Exodus 10:11
No! Have only the men go and worship the Lord, since that's what you have been asking for." Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh's presence.
Rebecca R. from Somewhere said:
This means to me that we put limitations on god and his words. As pharoh does here we have a tendency to make up our own rules on what god says and twist the words around so we can be allowed to do as we want without discrepancy. As pharoah said take the men that's what you ask for we say similar things knowing the truth is not just the men but everyone in this case. An example is though shalt not covet thy neighbors wife well one could say ohhh im exempt bc I'm not covering thy neighbors wife I'm covering their husband or making it so literal by saying ought they aren't my neighbor they just live in the same village. We have a tendency to try to get away with sin and make ourselves feel better about it by restricting gods rules by certain words and trying to get it so those rules don't apply to us so they don't matter and that makes us in the right with God. WRONG! god expects us to follow all the rules as he means them not as we want them to mean.
