The Plagues of Egypt. . 1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. 4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel. 5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. 7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. Here is, I. Warning given of another plague, namely, the murrain of beasts. When Pharaoh's heart was hardened, after he had seemed to relent under the former plague, then Moses is sent to tell him there is another coming, to try what that would do towards reviving the impressions of the former plagues. Thus is the wrath of God revealed from heaven, both in his word and in his works, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. 1. Moses puts Pharaoh in a very fair way to prevent it: Let my people go, Exodus 9:1 ; Exodus 9:1 . This was still the demand. God will have Israel released; Pharaoh opposes it, and the trial is, whose word shall stand. See how jealous God is for his people. When the year of his redeemed has come, he will give Egypt for their ransom; that kingdom shall be ruined, rather than Israel shall not be delivered. See how reasonable God's demands are. Whatever he calls for, it is but his own: They are my people, therefore let them go. 2. He describes the plague that should come, if he refused, Exodus 9:2 ; Exodus 9:3 . The hand of the Lord immediately, without the stretching out of Aaron's hand, is upon the cattle, many of which, some of all kinds, should die by a sort of pestilence. This was greatly to the loss of the owners: they had made Israel poor, and now God would make them poor. Note, The hand of God is to be acknowledged even in the sickness and death of cattle, or other damage sustained in them; for a sparrow falls not to the ground without our Father. 3. As an evidence of the special hand of God in it, and of his particular favour to his own people, he foretels that none of their cattle should die, though they breathed in the same air and drank of the same water with the Egyptians' cattle: The Lord shall sever, Exodus 9:4 ; Exodus 9:4 . Note, When God's judgments are abroad, though they may fall both on the righteous and the wicked, yet God makes such a distinction that they are not the same to the one that they are to the other. See Isaiah 27:7 . The providence of God is to be acknowledged with thankfulness in the life of the cattle, for he preserveth man and beast, Psalms 36:6 . 4. To make the warning the more remarkable, the time is fixed ( Exodus 9:5 ; Exodus 9:5 ): To-morrow it shall be done. We know not what any day will bring forth, and therefore we cannot say what we will do to-morrow, but it is not so with God. II. The plague itself inflicted. The cattle died, Exodus 9:6 ; Exodus 9:6 . Note, The creature is made subject to vanity by the sin of man, being liable, according to its capacity, both to serve his wickedness and to share in his punishment, as in the universal deluge. Romans 8:20 ; Romans 8:22 . Pharaoh and the Egyptians sinned; but the sheep, what had they done? Yet they are plagued. See Jeremiah 12:4 , For the wickedness of the land, the beasts are consumed. The Egyptians afterwards, and (some think) now, worshipped their cattle; it was among them that the Israelites learned to make a god of a calf: in this therefore the plague here spoken of meets with them. Note, What we make an idol of it is just with God to remove from us, or embitter to us. See Isaiah 19:1 . III. The distinction put between the cattle of the Egyptians and the Israelites' cattle, according to the word of God: Not one of the cattle of the Israelites died, Exodus 9:6 ; Exodus 9:7 . Does God take care of oxen? Yes, he does; his providence extends itself to the meanest of his creatures. But it is written also for our sakes, that, trusting in God, and making him our refuge, we may not be afraid of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, no, not though thousands fall at our side, Psalms 91:6 ; Psalms 91:7 . Pharaoh sent to see if the cattle of the Israelites were infected, not to satisfy his conscience, but only to gratify his curiosity, or with design, by way of reprisal, to repair his own losses out of their stocks; and, having no good design in the enquiry, the report brought to him made no impression upon him, but, on the contrary, his heart was hardened. Note, To those that are wilfully blind, even those methods of conviction which are ordained to life prove a savour of death unto death. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-8-12" class="com-number"

**이집트 재앙들** — 여기서 살펴볼 내용은 다음과 같다.
**I. 또 다른 재앙, 곧 가축의 돌림병에 대한 경고.** 바로가 이전 재앙을 받아 마음이 잠시 누그러지는 듯했다가 다시 굳어졌을 때, 모세는 또 다른 재앙이 임박했음을 전하러 보내진다. 이처럼 하나님의 진노는 하늘로부터 계시되는데, 말씀과 행하심 모두를 통해 사람의 모든 불경건함과 불의를 향해 나타난다.
1. 모세는 바로에게 재앙을 막을 수 있는 합당한 길을 제시한다. "내 백성을 보내라"(출 9:1). 이것이 여전히 하나님의 요구였다. 하나님은 이스라엘을 해방시키기를 원하시고 바로는 이에 맞서 버티는데, 누구의 말이 서게 될지 시험이 이루어지는 것이다. 하나님이 자기 백성을 위해 얼마나 열심을 내시는지 보라. 구속의 때가 이르면 하나님은 이집트를 그들의 몸값으로 치르실 것이다. 이스라엘이 구원받지 못하느니 차라리 그 나라가 망하는 편을 택하실 것이다. 하나님의 요구가 얼마나 합당한지 보라. 그분이 요구하시는 것은 오직 자신의 것뿐이다. "그들은 내 백성이다, 그러므로 보내라."
