How do you write a question mark in Ktav Ivri
(aka Paleo-Hebrew)?
10
A Rhetorical Question?
There are no question marks in either Ktav Ivri
or Ktav Ashuri it is based on context
alone. Is it possible that Shemot 64 is a
rhetorical question?
11
A Rhetorical Question?
Bereshiyt/Genesis (ISR) 127-8 And ???? 
appeared to Ab_ram and said, To your seed I give
this land. And he built there an altar to ????,
who had appeared to him. 8 And from there he
moved to the mountain east of Beyth El, and he
pitched his tent, with Beyth El on the west and
Ai on the east. And he built there an altar to
????, and called on the Name of ????.
12
A Rhetorical Question?
Bereshiyt/Genesis 132-4(ISR) Gen 132 And Ab_ram
was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in
gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South
as far as Beyth El, to the place where his tent
had been at the beginning, between Beyth El and
Ai, 4 to the place of the altar which he had made
there at first. And there Ab_ram called on the
Name of ????.
13
A Rhetorical Question?
Bereshiyt/Genesis 2812-13 (ISR) 12 And he
dreamed and saw a ladder set up on the earth, and
its top reached to the heavens, and saw
messengers of Elohim going up and coming down on
it. 3 And see, ????  stood above it and said, I
am ????  Elohim of Ab_raham your father and the
Elohim of Yitsh?aq. The land on which you are
lying, I give it to you and your seed.
14
Not A Rhetorical Question?
Menachem Schneersons View The Patriarchs knew
of this Name, but did not experience its full
significance first hand, e.g. the 13 attributes
of mercy (Shemot 346). Monte Judahs View The
goal of the Exodus is to know (yada) ADONAI
intimately. The key to understanding the meaning
of Shemot 64 is Devarim/Deuteronomy 3410.

The Hardening of Pharaohs Heart
32
YHWH is Going to Harden the Heart

• Shemot 73-5 (Scriptures) But I am going to
  harden (qashah) the heart of Pharaoh, and shall
  increase My signs and My wonders in the land of
  Mitsrayim. 4 And Pharaoh is not going to listen
  to you, and I shall lay My hand on Mitsrayim, and
  bring My divisions and My people, the children of
  Yisrael, out of the land of Mitsrayim by great
  judgments. 5 And the Mitsrites shall know that I
  am ????, when I stretch out My hand on Mitsrayim.
  And I shall bring the children of Yisrael out
  from among them.

33
Pharaoh Hardened His Heart (again)

• Shemot 829-32 (Scriptures) And Mosheh said,
  See, when I leave you I shall pray to ????, and
  tomorrow the swarms of flies shall depart from
  Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people.
  But do not let Pharaoh again deceive, not to let
  the people go to slaughter to ????. 30 And
  Mosheh went out from Pharaoh and prayed to ????.
  31 And ????  did according to the word of Mosheh
  and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh,
  from his servants, and from his people. Not one
  remained. 32 But Pharaoh hardened (chavad) his
  heart at this time too, and did not let the
  people go.

34
They Hardened Their Hearts

• 1 Samuel 66 (NASB) "Why then do you harden your
  hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened
  (chavad) their hearts? When He had severely dealt
  with them, did they not allow the people to go,
  and they departed?

35
The Hardening of Pharaohs Heart
Shemot 10 1 (Scriptures) And ????  said to
Mosheh, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened
his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that
I show these signs of Mine before him
Shemot 4 21 (Scriptures) And ????  said to
Mosheh, As you go back to Mitsrayim, see that
you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I
have put in your hand. But I am going to harden
his heart, so that he does not let the people go.
Shemot 7 3 (Scriptures) But I am going to

YHWH. And so that at the Appointed Time Pharaoh
would Let My people go!
42
The Plagues

• Blood
• Frogs
• Swarms of Gnats/Fleas/Lice
• Swarms of Insects/Flies (or possibly mixed
  hordes of wild beasts)
• Livestock
• Boils
• Hail
• Locusts
• Darkness
• Death of the Firstborn

43
Necromancers

• Diviner, Magician, Engraver or Writer
• Possibly a writer of magic scrolls or spells

