Will I judge - , I will punish, for in this sense the Greek word is frequently taken. "When," says Bp. Pearce, "a malefactor is brought before a judge, the judge does three things:
1.he tries or judges him;
2.he then gives his judgment or sentence; and,
3.he puts the law in execution, and punishes him.
Hence , at different times, signifies each of these things; and the sense of the word is to be determined by the context. Here it signifies to punish, as is used for punishment, in Romans 13:2; I Corinthians 11:29, compared with I Corinthians 11:30, I Corinthians 11:31." The Egyptians, to whom the Israelites were in bondage, were punished by the ten plagues, described Exodus 7:19-12:30.