2. 만약 바로가 거부하면 어떤 재앙이 임하는지 설명한다(출 9:2-3). 이번에는 아론의 손을 펼치는 것 없이, 여호와의 손이 직접 들판의 가축들에게 임하여 각종 가축들이 돌림병으로 죽게 될 것이다. 이것은 주인들에게 큰 손실이 될 것인데, 그들이 이스라엘을 가난하게 만들었으므로 이제 하나님이 그들을 가난하게 만드실 것이다. 명심하라. 가축의 병들고 죽음, 또는 그로 인한 피해에도 하나님의 손을 인정해야 한다. 참새 한 마리도 우리 아버지의 허락 없이는 땅에 떨어지지 않기 때문이다.
3. 이것이 하나님의 특별한 손길임을 드러내고 그 백성에 대한 각별한 은총을 증거하기 위해, 이스라엘 백성의 가축은 이집트 가축과 같은 공기를 마시고 같은 물을 마시면서도 한 마리도 죽지 않을 것이라고 미리 알려주신다. "여호와가 구별하리라"(출 9:4). 명심하라. 하나님의 심판이 세상에 임할 때, 의인과 악인 모두에게 닥칠 수 있지만 하나님은 그것이 한쪽과 다른 쪽에 동일하지 않도록 구별하신다(사 27:7 참조). 하나님의 섭리는 가축의 생명에서도 감사함으로 인정되어야 한다. 그분이 사람과 짐승을 보존하시기 때문이다(시 36:6).
4. 경고를 더욱 뚜렷하게 하기 위해 때를 정해 주신다(출 9:5). "내일 이 일이 이루어지리라." 우리는 내일 무슨 일이 생길지 모르기 때문에 내일 무엇을 하겠다고 말할 수 없지만, 하나님은 그러하지 않으시다.
**II. 재앙 자체의 실행.** 가축이 죽었다(출 9:6). 명심하라. 피조물은 사람의 죄로 인해 헛됨에 굴복하게 되었다. 각자의 방식대로 사람의 악을 섬기기도 하고 그 형벌에 동참하기도 하는데, 이는 온 세상을 덮은 대홍수에서도 마찬가지였다(롬 8:20, 22). 바로와 이집트 사람들이 죄를 지었는데 양들이 무슨 잘못을 했는가? 그러나 그들도 재앙을 받았다. 예레미야 12:4을 보라. "땅의 악함으로 인해 짐승들이 사라진다." 이집트 사람들은 이후에도, 어쩌면 이때도, 가축을 숭배했다. 이스라엘이 이집트에서 금송아지를 만드는 법을 배운 것도 그들에게서였다. 그러므로 이 재앙은 그들에게 정확히 적중한 것이다. 명심하라. 우리가 우상으로 삼은 것을 하나님이 빼앗아 가시거나 쓴 것으로 만드시는 것은 정당하다(사 19:1 참조).
**III. 하나님의 말씀대로 이집트 가축과 이스라엘 가축 사이에 세워진 구별.** "이스라엘 자녀의 가축은 하나도 죽지 아니하였더라"(출 9:6-7). 하나님이 소들도 돌보시는가? 그렇다. 그분의 섭리는 가장 미천한 피조물에게까지 미친다. 그러나 이것은 우리를 위해서도 기록되었다. 하나님을 신뢰하고 그분을 피난처로 삼으면, 어두운 데서 다니는 전염병도 두려워하지 않을 수 있고, 수천 명이 우리 곁에 쓰러져도 두려워하지 않을 수 있다(시 91:6-7). 바로는 이스라엘 가축이 감염되었는지 확인하러 사람을 보냈는데, 양심을 만족시키기 위해서가 아니라 단지 호기심을 채우거나, 보복 삼아 그들의 가축에서 자기 손해를 메우려는 속셈이었을 것이다. 선한 의도 없이 한 확인이었기에 보고를 받아도 아무런 감동이 없었고, 오히려 그의 마음은 더욱 굳어졌다. 명심하라. 완고하게 눈을 감은 자들에게는 생명을 위해 주어진 확신의 수단조차 사망에 이르는 냄새가 된다.

출애굽기 9장에서는 이집트에 내린 세 가지 재앙을 다룬다. 첫째, 가축에게 내린 돌림병으로 가축이 떼죽음을 당한다(1-7절). 둘째, 사람과 짐승에게 생긴 종기다(8-12절). 셋째, 천둥과 번개를 동반한 우박이다. 1. 이 재앙에 대한 경고가 주어진다(13-21절). 2. 재앙이 실제로 내려 사람들을 크게 두려움에 빠뜨린다(22-26절). 3. 두려움에 사로잡힌 바로가 모세와 새로운 협약을 맺지만 곧 약속을 저버린다(27-35절).

