Exodus 9:20
“Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.”
What does Exodus 9:20 mean?
When Moses warned of the coming hail plague, some of Pharaoh's own officials actually believed him—and they took the warning seriously enough to rush their servants and animals to safety indoors. This shows that even within Pharaoh's court, not everyone dismissed God's message, and faith sometimes moved people to protect those under their care, even at risk of angering their ruler. It's a quiet moment that reminds us belief can spark action, and that kindness to vulnerable people and animals matters even in the midst of conflict. These officials chose to honor what they understood to be true over blind loyalty to a king who kept refusing to listen.
