Bible 911 Exodus

Exodus 9:11 – And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. (KJV)

Exodus 9:11 is part of what God did to set His people free from bondage by bring them out from Egypt. This narrative is about the plague of boils verses 8 – 12. We will start with 9:11 and then look at the rest of this plague.

This is not the first time the magicians have been part of trying to keep Israel in Egypt, but it is the last time we hear about them. They played a role with the rod that became a snake, the water being blood, the frogs, and the gnats. In 8:19 they finally admit that “the finger of God” had done this. I want to think that was an admission of how great God is, but I am not sure of that. They could be part of the “officials” that were there to advise Pharoah. Their inability to “stand” before Moses is a serious blow to the aura of Egypt’s power and their beliefs. Anyway, they are not heard from again, I wonder if they recovered from their boils. This is on par with their later counterparts in Babylon not being able to supply what Daniel could give.

Strong’s Hebrew: 2748. חַרְטֹם (chartom) — an engraver, writer (biblehub.com)

Stood – These words for Moses before Pharoah and the magicians come from the same root but are different forms of the word. Strong’s Hebrew: 5975. עָמַד (amad) — to take one’s stand, stand (biblehub.com) Moses’ word means to stand and the magicians’ word implies not able to stand, it is the first time it is used in the Hebrew text. You can imply several aspects of the word but do your homework first. I just find it amazing that Moses was allowed to be standing and not made to kneel in the presence of this self-proclaimed god.

BoilsStrong’s Hebrew: 7822. שְׁחִין (shechin) — a boil, eruption (biblehub.com) The King James will have the word blains in this verse, look it up. This affliction was on man and beast, this is a first. Yes, the flies and gnats bothered both and may have left bites. The goddess Isis is the deity that the Lord is embarrassing here, she was over medicine and peace. This is a great pdf for the plagues. 10_Eqyptian_gods_10_Plagues.pdf (rice.edu) 2 Timothy 3 gives a name to these priests – Jannes and Jambres. Historical fact or legend, I do not know but that is what they have been called. Please note that only two names are listed.

The Egyptian people and the magicians or “soothsaying” priest took the brunt on this. Boils are not nice, so this must have been an attention getter. The text uses several words that our modern thinking may run together. Exodus 5:3 and 9:15 is deber, it is also used in 2 Samuel 24:15, when David counted the men. Strong’s Hebrew: 1698. דָּ֫בֶר (deber) — pestilence (biblehub.com)

Moses and Aaron

9:8-12 is about the boils, but it has several special things associated with it. The Lord addressing Moses and Aaron is also with the snake story (7:8, the first sign) and with the Passover (12:1, the last thing). The other ones are addressed just to Moses. I believe this shows plague #6 (number of man) that personally affects the Egyptians is significant. Why stress that both are present and told? Aaron was needed as the second witness to confirm the matter (he also was “speaking” for Moses). Two witnesses are seen again in Revelations 11:6.

“The Lord said” or its variations are used many times in the Bible, it is a very common statement/thought. I think we tend to overlook the importance of it. Strong’s Hebrew: 559. אָמַר (amar) — to utter, say (biblehub.com) (This is just one word for this statement or speaking.) Once upon a time I had started that study, I lost the notes, but it is more complex than you may think.  

How were they spoken to? An audible voice? Dreams or visions? Was a priest or elder in the Israelite community giving voice to the Holy Spirit? I know Moses was special, however, do not let modern paradigms limit your supernatural God. I am thankful that the Father gave us His written Word to help direct us, but Moses and the Prophets did not have that luxury. They had some of it, but they were writing it for us.

Soot

The carbon/mineral residue from burning fuel. Moses and Aaron took this black or gray powder from a kiln or furnace that may have been used by God’s Children. The NIV has “handfuls” of this carried before Pharoah and thrown into the air. This is one of the special things about Plague #6, so we will look at soot. Strong’s Hebrew: 6368. פִּ֫יחַ (piach) — soot (biblehub.com)

When this dust multiplied and settled all over Egypt, it metaphorically turned the country into a furnace. This is reflected in Deuteronomy 4:20, 1 Kings 8:51, and Jeremiah 11:4. In these verses Egypt is referred to as an “iron furnace” that held the Family. I will give you some links; thoughts and “facts” that can run all over the place.

Use a text analysis tool and study the other words like scattered, and abroad. The connections here are interesting.

Moses took a product of the slavery and just threw it into the air with his hand. No staff, proclamations, striking the ground, or warnings, just boils taking out the magicians and covering the people.

