In the story of the Exodus, this verse captures the dramatic and sorrowful climax of the plagues that God sent upon Egypt. The loud wailing represents the deep anguish and loss experienced by the Egyptians as a result of the final plague—the death of the firstborn. This event was unparalleled in its severity, marking a turning point in the struggle between Pharaoh's resistance and God's will to free the Israelites. The verse illustrates the profound impact of divine intervention and the fulfillment of God's promise to liberate His people from bondage. It also serves as a solemn reminder of the consequences of defying God's commands and the hope that comes with His deliverance. The narrative encourages believers to reflect on the power of God to bring about justice and redemption, even in the face of great adversity. It also highlights the importance of faith and obedience in the journey towards freedom and fulfillment of God's promises.
There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.