8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. 10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. 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. 12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses. Observe here, concerning the plague of boils and blains, I. When they were not wrought upon by the death of their cattle, God sent a plague that seized their own bodies, and touched them to the quick. If less judgments do not do their work, God will send greater. Let us therefore humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, and go forth to meet him in the way of his judgments, that his anger may be turned away from us. II. The signal by which this plague was summoned was the sprinkling of warm ashes from the furnace, towards heaven ( Exodus 9:8 ; Exodus 9:10 ), which was to signify the heating of the air with such an infection as should produce in the bodies of the Egyptians sore boils, which would be both noisome and painful. Immediately upon the scattering of the ashes, a scalding dew came down out of the air, which blistered wherever it fell. Note, Sometimes God shows men their sin in their punishment; they had oppressed Israel in the furnaces, and now the ashes of the furnace are made as much a terror to them as ever their task-masters had been to the Israelites. III. The plague itself was very grievous--a common eruption would be so, especially to the nice and delicate, but these eruptions were inflammations, like Job's. This is afterwards called the botch of Egypt ( Deuteronomy 28:27 ), as if it were some new disease, never heard of before, and known ever after by that name, Note, Sores in the body are to be looked upon as the punishments of sin, and to be hearkened to as calls to repentance. IV. The magicians themselves were struck with these boils, Exodus 9:11 ; Exodus 9:11 . 1. Thus they were punished, (1.) For helping to harden Pharaoh's heart, as Elymas for seeking to pervert the right ways of the Lord; God will severely reckon with those that strengthen the hands of the wicked in their wickedness. (2.) For pretending to imitate the former plagues, and making themselves and Pharaoh sport with them. Those that would produce lice shall, against their wills, produce boils. Note, It is ill jesting with God's judgments, and more dangerous than playing with fire. Be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong. 2. Thus they were shamed in the presence of their admirers. How weak were their enchantments, which could not so much as secure themselves! The devil can give no protection to those that are in confederacy with him. 3. Thus they were driven from the field. Their power was restrained before ( Exodus 8:18 ; Exodus 8:18 ), but they continued to confront Moses, and confirm Pharaoh in his unbelief, till now, at length, they were forced to retreat, and could not stand before Moses, to which the apostle refers ( 2 Timothy 3:9 ) when he says that their folly was made manifest unto all men. V. Pharaoh continued obstinate, for now the Lord hardened his heart, Exodus 9:12 ; Exodus 9:12 . Before, he had hardened his own heart, and resisted the grace of God; and now God justly gave him up to his own heart's lusts, to a reprobate mind, and strong delusions, permitting Satan to blind and harden him, and ordering every thing, henceforward, so as to make him more and more obstinate. Note, Wilful hardness is commonly punished with judicial hardness. If men shut their eyes against the light, it is just with God to close their eyes. Let us dread this as the sorest judgment a man can be under on this side hell. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-13-21" class="com-number"

가축 재앙에도 감동받지 않자, 하나님은 그들 자신의 몸을 치는 재앙을 보내셔서 뼈저리게 느끼게 하셨다. 더 작은 심판이 일하지 않으면 하나님은 더 큰 것을 보내신다. 그러므로 우리는 전능하신 하나님의 손 아래 겸손히 엎드리고, 그분의 심판의 길에 나아가 그분을 맞이하여 그분의 진노가 우리에게서 돌이켜지게 해야 한다.
**I.** 이 재앙을 불러오는 신호는 화덕의 재를 바로 앞에서 하늘을 향해 뿌리는 것이었다(출 9:8, 10). 이것은 공기가 열기로 가득 차 이집트 사람들의 몸에 심한 종기를 일으킬 것임을 나타내는 행위였다. 재를 흩뿌리는 즉시 공기에서 끓는 이슬이 내려와 닿는 곳마다 물집을 만들었다. 명심하라. 때로 하나님은 사람에게 형벌 속에서 자신의 죄를 보여 주신다. 그들이 이스라엘을 화덕에서 억압하였으므로, 이제 화덕의 재가 일찍이 감독관들이 이스라엘에게 두려움이 되었던 것만큼 그들에게 두려움이 된 것이다.
**II.** 재앙 자체는 매우 혹독했다. 보통의 발진도 특히 섬세하고 민감한 사람들에게는 고통스럽겠지만, 이 발진은 욥의 것처럼 염증이었다. 이것은 이후에 "이집트의 종기"(신 28:27)라고 불렸는데, 마치 이전에 들어보지 못한 새로운 병으로 이후로도 그 이름으로 알려졌다. 명심하라. 몸의 종기는 죄에 대한 징벌로 여겨야 하며, 회개를 촉구하는 부름으로 들어야 한다.
