Exodus chapter 11, verse 3.

And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians.

Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt,

in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

Isn't that an interesting verse?

Think about this.

This is the story of the final plague threatened among the people of Egypt.

So there's been plague after plague after plague, nine of them up to this point.

Disaster coming across Egypt.

And it's all because Pharaoh is refusing to soften his heart before God and let God's people go from slavery into the wilderness to worship him.

And so we come to this last plague.

The whole chapter begins in Exodus chapter 11, verse 1.

Yet one more plague, I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt.

Afterward, he will let you go from here.

And when he lets you go, he will drive you away completely.

And then, right after that, God says to Moses

in verse 2, speak now in the hearing of the people. They ask every man of his neighbor and every

woman of her neighbor for silver and gold jewelry. So God had promised this, that when he delivers

them out of Egypt, the Egyptians will send them out with gifts, with gold and silver, with all of these different things.

And then you get to verse three.

It says, the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians.
