VAÉRA
Elohim reveals himself to Moshe. Using the "four
expressions of redemption," He promises to bring
the Children of Israel out of Egypt, redeem them
from their bondage, and then acquire them as His
chosen people at Mount Sinai; He would then take
them to the land He promised the patriarchs as His
eternal legacy.
Moshe and Aaron speak to Pharaoh repeatedly to
demand, in the name of Elohim, "Let My people go
out, that they may serve Me in the wilderness."
Pharaoh refuses every time. Aaron's staff becomes
a serpent and swallows the magic of Egyptian
sorcerers. Elohim sends a series of plagues upon
Egypt. The waters of the Nile River turn to blood; a
plague of frogs plagues the earth; lice infest all men
and beasts; hordes of wild animals invade the
cities; plague kills pets; Painful blisters afflict the
Egyptians.
The seventh plague, fire, and ice combine to
descend from the sky like devastating rain. Still,
"Pharaoh's heart hardened, and he would not let
the Children of Israel go, as Elohim had said to
Moshe.
