וַיִּתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֡ה אוֹתֹ֣ת וּ֠מֹפְתִים גְּדֹלִ֨ים וְרָעִ֧ים ׀ בְּמִצְרַ֛יִם בְּפַרְעֹ֥ה וּבְכָל־בֵּית֖וֹ לְעֵינֵֽינוּ׃
Yang Mahakekal mengadakan tanda-tanda dan mukjizat-mukjizat yang besar dan dahsyat terhadap Mesir, terhadap Firaun, dan terhadap seisi rumahnya, di depan mata kita.
Akeidat Yitzchak
Non obedience, or worse still, sarcasm as displayed by the officers and men of Achaziah, certainly made them liable to the death penalty at the hands of Elijah. The instrument used to impose the death penalty was symbolic, a reminder of the origin of the prophet's authority. Deuteronomy 6,22, stresses the uniqueness of the people having survived hearing the voice of G'd "out of the fire." Jewish history has shown that many of our people have become victims of the same false philosophies as Achaziah and the first two sets of fifty soldiers. Only the fate that had befallen that group had taught the third captain to recognise the futility of such philosophies, and that one must entrust oneself to the Almighty Himself, not to His agents. The essential thing is not to deny the very real function that these five forces represent, but to recognise that these functions are not the result of independent power, but are all controlled and supervised by the Eternal, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Good and intelligent people therefore entrust their affairs to the Creator Himself.