**III.** 마술사들 자신도 종기에 걸렸다(출 9:11). 1. 이로써 그들은 벌을 받았다. (1) 바로의 마음을 굳게 하는 데 도움을 준 것 때문이다. 주의 올바른 길을 거스르려 했던 엘루마처럼, 하나님은 악인의 손을 강하게 한 자들을 엄히 다루실 것이다. (2) 이전 재앙들을 모방하려 하며 그것을 희롱거리로 삼은 것 때문이다. 이처럼 이를 내놓으려 했던 자들이 자기 의지와 무관하게 종기를 만들어냈다. 명심하라. 하나님의 심판을 희롱하는 것은 불을 가지고 노는 것보다 더 위험하다. 조롱하는 자가 되지 말라, 그렇지 않으면 결박이 강해지리라. 2. 이로써 그들은 추종자들 앞에서 수치를 당했다. 자기 자신조차 보호하지 못하는 주술이 얼마나 무력한가! 마귀는 자신과 결탁한 자들에게 아무런 보호도 제공할 수 없다. 3. 이로써 그들은 전장에서 물러날 수밖에 없었다. 그들의 능력은 이미 제지당했지만(출 8:18) 계속 모세와 맞서며 바로의 불신을 굳히다가, 이제 마침내 퇴각하지 않을 수 없었고 모세 앞에 설 수 없게 되었다. 사도 바울은 이것을 가리켜 그들의 어리석음이 모든 사람 앞에 드러났다고 말한다(딤후 3:9).
**IV.** 바로는 계속 완고하였다. "여호와께서 바로의 마음을 완악하게 하셨다"(출 9:12). 이전에 바로가 스스로 마음을 굳게 하며 하나님의 은혜를 거역하였는데, 이제 하나님이 그를 자기 마음의 욕망에 내버려 두시고, 부패한 마음과 강한 미혹에 넘겨 주신 것이다. 마귀가 그를 눈멀게 하고 굳게 하도록 허락하시며, 이후로는 모든 것이 그를 점점 더 완고하게 만들도록 섭리하셨다. 명심하라. 자발적인 완고함은 흔히 사법적 완고함으로 벌받는다. 사람이 빛에 눈을 감으면 하나님이 그 눈을 닫아 버리시는 것이 정당하다. 이것을 지옥 이 편에서 사람에게 임할 수 있는 가장 무서운 심판으로 두려워하자.

13 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: 21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field. Here is, I. A general declaration of the wrath of God against Pharaoh for his obstinacy. Though God has hardened his heart ( Exodus 9:12 ; Exodus 9:12 ), yet Moses must repeat his applications to him; God suspends his grace and yet demands obedience, to punish him for requiring bricks of the children of Israel when he denied them straw. God would likewise show forth a pattern of long-suffering, and how he waits to be gracious to a rebellious and gainsaying people Six times the demand had been made in vain, yet Moses must make it the seventh time: Let my people go, Exodus 9:13 ; Exodus 9:13 . A most dreadful message Moses is here ordered to deliver to him, whether he will hear or whether he will forbear. 1. He must tell him that he is marked for ruin, that he now stands as the butt at which God would shoot all the arrows of his wrath, Exodus 9:14 ; Exodus 9:15 . "Now I will send all my plagues. " Now that no place is found for repentance in Pharaoh, nothing can prevent his utter destruction, for that only would have prevented it. Now that God begins to harden his heart, his case is desperate. "I will send my plagues upon thy heart, not only temporal plagues upon thy body, but spiritual plagues upon thy soul." Note, God can send plagues upon thy soul." Note, God can send plagues upon the heart, either by making it senseless or by making it hopeless--and these are the worst plagues. Pharaoh must now expect no respite, no cessation of arms, but to be followed with plague upon plague, till he is utterly consumed. Note, When God judges he will overcome; none ever hardened his heart against him and prospered. 2. He must tell him that he is to remain in history a standing monument of the justice and power of God's wrath ( Exodus 9:16 ; Exodus 9:16 ): " For this cause have I raised thee up to the throne at this time, and made thee to stand the shock of the plagues hitherto, to show in thee my power. " Providence ordered it so that Moses should have a man of such a fierce and stubborn spirit as he was to deal with; and every thing was so managed in this transaction as to make it a most signal and memorable instance of the power God has to humble and bring down the proudest of his enemies. Every thing concurred to signalize this, that God's name (that is, his incontestable sovereignty, his irresistible power, and his inflexible justice) might be declared throughout all the earth, not only to all places, but through all ages while the earth remains. Note, God sometimes raises up very bad men to honour and power, spares them long, and suffers them to grow insufferably insolent, that he may be so much the more glorified in their destruction at last. See how the neighbouring nations, at that