3But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac,
4and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
5Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and afterward I brought you out.
6When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea. 7So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.Cross References

| 1 | Exodus 3:10 | Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.” |
| 2 | Exodus 7:1–12 | The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt. And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.” So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent. ” So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts. Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs. |
| 3 | Psalms 105:26–36 | He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words. He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die. Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers. He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country. He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land. He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number. They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil. Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor. |
| 4 | Exodus 4:12–14 | Now go!

I know that he can speak well, and he is now on his way to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. |

He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet. He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning. He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.

Joshua 24:5 Summary
In Joshua 24:5, God reminds the Israelites of how He sent Moses and Aaron to lead them out of slavery in Egypt, and how He afflicted the Egyptians to bring about their freedom, as seen in Exodus 7-12. This event was a demonstration of God's power and love for His people, and it points forward to the even greater deliverance that God would provide through Jesus Christ, as seen in John 3:16. Just as God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, He can bring us out of our own difficulties and into a place of freedom and joy, as promised in Psalm 107:2. By remembering God's faithfulness in the past, we can trust Him to be faithful in the present and future, and give Him glory for all that He has done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God afflict the Egyptians?
God afflicted the Egyptians to demonstrate His power and to bring about the Israelites' freedom, as seen in Exodus 7-12, where God sent ten plagues upon Egypt, and in Joshua 24:5, where God says He afflicted the Egyptians by what He did there.
What role did Moses and Aaron play in God's plan?
Moses and Aaron were sent by God to Pharaoh to demand the release of the Israelites, and they were instrumental in the events that led to the Israelites' freedom, as recorded in the book of Exodus, particularly in Exodus 3-14.
What does it mean that God 'brought you out'?
When God says He 'brought you out', He is referring to the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt, as described in Exodus 12:31-42, where the Israelites were finally released from bondage and began their journey to the Promised Land.
How does this verse relate to God's covenant with Abraham?
This verse is part of a larger narrative that begins with God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and Genesis 15:1-21, where God promises to make Abraham's descendants a great nation, and is fulfilled in the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt and their possession of the Promised Land, as seen in Joshua 24:2-13.

- How does the story of the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt encourage you to trust God's plan for your life, even when things seem uncertain or difficult?
- What are some ways that you can remember and celebrate God's faithfulness in your life, just as the Israelites remembered their deliverance from Egypt in Joshua 24:5-7?
