Exalt the name of God on the earth

Exodus 9:1-21
Since last plague- Flies,The 4th plague, 5th signs. God said to Moses and say to Pharaoh.
Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
5th plague us on Livestock. but Load make a distinguish between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt. No animal belong to the Israelite die. all the livestock of Egyptians died.
6th: Plague of Boils, The magicians could not stand before Moses because boils broke out on them and on Egyptians.
7thL The Plague of Hail, God could have stretched out his hand and struck Egyptians off the earth, but God have raise Egyptian up for this very purpose- show you my power and my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Those officials of Pharaoh who afraid the word of the Load hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside, but those who ignored the word of the Load left their slaves and livestock in the field
Why?
Livestock is important to Israel, but it is holy animal to Egyptians and it is important to transportation and economics of Egypt. So God stuck to their livestock.
The plague of Boil let magicians could not stand before Moses, the boils broke on them. They could not get rid of it. may be pain and itch.
After 6 plagues from the Load, some of the official of Egypt afraid the words of Load, so they have action to avoid it, but some ignore God's word. For their heart were hardened.
The purpose of these a few plagues happened on Egyptian is show the power and God's name on the earth.
How?
Know God's mighty hand, make mighty power and God's name is holy and He is The God.
God hope his people say his words directly.
We need afraid the word of God, so as to respect and follow the decrees and laws of God, that is my sacrifice for God.