time, improved the ruin of Pharaoh to the glory of God. Jethro said upon it, Now know I that the Lord is greater than all gods, Exodus 18:11 ; Exodus 18:11 . The apostle illustrates the doctrine of God's sovereignty with this instance, Romans 9:17 . To justify God in these resolutions, Moses is directed to ask him ( Exodus 9:17 ; Exodus 9:17 ), As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people? Pharaoh was a great king; God's people were poor shepherds at the best, and now poor slaves; and yet Pharaoh shall be ruined if he exalt himself against them, for it is considered as exalting himself against God. This was not the first time that God reproved kings for their sakes, and let them know that he would not suffer his people to be trampled upon and insulted, no, not by the most powerful of them. II. A particular prediction of the plague of hail ( Exodus 9:18 ; Exodus 9:18 ), and a gracious advice to Pharaoh and his people to send for their servants and cattle out of the field, that they might be sheltered from the hail, Exodus 9:19 ; Exodus 9:19 . Note, When God's justice threatens ruin his mercy, at the same time, shows us a way of escape from it, so unwilling is he that any should perish. See here what care God took, not only to distinguish between Egyptians and Israelites, but between some Egyptians and others. If Pharaoh will not yield, and so prevent the judgment itself, yet an opportunity is given to those that have any dread of God and his word to save themselves from sharing in the judgment. Note, Those that will take warning may take shelter; and those that will not may thank themselves if they fall by the overflowing scourge, and the hail which will sweep away the refuge of lies, Isaiah 28:17 . See the different effect of this warning. 1. Some believed the things that were spoken, and they feared, and housed their servants and cattle ( Exodus 9:20 ; Exodus 9:20 , like Noah ( Hebrews 11:7 ), and it was their wisdom. Even among the servants of Pharaoh there were some that trembled at God's word; and shall not the sons of Israel dread it? But, 2. Others believed not: though, whatever plague Moses had hitherto foretold, the event exactly answered to the prediction; and though, if they had had any reason to question this, it would have been no great damage to them to have kept their cattle in the house for one day, and so, supposing it a doubtful case, to have chosen the surer side; yet they were so foolhardy as in defiance to the truth of Moses, and the power of God (of both which they had already had experience enough, to their cost), to leave their cattle in the field, Pharaoh himself, it is probable, giving them an example of the presumption, Exodus 9:21 ; Exodus 9:21 . Note, Obstinate infidelity, which is deaf to the fairest warnings and the wisest counsels, leaves the blood of those that perish upon their own heads. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-22-35" class="com-number"

**I. 바로의 완고함에 대한 하나님의 진노 선언.** 하나님이 그의 마음을 굳게 하셨지만(출 9:12) 모세는 계속 그에게 나아가야 한다. 하나님은 은혜를 거두시면서도 순종을 요구하신다. 이는 바로가 이스라엘에게 짚도 주지 않으면서 벽돌을 요구한 것에 대한 형벌이다. 하나님은 또한 오래 참으심의 본을 보여 주시려 하신다. 반역하고 거역하는 백성에게 얼마나 기다리며 은혜 베풀기를 원하시는지 보여 주시는 것이다. 이미 여섯 번 헛되이 요구하셨건만 모세는 일곱 번째로 다시 나아가야 한다. "내 백성을 보내라"(출 9:13). 모세는 바로가 듣든 듣지 않든 참으로 두려운 메시지를 전해야 한다.
1. 바로가 파멸로 지정되었음을 알려야 한다. 그가 하나님의 모든 진노의 화살이 겨냥하는 과녁이 되었다는 것이다(출 9:14-15). "이제 내가 모든 재앙을 보내리라." 바로에게 더 이상 회개할 자리가 없으므로, 오직 그것만이 그의 완전한 파멸을 막을 수 있었는데 이제는 아무것도 막지 못한다. 하나님이 그의 마음을 굳게 하기 시작하셨으니 그의 경우는 절망적이다. "내가 재앙을 네 마음에 보내리니, 단지 몸에 임하는 시간적 재앙뿐 아니라 네 영혼에 임하는 영적 재앙도 보내리라." 명심하라. 하나님은 마음에 재앙을 보내실 수 있는데, 그것을 무감각하게 만들거나 절망하게 만드는 것이다. 이것이 가장 나쁜 재앙이다. 바로는 이제 유예도 없고 휴전도 없이, 완전히 소멸될 때까지 재앙에 재앙이 이어질 것을 기대해야 한다. 명심하라. 하나님이 심판하실 때는 반드시 이기신다. 그분께 맞서 마음을 굳게 하고 번성한 자는 아무도 없다.
