Exodus 11:7

"There will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor will be any more."

Key Reflection

In Exodus 11:7, the Israelites are instructed to prepare for a devastating judgment upon Egypt, as the Lord will send a powerful plague that will result in a widespread and unprecedented cry of anguish throughout the land. This event would have been utterly shocking to the Egyptians, as they had not experienced anything like it before nor could foresee such suffering, indicating the magnitude of God’s divine retribution against Pharaoh for refusing to release the Israelites from slavery.
