).

Stretch out thy hand over the streams, and cause frogs to come up (Exodus 8:5).

Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, and it shall be lice (Exodus 8:16).

Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail (Exodus 9:22).

It would never have been so said unless by the stretching out of the hand, in the supreme sense, there was signified the omnipotence of Jehovah.

[2] So with what was said to Joshua, that he should “stretch out his spear,” as we read in that book:

Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand against Ai; and when Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand against Ai, those in ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he stretched out his hand, and came unto the city, and took it; Joshua drew not back his hand which he stretched out with the spear until he had given all the inhabitants of Ai to the curse (Josh. 8:18-19, 26);

as this was a representative of Divine omnipotence, it therefore had force, as had all representatives at that time, when commanded.

[3] In many passages also omnipotence is described by “Jehovah stretching out His hand,” as also by “His outstretched hand,” and by “His outstretched arm”—by “Jehovah stretching out the hand,” in Isaiah:

The anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people, and He hath stretched out His hand over them, and hath smitten them, and the mountains quaked (Isaiah 5:25).

I will stretch out My hand against him, and will destroy him (Ezekiel 14:9, 13).

I will stretch out My hand against thee, and will give thee for a spoil to the nations (Ezekiel 25:7).

I will stretch out My hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it, I will stretch out My hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off (Ezekiel 25:13, 16 Ezekiel 35:3; Isaiah 31:3; Zeph. 1:4; 2:13).

Omnipotence is described by “an outstretched hand” in Isaiah:

The hand of Jehovah is stretched out upon all nations, and who shall press it back? (Isaiah 14:27-28).

I will fight with you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury (Jeremiah 21:5).

His hand is stretched out still (Isaiah 9:12, 1 9:17; 10:4).

Also by “an outstretched arm” in Jeremiah:

I have made the earth, the man, and the beast, by My great power, and by My stretched out arm (Jeremiah 27:5).

Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched out arm, no word is impossible before Thee (Jeremiah 32:17).

That in Jeremiah by “an outstretched arm” is signified omnipotence is manifest; and so in many other passages, where it is said “by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm” (asDeuteronomy 4:34; 5:15; 7:19; 9:29; 11:2; 26:8; 1 Kings 8:42; 2 Kings 17:36; Jeremiah 32:21; Ezekiel 20:33-34).

[4] It is also said of Jehovah that “He stretches out the heaven,” and here also by “stretching out” is signified omnipotence; that is, that He enlarges the boundaries of heaven, and fills its inhabitants with life and wisdom, as in Isaiah:

Jehovah who stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in (Isaiah 40:22).

Jehovah that stretcheth out the heavens, that spreadeth out the earth, that giveth soul to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein (Isaiah 42:5).

Who maketh the earth by His power, He prepareth the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding He stretcheth out the heavens (Jeremiah 51:15).

Jehovah stretching out the heavens, and laying the foundation of the earth, and forming the spirit of man in the midst of him (Zech. 12:1).

Besides elsewhere, as in Isaiah 44:24; 45:12; Psalms 104:2.

From all this it can now be seen why Moses was commanded to stretch out his hand and rod, and that then miracles were done; and that thus by “stretching out the hand” is signified the rule of power, and in the supreme sense omnipotence.