2. 바로가 하나님 진노의 공의와 능력을 역사 속에 영구히 기념하는 표석으로 남겨질 것임을 알려야 한다(출 9:16). "이를 위해 내가 너를 세웠나니, 내가 네 안에서 능력을 나타내려 함이라." 섭리는 모세가 이처럼 맹렬하고 완고한 사람을 상대하도록 하셨고, 이 사건의 모든 것은 하나님이 교만한 원수를 얼마나 겸손하게 하고 낮추실 수 있는지를 보여 주는 가장 탁월한 사례가 되도록 운영되었다. 이 모든 것이 하나님의 이름(그분의 절대 주권·저항할 수 없는 능력·굽히지 않는 공의)이 온 땅에 선포되게 하려 함이었다. 지금뿐 아니라 땅이 남아 있는 모든 세대에 걸쳐서. 명심하라. 하나님은 때로 매우 악한 사람들을 권세와 영화의 자리로 올리시고, 오래 참으시며, 참을 수 없을 만큼 거만하게 내버려 두셨다가, 마침내 그들의 파멸에서 더욱 큰 영광을 받으신다. 당시 이웃 나라들이 바로의 멸망에서 하나님께 영광을 돌린 것을 보라. 이드로는 "이제 여호와가 모든 신보다 크신 줄을 내가 알았노라"고 말했다(출 18:11). 사도 바울은 하나님의 주권 교리를 설명하면서 이 사례를 든다(롬 9:17). 이 결정들에서 하나님을 변호하기 위해, 모세는 바로에게 묻도록 지시받는다(출 9:17). "네가 어찌하여 내 백성 앞에 스스로 높이느냐?" 바로는 위대한 왕이었고 하나님의 백성은 기껏해야 가난한 목자들이요 이제는 가련한 노예들이었다. 그러나 바로가 그들을 업신여기면 망할 것이니, 그것은 하나님을 대적하여 스스로 높이는 것으로 여겨지기 때문이다.
**II. 우박 재앙에 대한 구체적 예고와 자비로운 권고.** 바로와 백성에게 미리 알려주어 들판의 종들과 가축을 거두어들이도록 하였다(출 9:18-19). 명심하라. 하나님의 공의가 멸망을 위협할 때, 그분의 자비는 동시에 피할 길을 보여 준다. 그분은 아무도 멸망하지 않기를 바라신다. 하나님이 이집트 사람들과 이스라엘 사람들을 구별하셨을 뿐 아니라, 일부 이집트 사람들을 다른 이집트 사람들과도 구별하셨음을 보라. 바로가 굴복하여 재앙 자체를 막지 않더라도, 하나님의 말씀을 어느 정도 두려워하는 사람들에게는 재앙에서 자신을 구할 기회가 주어졌다. 명심하라. 경고를 받아들이는 자는 피난처를 얻을 수 있다. 받아들이지 않는 자는 넘쳐흐르는 채찍에 쓸려가도 자기 자신을 탓할 뿐이다. 거짓의 피난처를 쓸어 버리는 우박처럼(사 28:17). 이 경고의 서로 다른 반응을 보라.
1. 어떤 이들은 전해진 말을 믿어 두려워하며 종들과 가축을 집으로 불러들였다(출 9:20). 노아처럼(히 11:7) 이것이 그들의 지혜였다. 바로의 신하들 중에도 하나님의 말씀 앞에 떠는 자들이 있었는데, 이스라엘 자녀들이 하나님의 말씀을 두려워하지 않겠는가?
2. 그러나 믿지 않은 자들도 있었다. 모세가 예언한 것마다 정확히 그대로 이루어졌음을 경험하였음에도, 설령 이것이 의심스럽다고 해도 하루 동안 가축을 집에 두는 것이 그리 큰 손실이 아니었음에도, 그들은 하나님의 능력을 무시하고 대담하게 가축을 들판에 내버려 두었다(출 9:21). 바로 자신이 이 방자함의 본보기를 보여 주었을 것이다. 명심하라. 가장 공정한 경고와 가장 지혜로운 권고에도 귀를 막는 완고한 불신앙은, 멸망한 자들의 피 책임을 그들 자신의 머리에 돌린다.

22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. 27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 28 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD ; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD 's. 30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God. 31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up. 33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD : and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses. The threatened plague of hail is here summoned by the powerful hand and rod of Moses ( Exodus 9:22 ; Exodus 9:23 ), and it obeys the summons, or rather the divine command; for fire and hail fulfil God's word, Psalms 148:8 . And here we are told, I. What desolations it made upon the earth. The thunder, and fire from heaven (or lightning), made it both the more dreadful and the more destroying, Exodus 9:23 ; Exodus 9:24 . Note, God makes the clouds, not only his store-houses whence he drops fatness on his people, but his magazines whence, when he pleases, he can draw out a most formidable train of artillery, with which to destroy his enemies. He himself speaks of the treasures of hail which he hath reserved against the day of battle and war, Job 38:22 ; Job 38:23 . Woeful havoc this hail made in the land of Egypt. It killed both men and cattle, and battered down, not only the herbs, but the trees, Exodus 9:25 ; Exodus 9:25 . The corn that was above ground was destroyed, and that only preserved which as yet had not come up, Exodus 9:31 ; Exodus 9:32 . Note, God has many ways of taking away the corn in the season thereof ( Hosea 2:9 ), either by a secret blasting, or a noisy hail. In this plague the hot thunderbolts, as well as the hail, are said to destroy their flocks, Psalms 78:47 ; Psalms 78:48 ; and see Psalms 105:32 ; Psalms 105:33 . Perhaps David alludes to this when, describing God's glorious appearances for the discomfiture of his enemies, he speaks of the hailstones and coals of fire he threw among them, Psalms 18:12 ; Psalms 18:13 . And there is a plan reference to it on the pouring out of the seventh vial, Revelation 16:21 . Notice is here taken ( Exodus 9:26 ; Exodus 9:26 ) of the land of Goshen's being preserved from receiving any damage by this plague. God has the directing of the pregnant clouds, and causes it to rain or hail on one city and not on another, either in mercy or in judgment. II. What a consternation it put Pharaoh in. See what effect it had upon him, 1. He humbled himself to Moses in the language of a penitent, Exodus 9:27 ; Exodus 9:28 . No man could have spoken better. He owns himself on the wrong side in his contest with the God of the Hebrews: " I have sinned in standing it out so long." He owns the equity of God's proceedings against him: The Lord is righteous, and must be justified when he speaks, though he speak in thunder and lightning. He condemns himself and his land: " I and my people are wicked, and deserve what is brought upon us." He begs the prayers of Moses: " Entreat the Lord for me, that this direful plague may be removed." And, lastly, he promises to yield up his prisoners: I will let you go. What could one desire more? And yet his heart was hardened all this while. Note, The terror of the rod often extorts penitent acknowledgments from those who have no penitent affections; under the surprise and smart of affliction, they start up, and say that which is pertinent enough, not because they are deeply affected, but because they know that they should be and that it is meet to be said. 2. Moses, hereupon, becomes an intercessor for him with God. Though he had all the reason in the world to think that he would immediately repent of his repentance, and told him so ( Exodus 9:30 ; Exodus 9:30 ), yet he promises to be this friend in the court of heaven. Note, Even those whom we have little hopes of, yet we should continue to pray for, and to admonish, 1 Samuel 12:23 . Observe, (1.) The place Moses chose for his intercession. He went out of the city ( Exodus 9:33 ; Exodus 9:33 ), not only for privacy in his communion with God, but to show that he durst venture abroad into the field, notwithstanding the hail and lightning which kept Pharaoh and his servants withindoors, knowing that every hail-stone had its direction from his God, who meant him no hurt. Note, Peace with God makes men thunderproof, for thunder is the voice of their Father. (2.) The gesture: He spread abroad his hands unto the Lord --an outward expression of earnest desire and humble expectation. Those that come to God for mercy must stand ready to receive it. (3.) The end Moses aimed at in interceding for him: That thou mayest know, and be convinced, that the earth is the Lord's ( Exodus 9:29 ; Exodus 9:29 ), that is, that God has a sovereign dominion over all the creatures, that they all are ruled by him, and therefore that thou oughtest to be so. See what various methods God uses to bring men to their proper senses. Judgments are sent, judgments removed, and all for the same end, to make men know that he Lord reigns. (4.) The success of it. [1.] He prevailed with God, Exodus 9:33 ; Exodus 9:33 . But, [2.] He could not prevail with Pharaoh: He sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, Exodus 9:34 ; Exodus 9:35 . The prayer of Moses opened and shut heaven, like Elias's ( James 5:17 ; James 5:18 ), and such is the power of God's two witnesses ( Revelation 11:6 ); yet neither Moses nor Elias, nor those two witnesses, could subdue the hard hearts of men. Pharaoh was frightened into a compliance by the judgment, but, when it was over, his convictions vanished, and his fair promises were forgotten. Note, Little credit is to be given to confessions upon the rack. Note also, Those that are not bettered by judgments and mercies are commonly made worse. return to ' Top of Page ' Exodus Exo 8 Exodus Exo Exodus Exo 10 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
모세의 손과 지팡이의 권능 있는 명령으로 우박 재앙이 소환되고(출 9:22-23), 재앙은 그 명령에, 아니 하나님의 명령에 순종한다. 불과 우박이 하나님의 말씀을 이루기 때문이다(시 148:8). 여기서 우리에게 전해지는 것은 다음과 같다.
**I. 우박이 땅에 끼친 황폐함.** 천둥과 하늘에서 내린 불(번개)이 재앙을 더욱 두렵고 파괴적으로 만들었다(출 9:23-24). 명심하라. 하나님은 구름을 자기 백성에게 기름짐을 떨어뜨리는 창고로만 삼지 않으신다. 원하실 때는 원수들을 멸하기 위한 강력한 무기고로도 삼으신다. 그분 스스로 전쟁의 날을 위해 쌓아 두신 우박의 보물 창고에 대해 말씀하신다(욥 38:22-23). 이 우박은 이집트 땅에 참혹한 파괴를 가져왔다. 사람과 짐승을 죽이고 풀뿐 아니라 나무들도 꺾어 버렸다(출 9:25). 이미 싹이 난 곡식은 망가졌고, 아직 나오지 않은 것만 보존되었다(출 9:31-32). 명심하라. 하나님은 곡식의 때에 곡식을 빼앗아 가는 방법이 많다(호 2:9). 은밀한 시들음도 있고 요란한 우박도 있다. 이 재앙에서 뜨거운 벼락도 우박과 함께 가축을 죽였고(시 78:47-48; 105:32-33), 다윗도 원수들을 흩으시는 하나님의 영광스러운 나타나심을 묘사할 때 이를 암시한다(시 18:12-13). 일곱째 대접이 부어질 때도 이에 대한 분명한 언급이 있다(계 16:21). 고센 땅이 이 재앙으로 아무런 피해를 입지 않았다는 것도 주목된다(출 9:26). 하나님은 비와 우박을 조종하셔서 어느 성에는 내리고 다른 성에는 내리지 않게 하신다. 자비로도 심판으로도.
