In the Exodus reading today, Exo 11:9-10 is a summary and conclusion of the result of the plagues. It turns out is a bookend, with plagues one through nine in the center (see the download for the expanded Chiastic structure). The central axis of plagues one through nine is Exo 9:13-21, the warning of the plague of hail:
YHVH glorified His name, the purpose of the signs and wonders. But how interesting that His mercy is heart and center of His glory, surrounded by His signs and wonders, the very thing we find as we are reading through Mark as well. When the children of Israel left Egypt, a mixed multitude went with them. There were Egyptians, and slaves of other nations as well, who learned that YHVH alone is God, who learned to regard the word of YHVH, and who joined themselves with the Israelites in service of YHVH, Creator of heaven and earth. It is all about bringing people who have strayed, who have been deceived by the deceiver, back into the Creator’s house!
