📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, which recounts the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt around the 13th century BC, God is demonstrating His power through a series of plagues to compel Pharaoh to release His people. In this specific moment during the fourth plague of flies, God assures Moses that He will create a clear boundary, sparing the Israelites from the swarms that afflict the Egyptians. This act underscores God's covenantal faithfulness to Israel and His sovereignty over all nations.
