Psalm 105:38
“Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
The oppressor's fear underscores how completely the power relationship has been reversed by the Exodus.
Exodus, wilderness provision, land, and the call to obedience
Israel departs Egypt, receives guidance and provision, enters the land, and is reminded that covenant gifts serve a life of obedience and praise.
Read carefully
The verse narrates Egypt's response in the Exodus; it does not prescribe intimidation.
Reflection
Do not assume abusive power is invincible.
