Story Time
Moses went with his brother Aaron to meet Pharaoh as the Lord commanded. They said to him,
"Thus said the Lord, let my people go out to the wilderness to worship me." Pharaoh said, "Who is the
Lord that I should heed His voice? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let the people go."
1. Who said, "I do not know the Lord and I will not let the people go?"
2. Mention one of Pharaoh's characteristics.

The Lord afflicted the Egyptians with ten plagues (the children study the following plagues:blood,
frogs, flies, the plague of cattle, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, the death of the first born). The servant
mentions that Pharaoh always asked Moses to pray to the Lord that He might deliver him and the Egyptians
out of the plagues. If Moses did that he would let the people go, but when the plagues were taken away
he broke his promise. God was patient withPharaoh. The servant concentrates on the positive aspect, i.e.
the Lord's care for His people and tells the children that the ten plagues were directed to the gods of the
Egyptians. So, we must love the Lord our God with all our hearts, with all our soul and with all our minds.
