Did the Egyptians see Mount Zion or Mount Sinai?

What did the Egyptians see through you? Mount Zion? Mount Sinai? Why God must harden the heart of the Pharaoh (great house)? From the previous post shared, we know Moses gave the wrong instruction in Exo 12:35. God said in Exo 11:2-3, speak in the ears of the people Not speak to the sons of Israel , And ask from their Neighbour Not from the Egyptians . Exo 11:2-3: 2 speak, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, and they ask -- each man from his neighbour, and each woman from her neighbour, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold.` 3 And Jehovah giveth the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians ; also the man Moses [is] very great in the land of Egypt , in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people. The Egyptians are the seige, they need deliverance.  Sons of Israel are God prevails, they have God the `I AM THAT WHICH I AM' , they don't need to ask from the Egyptians. Ask from the Egyptians the seige, the needed delivera

Did the plagues spoiled the Egyptians? Just realised I was prompted three days continuously on the topic spoiled the Egyptians 😌 a way out how to deliver the message without jumpers here and there that I had caught in for a week. 🤔 Partial?

The plagues are to smitten Egypt (the siege) that afterwards he doth send the drawn (the delivered) away. The Pharoah (great house) did believe Jehovah is God, but believed is one thing spoiled is another.  Believed doesn't mean spoiled. Spoiled means to snatch away, deliver, rescue, save, strip, plunder. Beside to show God's wonders that the people believe Jehovah is God, the plagues has one o

Acts 6:1-4: 1 And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration, 2 and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, `It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables; 3 look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity, 4 and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.` When I read these verses my understanding was, when church grow, the twelve (I believed refer to the twelve Jesus disciples) are not pleasing they have no time for the word of God because busy minister at tables.  They need another seven men to do the job. Then, something caught my sight in the subsequent verses Acts 6:5 and the word widows. Why widows? If the twelve can left the word of God b
