. (Exodus 1:20-21)Also in Exodus 9, the Lord told Moses to tell the people He was sending another plague of the worst hailstorms. He told the people to bring their livestock in and everything else into their shelter. He told them if they didnt do this their livestock would surely die. Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. But those who ignored the word of the LORD left their slaves and livestock in the field. (Exodus 9:20) Afterwards the ones who feared God got to keep their livestock and the ones who didnt lost them.The Israelites also feared the Lord when the Lord saved them from the Egyptians at the Red Sea in Exodus 14:31. They feared Him so much that they put their trust in Him and in His servant Moses. Moses also feared the anger and the wrath of God. (Duet. 9:19) He feared Him so much that he went up on the mountain and prayed and fasted for forty days and forty nights because of all the sin the Israelites had committed. He knew the Lord was so angry with all of them and he feared God for what He would do to them..There are many characteristics and attributes of Humanity throughout the first five books of the Bible but the one that stood out the most to me was the fact that many people feared God. For if we fear God, only good things can come about us but if we do not fear God the wrath of God will be upon us. If we know God, we fear God but if we dont know God then we will not fear Him at all....
