The Second Plague: Frogs

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, athat they may serve Me.  
2 But if you arefuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with bfrogs.  
3 So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your abedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.  
4 And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.” ’ ”
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, a‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’ ”  
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and athe frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.  
7 aAnd the magicians did so with their1 enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.  
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, a“Entreat the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people bgo, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”  
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.”

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
