Exodus 10:13

Compare all

11 Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven ^aout from Pharaoh’s presence.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and ^beat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”

13 So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

14 And ^athe locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; ^bpreviously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them.

15 For they ^acovered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ^bate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 10:13

The Lord brought an east wind - As locusts abounded in those countries, and particularly in Ethiopia, and more especially at this time of the year, God had no need to create new swarms for this purpose; all that was requisite was to cause such a wind to blow as would bring those which already existed over the land of Egypt. The miracle in this business was the bringing the locusts at the appointed time, and causing the proper wind to blow for that purpose; and then taking them away after a similar manner.
