God gave Pharaoh and the Egyptians the chance to first agree to a lesser request and gradually get used to the idea of letting the Israelites go. However, at the same time God gave the opportunity, God already knew, with certainty, the result of Pharaoh’s free agency. Today, God offers the wonderful opportunity of salvation to all, but God already knows the results of everyone’s free agency.
Kwa nini Mungu alitaka Musa aombe jambo hili dogo kwanza? Yaelekea kuwa haikuwa uongo bali neema. Mungu alimpa Farao na Wamisri nafasi ya kukubali ombi dogo na kujizoeza polepole kuwaacha Waisraeli waondoke.
