Then I sent Moses and Aaron

on Joshua 24:5-7

The darkness of verse 7 is the cloud of Exodus 14:20. Though those who watched died in the wilderness, Joshua tells this crowd, "Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians". Thirty-eight years then close in one line, "you lived in the wilderness for a long time".

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

I sent Moses also and Aaron,.... To demand Israel's dismission of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to be the deliverers of them: and I plagued Egypt according to that which I did amongst them; inflicting ten plagues upon them for refusing to let Israel go: and afterwards I brought you out; that is, out of Egypt, with an high hand, and outstretched arm.
