Book of Exodus - Chapter 8 - Verse 23

8:23
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

Meaning

In this verse, God is speaking to Moses and telling him about the upcoming plague of flies that will be sent to Egypt. The division that God speaks of here refers to the separation that will be made between the Israelites, who are God's chosen people, and the Egyptians, who are not. This division serves as a clear distinction between those who belong to God and those who do not. By putting this division in place, God is showing his power and control over the situation, as well as demonstrating his protection over his people. The sign that is mentioned in the verse is a promise from God that this division will occur the next day as a clear indication of his authority. This verse highlights the theme of God's sovereignty and protection over his people, while also emphasizing the consequences of rejecting his authority and going against his will.