Moses did something to announce the plagues. That almond tree limb was present with every sign and wonder that Moses did.

  1. Staff-blood
  2. Staff-frogs
  3. Staff-gnats struck the dust
  4. Spoke-flies
  5. Spoke-animals die
  6. Moses threw soot in the air nothing was said to Pharoah-boils
  7. Stretch out your hand-hail
  8. Stretch out your hand-locusts
  9. Stretch out your hand-darkness
  10. Warned them about the coming death

I need to revisit my post The Wonders that Plagued Egypt; more study adds to your thoughts.

Contrary to the noise I heard during COVID about Jehovah “causing or letting” that plague occur; I see that He announced the plagues He sent, so there was no mistake. That does include the one that David picked when he counted the fighting men.

Pharoah

The snake that got eaten in Chapter 7. His role was pretty limited from one respect, do what the Lord wants or have your false support system exposed and judged. This politician-god tried to control the narrative by ignoring or haggling with Moses and God. With each haggle he was hardened, and his losses were compounded. It is interesting that his people, more or less, supported him through all of this.  

Exodus 911 has moved a few “tent pegs” in my thinking.

Hard or Harden in Exodus 1 – 14

This study help is for Exodus 911 (will be live 10/1) and The Wonders that Plagued Egypt. These listing from the Strong’s are for hard or harden, and several other words in the Exodus 1 – 14. The list of verses at the bottom are every time the Hebrew words were used. (God bless translators.) Not all of the listing will show “hard” I saw things like the staff being in the hand. I did put biblehub.com and blueletterbible.org listings; both are great, and I have no connection to either, they are just great study aids.

Looking at other references that use these words can give you an idea of the scope of what God did with Pharoah and how he reacted. you will notice that the Hebrew has good and bad side to each of these words.

H 2388 – chazaq: to be or grow firm or strong, strengthen

Bible 911 – Job

Job 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. (KJV)

This edition of Bible 911 on Job is an anniversary, two years since the first one. In my first Bible 911, I put down some thoughts of why I wanted to do these. It has been a fun study for me, but the thing that has become clear is the need for STUDY. Job has a rich history of opinions, facts, and questions. These two references are being given as an example of what is out there. As with most of my reference links, read them, compare the information, and hear from God. Do I agree with everything that is written, no; but that is the nature of studying a topic.

Was there a Job? There is no reason to doubt that this man and his tale of finding a deeper relationship with God really happened. I do however, like the allegorical picture of the Book of Job representing the religions of the Levant. It is easy to accept Job as a believing Gentile, after all Melchizedek and Balaam also knew God and they are not related to Jacob.

I did a post on Job’s four friends. Please add Elihu to the count, many people do not. There are other speakers in this Book that we do not think about: God, Job’s wife, the servants, the Accuser (Satan), and Job’s family (at the end of the story). For me to keep them straight I color-coded the text of the major speakers; that helped.

Job 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. (KJV)

Job 9:11 Hebrew Text Analysis (biblehub.com)

From this analysis I found the word “he passeth” to be important. The Hebrew word is chalaph,# H2498, and has a meaning of “to pass on or away, pass through”. It is part of Eliphaz’s vision (4:15), Zophar uses the word twice (11:10 and 20:24), and Job says it in 9:11 and 26, 14:7, and 29;20. In 9:11, I see it as a comparison of how the troubling spirit acts as to how God behaves.

Job had complaints and observations. He did complain (See 7:13, 9:27, 10:1, 21:4, and 23:2)? There was a relationship between God and Job that the first three friends knew could exist but they did not enjoy. They quoted Kingdom wisdom and principles but was it from a righteous knowing of God and how He does things? I can say no because of Job 42:7. (One reason for color-coding the speeches was to check any statement/verse that I might want to use.) Many of the words for complain are also translated musing, so view them as a child talking to his Father.

My big takeaway is good intentions may not have a good foundation. The goal here is to know the God of Exodus 34:6 and 7. So, careful reading and application of the wisdom in the conversations is necessary, because some of the “friends’ comments” is good ole religious mudslinging. Knowledge, like modern fertilizer, has a good and evil application, it will cause plants to grow or it can be used to blow up buildings.

Here are some interesting observations that I have heard or made.

