“And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.”
And the LORD shall smite Egypt; he shall smite and heal it; and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them—the pattern of judgment and healing, with the striking of Egypt designed to lead to repentance and healing. The return to the LORD and God's responsiveness to their prayers suggest that judgment serves redemptive purposes. This verse emphasizes the redemptive character of judgment.