**II. 바로가 얼마나 큰 공포에 빠졌는가.** 이것이 그에게 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 보라.
1. 그는 회개하는 자의 언어로 모세 앞에 겸손히 엎드렸다(출 9:27-28). 이보다 더 잘 말할 수는 없었다. 그는 히브리인의 하나님과의 다툼에서 자기가 틀렸음을 인정했다. "내가 이토록 오래 버텨 죄를 지었습니다." 그는 하나님의 처사의 공의를 인정했다. "여호와는 의로우시고 나와 내 백성은 악합니다." 자기와 자기 나라를 정죄했다. 모세의 기도를 구했다. "여호와께 간구하여 이 무서운 재앙을 거두어 달라." 마지막으로 포로를 돌려보내겠다고 약속했다. "내가 당신들을 보내리라." 이보다 더 무엇을 바랄 수 있겠는가? 그러나 그의 마음은 이 모든 동안 굳어 있었다. 명심하라. 형벌의 두려움은 흔히 마음에 참된 회개의 감정은 없으면서 회개의 고백을 억지로 끌어낸다. 고통과 놀라움 속에서 사람들은 불쑥 일어나 합당한 말을 하는데, 깊이 감동받아서가 아니라 그렇게 말해야 한다는 것을 알고 그렇게 말해야 마땅하기 때문이다.
2. 모세는 이에 하나님 앞에 그를 위한 중보자가 된다. 그가 즉시 회개를 후회하리라고 판단할 모든 이유가 있었고 실제로 그렇게 말했지만(출 9:30), 그는 여전히 천상 법정에서 그의 친구가 되겠다고 약속한다. 명심하라. 거의 희망이 없는 자들도 우리는 계속 기도하고 권면해야 한다(삼상 12:23). 주목하라.
(1.) 모세가 중보를 위해 선택한 장소: 그는 성 밖으로 나갔다(출 9:33). 하나님과의 교제에서 조용함을 얻기 위해서뿐 아니라, 우박과 번개가 바로와 신하들을 집안에 가두고 있는데도 자신은 담대히 들판으로 나갈 수 있음을 보이기 위해서였다. 모든 우박 덩어리는 자신의 하나님으로부터 방향을 받는데, 그 하나님은 자기에게 해를 끼치려 하지 않으신다는 것을 알았기 때문이다. 명심하라. 하나님과의 화평은 사람을 천둥 앞에 두려움 없게 한다. 천둥은 아버지의 음성이기 때문이다.
(2.) 자세: 그는 여호와를 향해 손을 펼쳤다. 간절한 소망과 겸손한 기대의 외적 표현이다. 하나님께 자비를 구하러 오는 자는 그것을 받을 준비가 되어 서 있어야 한다.
(3.) 모세가 중보에서 목표한 바: "네가 알게 하려 함이니라. 온 땅이 여호와의 것임을 알게 하려 함이라"(출 9:29). 곧 하나님이 모든 피조물에 대해 절대 주권을 가지시며, 모든 것이 그분의 다스림을 받는다는 것이다. 그러므로 너도 그래야 한다. 하나님이 사람들을 제정신으로 돌이키기 위해 얼마나 다양한 방법을 쓰시는지 보라. 심판이 보내지고 심판이 거두어지는 것 모두 같은 목적, 곧 사람들이 여호와가 통치하신다는 것을 알게 하기 위함이다.
(4.) 중보의 결과. [1.] 그는 하나님을 이겼다(출 9:33). 그러나 [2.] 바로를 이기지는 못했다. "그가 다시 죄를 지어 마음을 굳게 하였다"(출 9:34-35). 모세의 기도는 엘리야처럼 하늘을 열고 닫았고(약 5:17-18), 하나님의 두 증인들에게도 이런 능력이 있다(계 11:6). 그러나 모세도 엘리야도 그 두 증인도 사람들의 굳은 마음을 정복하지는 못했다. 바로는 재앙에 겁먹어 순종하는 척했지만, 재앙이 지나자 확신도 사라지고 아름다운 약속도 잊혀 버렸다. 명심하라. 고문의 자리에서 한 고백은 거의 믿을 수 없다. 또한 명심하라. 심판과 자비로도 더 나아지지 않는 자는 흔히 더욱 나빠진다.
