What Does Psalms 105:28 Mean?
The ninth plague—darkness so thick it could be felt—was one of the most dramatic signs. Unlike the other plagues that had natural explanations (frogs from the river, hail during storms), this darkness was purely supernatural. God 'sent' and 'made it dark,' emphasizing his direct causation.
The phrase 'they rebelled not against his word' is cryptic. It may mean that Egypt did not rebel openly against God's demands during the darkness, or that the darkness forced Egypt to submit to God's word through Moses. The darkness broke resistance.
