Exodus 9:30 Summary
[Exodus 9:30 tells us that Pharaoh and his officials did not fear the LORD our God, even after seeing many miracles and signs. This means they did not have a deep respect or reverence for Him, as we are called to have in Proverbs 1:7. Fearing God is not about being scared, but about acknowledging His power and authority in our lives, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:12-13. By fearing God, we can come to a place of deeper reverence and respect for Him, and live in obedience to His commands.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to fear the LORD our God?
Fearing the LORD our God means to have a deep respect and reverence for Him, acknowledging His power and authority, as seen in Exodus 9:30 and also in Proverbs 1:7, where it says that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.
Why does Moses say that Pharaoh and his officials do not fear the LORD our God?
Moses says this because, despite the many signs and wonders that the LORD has performed in Egypt, Pharaoh and his officials have still not acknowledged the LORD's authority and power, as mentioned in Exodus 9:30, and also in Exodus 8:15, where Pharaoh hardened his heart after seeing the miracle of the frogs.
How can we apply the concept of fearing the LORD our God to our own lives?
We can apply this concept by acknowledging God's sovereignty and authority in our lives, and by being obedient to His commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, where it says to fear the LORD our God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him.
What is the significance of Moses' statement in Exodus 9:30?
Moses' statement highlights the spiritual blindness of Pharaoh and his officials, who, despite witnessing the mighty works of God, have not come to a place of reverence and awe for the LORD our God, as also mentioned in Romans 1:20-21, where it says that people are without excuse for not acknowledging God's power and divine nature.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can demonstrate a healthy fear of the LORD our God in my daily life?
- How can I balance the concept of fearing God with the idea of God being a loving Father, as seen in 1 John 4:8?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be resisting or hardening my heart to God's will, like Pharaoh in Exodus 9:30?
- How can I cultivate a deeper reverence and respect for God's power and authority in my life, as seen in Psalm 111:10, where it says that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 9:30
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. Pharaoh ... I have sinned.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 9:30
Exodus 9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.Ver. 30. That ye will not yet fear.] Howbeit I will pray for you, and you shall feel the fruit of it. Thus God is good to "the just and the unjust."
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 9:30
30. that ye do not yet fear before (Haggai 1:12) Jehovah God] that ye do not yet really stand in awe of Him, so as to grant Israel’s release. The meaning is not ‘fear God’ in a religious sense, but ‘fear before’ Him, be afraid of Him. Jehovah God] The addition ‘God’ (not in LXX. however) emphasizes the fact that it was just Jehovah’s Godhead which the Pharaoh had failed to recognize. The combination is very unusual: elsewhere in the Pent. it occurs only (for a different reason) in Genesis 2:4 b–3.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 9:30
SEVENTH PLAGUE — THE HAIL, Exodus 9:13-35. The third triad of judgments is introduced with unusual formality and solemnity. Pharaoh was now a “vessel of wrath,” fit only for destruction. See note on Exodus 9:12.
