Joshua 24:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:5

I sent Moses also and Aaron
To demand Israel's dismission of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to be the deliverers of them:

and I plagued Egypt according to that which I did amongst them;
inflicting ten plagues upon them for refusing to let Israel go:

and afterwards I brought you out;
that is, out of Egypt, with an high hand, and outstretched arm.

Joshua 24:5 In-Context

3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from the other side of the Euphrates River. I led him through all of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I also gave him Isaac.
4 To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the mountains in Seir as his own. However, Jacob and his sons went to Egypt.
5 "Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with plagues. Later I led you out.
6 When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, you came to the sea. The Egyptians with their chariots and horsemen chased your ancestors to the Red Sea.
7 When your ancestors cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He made the sea flow back and cover them. You saw for yourselves what I did to Egypt. Then you lived in the desert for a long time.