  1. Sacrifice is important in the first and last chapters of Job; in these times he was sacrificing for someone else.
  2. Part of what Satan did in stealing the animals was to take away Job’s ability to sacrifice.
  3. I count seven trials Job faced between 1:13 and 2:11. Number six was his wife telling him to curse God and the seventh was his friends and their comments.
  4. Eliphaz, the chief friend, had a dream, 4:12-18 and probably to verse 21. This accusation from the spirit was the foundation of the friends wanting to help Job. Eliphaz repeats part of it in 15:14, Bildad uses it in 25:4, and he refers to it in 8:3 when he brings in the justice aspect of righteousness, and Job even says part of it in 9:1. “A mortal is not more righteous than God” but the fruit of that vision/dream is shown in 42:7 because the friends did not speak right about God.
  5. In 9:11, I believe, Job is commenting on the spirit and that message by Eliphaz and Bildad. It is also a part of an observation about God and His righteous ability to judge.

Bible 911 Revelations

Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (KJV)

Our verse is at the end of the fifth angel sounding his trumpet and is the first WOE. The whole section is from 8:13 to 9:12. I will study the parts involved in this section and leave the apocalyptic predictions to works of fiction, Hollywood, favorite study Bibles, and the makers of all of those great study boards I have seen. The cryptic nature of the Book has taught me one great truth – Jesus is coming again when the Father says it is time to get His Bride.

So, I will start at Revelations 1:1 which states that John got this revelation of Jesus Christ (Man-God) from God to show what would happen. I know that some of Revelations has not happened yet, but we tend to forget it was written for churches in Asia in the first century. The Holy Spirit was giving wisdom and comfort to our brothers and sisters who were about to go through a very bad time.

Abyss – The shaft that is “bottomless” or the place of the dead. The first use of this word is in Luke 8:31 where Legion is begging to not be sent there. (They know it is coming.) The second place we find it is in Romans 10:7 with the thought of Jesus going and getting the Keys back. The other seven references are in Revelations starting at 9:1 and going to 20:3. See ἄβυσσος | Free Online Greek Dictionary | billmounce.com and search Strong’s G12. The NASB uses Abyss nine times.

Abaddon – It is the Hebrew word for destruction or ruin and refers to the being that is in charge of that. Please remember some of the readers had Hebrew roots. The verse compares him to Apollyon for the Greeks. Abaddon is found mostly in Job, Psalms, and Proverbs.

Apollyon – The Holy Spirit gave John this interesting name to use in this verse. It may refer to the Greek god Apollo but that is unclear. His function as ruler over those locusts that sting like scorpions is clear.

Five Months – This part of the study was fun. As I am leaning toward this being a teaching tool for the first-century Church as well as it being something in the future, I started in the Bible.

  • Elizabeth, John the Baptist’s mother, was in seclusion for five months before Mary showed up in the sixth month of her pregnancy. Okay, that one left me with nothing.
  • There are two 150-day periods associated with Noah’s flood. One month = 30 days in the Hebrew scheme of timekeeping. See Genesis 7 and 8; take a look at Genesis 911 and Noah’s covenant. At least this one deals with destruction, but I was left treading water with this reference also.
  • The siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. lasted five months. Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE) – Wikipedia Rome did it in five months, it took Babylon about twenty-three months in Jeremiah 52. Yes, this took place during John’s lifetime, but Revelation 12 also seems to have taken place. How does this fit into a nice timeline? It does not, but I can imagine the people in Jerusalem praying really hard. Is there more to come? It sure seems that way. I would bet that by the time John got this revelation that reference would have made sense to his readers.
  • My ink and leaf concordance (Strong’s, 2001) identifies five months as the lifespan of the insect. The internet says from 3 to 5 months for the adult stage and around 7 months for the entire life cycle.

Woe! Woe! – Depending on your translation you might find woe or alas. It appears to be the same Greek word ouai, Strong: G 3759. You will find this word in Matthew, Luke, and Revelations; Mark may have one also. Revelations 8:13 has an eagle flying and announcing that three “woes” are coming. The first woe is 9:12, the second woe is 11:14, and the third one we will explore. The woe to the earth and sea in 12:12 somehow seems caught up in the first two. (Those four are translated as woe in Mounce and the KJV.) The three alas/woe in chapter 18:10, 16, and 19 are all about Babylon and are repeated or written as “Woe, Woe”. So, we have the locust (possibly the Romain army), the two witnesses, and the fall of Babylon as the three woes. Many say Babylon in this chapter is Rome, which at the time was a major shipping giant. Was John writing about the fall of the mighty Roman Empire just a few hundred years in the future? Is there a second layer in this prophecy, probably? A symbol of ancient Rome was the eagle (8:13). Wow, I would love to go over all the metaphors and opinions about those two witnesses, but I will say we have not seen them yet.   