44

• Blood

Shemot 7 21 (Chabad Chumash) The fish in the
river died and the river became putrid, so that
the Egyptians were unable to drink water from the
river. There was blood everywhere in Egypt,
wherever the river water was drawn. The plague
also affected the river in Goshen, where the Jews
lived, in order that Pharaoh not have the
opportunity to say that the Nile, the Egyptian's
deity, was immune to God's plague there. The
people were, however, able to dig wells that
provided fresh water. This made it clear that the
object of the plague was only the Egyptians'
deity.
45

• Frogs

Shemot 8 2 (Chabad Chumash) Aaron raised his
hand over the waters of Egypt, and the swarm of
frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt in
the following way one frog emerged from the
water, but when the Egyptians struck it, it
miraculously split into many swarms. Frogs also
swarmed out of the river in Goshen, where the
Jews lived, again, in order that Pharaoh not have
the opportunity to say that the riverwhich was
the Egyptian's deitywas immune to God's plague
there.
46

• Lice

Shemot 8 14 (Chabad Chumash) The necromancers
tried likewise to bring forth lice from some
other source with their demon-conjuring
incantations, but they could not, for the demons
had no power over anything smaller than a
barleycorn, the minimum size a bone from a corpse
must be to carry defilement. The swarm of lice
remained on man and beast.
47

• Lice

Shemot 8 15 (Chabad Chumash) 15 The necromancers
said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God, and
not magic, for we cannot imitate it." But
nevertheless, since this plague was produced by
something Aaron did, Pharaoh rationalized that it
was done by some kind of magic, but that Moses
and Aaron were more skilled magicians than his
necromancers. So Pharaoh's heart stiffened and he
paid no heed to Moses and Aaron, just as God had
said.
48
Arov Swarms

• Exodus 821 (KJV) Else, if thou wilt not let my
  people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies
  upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy
  people, and into thy houses and the houses of
  the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies,
  and also the ground whereon they are.

Comment The KJV translators acknowledged that
flies is not directly in the Hebrew text.
49

• Huge Mixed Horde

Shemot 8 20 (Chabad Chumash) 20 But Pharaoh did
not heed Moses' warning, so, on Tishrei 8, 2448,
God did this, and a huge mixed horde of wild
beasts came upon the homes of Pharaoh and of his
courtiers throughout the land of Egypt the land
was devastated by the mixed horde of wild beasts.
Since Moses and Aaron did not perform a specific
act to cause this plague, the necromancers had no
illusions that it was performed by magic, and
therefore did not try to imitate it.
50
Swarms Which Ate Them

• Psalm 7844-48 (NASB) 44 And turned their rivers
  to blood, And their streams, they could not
  drink. 45 He sent among them swarms of flies
  which devoured them, And frogs which destroyed
  them. 46 He gave also their crops to the
  grasshopper And the product of their labor to the
  locust. 47 He destroyed their vines with
  hailstones And their sycamore trees with frost.
  48 He gave over their cattle also to the
  hailstones And their herds to bolts of lightning.

51
Swarms of Insects

• Exodus 820 (JPS99) And the LORD did so. Heavy
  swarms of insects invaded Pharaoh's palace and
  the houses of his courtiers throughout the
  country of Egypt the land was ruined because of
  the swarms of insects.

52

• Livestock Epidemic

Shemot 9 6 (Chabad Chumash) So Moses and Aaron
went to warn Pharaoh, but Pharaoh did not heed
their warning. Nonetheless, there were Egyptians
who had learned by now to take Moses seriously,
and they gathered their animals into their barns
and stables. Thus, when God did this thing the
next day, the 8th of Cheshvan, all the livestock
of the Egyptians that were left in the fields
died. But of the livestock of the Israelites not
a single animal died, even those in the fields.
Here, too, Moses and Aaron did not perform any
specific act to cause this plague, so the
necromancers did not try to prove that it was
magic by imitating them.
53

• Boils

Shemot 9 11 (Chabad Chumash) The necromancers
were therefore completely demoralized they could
not stand before Moses to challenge him because
the nature of this inflammation overthrew their
stance, for the inflammation had attacked the
necromancers together with all of Egypt. From
this point on, the necromancers no longer tried
to expose Moses as a magician, even when he did
seem to produce a plague by a specific action.
54

• Hail

Shemot 9 31-32 (Chabad Chumash) 31 The flax and
barley were crushed by the hail, since the barley
was ripe and the flax had formed stalks. 32 But
the wheat and spelt were not crushed, since they
are late in sprouting and were therefore still
pliable. They merely bent from the force of the
impact. Even so, it was a miracle that the hail
did not destroy them, too.
