Exodus 9:6

"The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.”"

Key Reflection

In Exodus 9:6, the Lord announces a precise timing for the ninth plague, instructing Moses and Aaron to inform Pharaoh that tomorrow the LORD will bring about this devastating judgment. The original audience would have understood this as a direct command from God, setting in motion a specific day for retribution against Egypt's stubborn rejection of divine authority, highlighting the sovereignty and precision of Yahweh's actions.