Locusts – These insect and arachnid hybrids that come from the Abyss are something else. I have heard physical and metaphorical explanations. The Greek word is Strong’s G200 for locust and G4651 for scorpion. I am pretty sure that John the Baptist would not eat these creatures. A DNA splicing experiment gone wrong would be way too simple. For their adult lifespan, they don’t eat, their purpose is to make humans miserable who do not have the seal of God on their lives. Just like in Exodus 10, these things leave God’s children alone.

A look into our Old Testament shows that locusts can have several descriptors so there is more than just one reference in the Strong’s Concordance – H697, H2284, H1357, H5556, H6767.

Well, the fifth angel blowing his trumpet and the first woe introduces us to a global event that releases a terrifying problem for those who do not think about Father God and reveals their king. What strength, comfort, and understanding did it bring to the first Christians who read John’s words? I am not sure, but it worked because the Church grew and prospered. What lessons are we to learn from them and these prophetic words? I know enough to say it starts with Jesus and echoes Paul’s word in 1 Corinthians 1:30
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. (NIV)

2 Kings 9 11

2 Kings 9:11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. 12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. (KJV) This took place in Ramoth Gilead.

God’s love of Abraham and the covenant in Genesis 15 that extends to the Children of Jacob is the foundation for this story of obedience, fear, and respect for the Holy One of Israel. This story in 2 Kings 9:1-13 is God using His prophets to bring the land of Israel back to Himself. Elisha starts by getting a prophet with the courage to go and deliver one serious message to a leader in the king’s army. He is not the only prophet at this time, Micaiah plays an important role in the first defense of Ramoth Gilead, and the unnamed prophet in 1 Kings 20, plus the school of prophets.

The Young Man

No pressure here, right? Elisha the Man of God tells you to go and anoint the next king and gives you some very specific instructions. I can see that verses 2 + 3 were for his safety. Verses 11 + 12 give me the impression that this young man was personally known to the officers and not just a “crazy” man of God. If Elisha was at Mt. Carmel this young man walked more than seventy miles to Ramoth carrying that flask of oil. There was a war going on at the time, so tension had to be high.

It is hard to not notice that his message was much more detailed than what Elisha had said. I firmly believe that when he was obedient to the first part of his mission God poured through him the rest of the message that had started with Elijah in 1 Kings 19.   

The young man is called a “crazy fellow” or meshuga.  Strong’s Hebrew: 5288. נַ֫עַר (naar) — a boy, lad, youth, retainer (biblehub.com) and Strong’s Hebrew: 7696. שָׁגַע (shaga) — to be mad (biblehub.com)   Jehu referred to his speech as babbling or a complaint. Strong’s Hebrew: 7879. שִׂ֫יחַ (siach) — complaint, musing (biblehub.com)

The Message

Three people heard the message and repeated it to three different audiences. The reactions of those who heard are worth looking at. God spoke and things happened.

  • Elisha heard and spoke to the prophet, who believed and did what he was told, the way he was told to do it.
  • The prophet heard Elisha and more from God and spoke it out to Jehu son of Nimshi. (Once he showed his obedience the Spirit gave him more to say.) The prophet running was for his safety as those other officers may have been an issue, also he was not there to get any recognition. Jehu was dripping with oil that may have smelled nice. Did he believe? I think he did, but he did not know how the other officers would receive the message so he downplayed it. They called him a sheker or a liar. Strong’s Hebrew: 8267. שֶׁ֫קֶר (sheqer) — deception, disappointment, falsehood (biblehub.com)
  • Jehu heard the message and tells the soldiers. They quickly responded to the message by proclaiming him king. That conversation needs to be looked at. There was no hesitation because they “knew” the prophet and that he would speak the words of God.   

I found Jehu’s exchange with the other soldiers interesting.

  • 9:11 – One said, “Why has this meshuga come to you.” He knew him or could at least tell he was a prophet.
  • Jehu played off who he was and what he said, again (compare with 5 + 6). He may have been wary of the officers because they could have been loyal to the king and not the word of the Lord.
  • 9:12 – The group then called Jehu or at least what he said – sheker. There was a belief in the prophets, even in the north, that they did speak God’s word. Again, they knew him or at least associated him with Elisha. Remember that Jehu was dripping with oil and that may have smelled nice. 

