What did the pagan Canaanites still talk about years later?
Years later, the pagan Canaanites in Palestine still talked about how the God of Israel dealt with Pharaoh and laid Egypt waste. They knew what had happened in Egypt after the plagues, and they spoke of how Israel’s God had destroyed Egypt.
Les explains that after the plagues struck Egypt, even though it was the ancient world and communication was not as speedy as ours, the report of what happened in Egypt spread across the then-known world. The Canaanites up in present-day Palestine knew what had happened down in Egypt, and years later they still talked about how the God of Israel dealt with Pharaoh and laid Egypt waste. Ancient history shows Egypt was in a shambles, with others coming in and taking it over, yet God did all this with Pharaoh to accomplish His sovereignty.
