The Lord Will

Psalm 105:35

β€œAnd did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 105

Meaning

The consequence of the previous plague is explicit: the food-producing capacity of Egypt is devastated.

Israel in Egypt, Moses, and the signs of judgment

The psalm recounts Israel's growth, Egyptian hostility, the sending of Moses and Aaron, and the plagues culminating in the death of the firstborn.

Read carefully

Remembering judgment does not remove the biblical demand for compassion toward suffering people.

Reflection

Keep human need in view rather than reducing catastrophe to symbolism.
