Note 9 — Chapter III · CONCERNING MIRACLES—PARTICULARLY THE MIRACLES WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE DELIVERANCE OF THE ISRAELITES FROM BONDAGE IN EGYPT.
Reading edition
In accordance with the foregoing are the intimations given in the Bible of the design of the miracles of Egypt. By these exhibitions of Divine power God said—‘Ye,’ the Israelites, ‘and Pharaoh shall know that I am Jehovah.’
Miracles, moreover, were the evidence that Pharaoh required.—Ex. vii. 9, God said to Moses, that when he should present himself as the Divine legate, and Pharaoh should require a miracle, he should perform it accordingly.
In relation to the destruction of idolatry, the design of Jehovah is expressly announced (Ex. xii. 12), ‘Against all the Gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.’