Jehu son of Nimshi

His story should have started right after 1 Kings 19:16. It is not recorded that Elijah did all three (or four) of the things God told him to do. He did anoint Elisha. Please take this as an example of grace and mercy for Elijah, but God still had Jehu in His plan. 1 Kings 21 is the story of Naboth’s vineyard where Jehu received a prophecy that he talks about in 2 Kings 9:25 concerning Ahab. God was preparing Jehu even though Elijah did not anoint him. For a record of all Jehu did read 2 Kings 9 and 10. In this post, I will focus on his dynasty.

Jehu belongs to a small group of leaders who were offered a dynasty of rulers. The length of his dynasty was only four generations.

  • Jehu – 2 Kings 9 – 12. 2 Kings 10:31 records that he did not get rid of the sin of Jeroboam.
  • Jehoahaz – 2 Kings 13 He was challenged by Amaziah king of Judah to battle, 2 Chronicles 25:17.
  • Jehoash – 2 Kings 13:10 Elisha died during his reign.
  • Jeroboam – 2 Kings 14:23 Jonah was a prophet during his time as king.
  • Zechariah – 2 Kings 15:8 Isaiah, Hosea, and others were prophets by this time.

The references to this promise of a dynasty are 2 Kings 10:30+31, 15:12.

The other rulers who were offered a dynasty:

  • King Saul, 1 Samuel 13:13. He did not keep the Lord’s commands, if he had it would have been a lasting kingdom.
  • David, 2 Samuel 7:13-16. Verse 15 talks about God not removing His love from Solomon. Yes, this goes on to have meaning for Jesus. In my 2 Chronicles 911 post, I stated some doubts about Solomon, verse 15 does cover some of them. Isaiah 55:3 is a reference to God’s promise to David.
  • Jeroboam, 1 Kings 11:38. He was promised a dynasty to match David’s if he did right in the eyes of the Lord. He did not, he caused Israel to sin. He made idols and selected priests from anyone who wanted to be one; this practice continued in the Northern Kingdom and is one reason for its fall and deportation.

Hosea 1:4 And the Lord said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for in just a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. (NASB)

This is the last reference to Jehu and it talks about his excessive bloodshed. 2 Kings 10:11 tells of the killing of the house of Ahab, as he was commissioned to do. I did not think that would qualify for the prophecy in Hosea. 2 Chronicles 22:8 is a related but different story. He kills the princes of Judah, which leads to Athaliah (she was related to Ahab) taking the throne of Judah. This should be the bloodshed that is referenced, he was not ordered to kill them.

Ramoth Gilead

This city and region were the first conquered by Israel while wandering in the desert. This is also the region that Jacob traveled through to go to Laban. It is on the east bank of the Jordan River Valley (Numbers 21:33, Deuteronomy 4:43). One of its “guard cities” is Lo Debar. Ramoth Gilead was also a refuge city (Joshua 21:38). This area is also known as the Bashan, word search that name in your favorite Bible app, it was known for its cattle and trees. If you watch The Chosen it is where the S2E2 scene of meeting Philip takes place.

The area has been a source of contention and attack since Judges 10:8, 1 Kings 22, and 2 Chronicles 18. The reason Jehu was anointed there is he was a leader in the defense of the region from northern invaders.

Ahab and Jezebel

This power couple from the Northern Kingdom is the perfect example of what not to be. Many times, I look up names and find interesting information, but trying to build your study off of just a name is not a great idea. These two are the case in point: Ahab means brother or friend of father, H256. Jezebel means chaste, H348; and G2403 gives a metaphorical meaning to her name in Revelations because of her treachery. So, the Hebrew meanings are not going to build much of a case for how bad they were. With that said I will bring Ahab’s father into the study.

Not much is said about Omri in the Bible and none of it is good, use the websites to explore more on this unrighteous man. Ahab was his son, but Athaliah was his granddaughter (apparently by another child), so in just those two he produced more evil than the kings before him (LOL). 1 Kings 16:30 has Ahab doing more evil than his father. Omri, however, had put his DNA and disregard for God into the royal line of David and the kings of the south. Yes, some kings of Judah chose to walk in the path of David, but many followed in Omri’s path away from the God of Israel.

These are some references that are for the Northern Kingdom.

  • 1 Kings 16:21 is Ormi’s start. Verse 29 begins Ahab.
  • 1 Kings 17 is the first we see of Elijah.
  • 1 Kings 19 is Jezebel’s threat to Elijah and his running away.
  • 1 Kings 21 is the story of Naboth’s vineyard.
  • 1 Kings 22:51 Ahab’s son becomes king.
  • 2 Kings 9:30 is when Jezebel was killed and eaten by dogs.
  • 2 Chronicles 22 – 23 is Athaliah’s brief and bloody rule over Judah.
