| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: EXO 10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
them go.
EXO 10:28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to
thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou

EXO 10:29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face

EXO 11:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more
