Let the sinners be consumed

She was helping me get ready for work this morning. Lol

There are things well defined in Scripture and other things that are not. But it seems we often choose the lessor defined topics to divide over.

Ovadyah Ben Yisrael
From this week’s Torah portion:
What is a darkness so dark it can be felt?
(hint: the antithesis of this is in bold below)
“And YHWH said to Moshe, ‘Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.’ And Moshe stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but the children of Yisra’el had light in their dwellings.”
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim. All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

15 Bo – Day 4
Sh’moth 11:4-12:20
And Mosheh said, “Thus said YHWH, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim, and all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female servant who is behind the handmill, and all the first-born of cattle.
‘And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has never been or ever shall be again.
‘But against any of the children of Yisra’ěl no dog shall move its tongue, against man or against beast, so that you know that YHWH makes distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ěl.’
“And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure.
But YHWH said to Mosheh, “Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, in order to multiply My wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.”
And Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ěl go out of his land.
And YHWH spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying, “This new moon is the beginning of new moons for you, it is the first new moon of the year for you.
“Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ěl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this new moon each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.
‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ěl shall slay it between the evenings.
‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Pěsaḥ of YHWH.
‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall strike all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am YHWH.
‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Mitsrayim.
‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall celebrate it as a festival to YHWH throughout your generations – celebrate it as a festival, an everlasting law.
‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ěl.
‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you.
‘And you shall guard the Festival of Matzot, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the new moon, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the new moon in the evening.
‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ěl, whether sojourner or native of the land.
‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’”

Yochanan Ben Yisrael
Tehillah 94 - Day 4 (Yom Revi’y)
O YHWH, Ěl of vengeance; O Ěl of vengeance, shine forth!
Raise Yourself up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.
YHWH, how long are the wrong, How long are the wrong going to exult?
They pour forth words, They speak arrogantly; All the workers of wickedness boast in themselves.
They crush Your people, O YHWH, And they afflict Your inheritance.
They kill the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, “Yah does not see, And the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ pays no heed.”
Take heed, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when would you become wise?
He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
He who disciplines the nations, Does He not reprove – The One teaching man knowledge?
YHWH knows the thoughts of man, That they are but a breath.
Blessed is the man You discipline, O Yah, And instruct out of Your Torah, To give him rest from the days of evil, Until the pit is dug for the wrong.
For YHWH does not leave His people, Nor does He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment returns man to righteousness, And all the upright in heart follow it.
Who would rise up for me against evil-doers? Who would stand up for me against workers of wickedness?
If YHWH had not been my help, My being would soon have settled in silence.
When I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, O YHWH, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me, Your comforts delighted my being.
Would a throne of destruction, Which devises trouble by law, Be joined with You?
They band together against the life of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wrong.
But YHWH is my defense, And my Elohim the rock of my refuge, And brings back on them their own wickedness, And cuts them off in their own wrongdoing; YHWH our Elohim does cut them off.
Come, let us sing to YHWH! Let us raise a shout to the Rock of our deliverance.
Let us come before His face with thanksgiving; Let us raise a shout to Him in song.
For YHWH is a great Ěl, And a great King above all mighty ones.

And YHVH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
Exodus 11:3

Neither the Egyptians nor the Hebrews knew yet what the final plague would be, but the Egyptian people were already favorably disposed to give the Hebrews whatever they wanted. Only Pharaoh's heart remained hardened against them. In v7 even the animals were humbled before Israel and wanted them to go free. The dogs were more knowledgeable and obedient to God than was Pharaoh.
