Exodus 8:7

Exodus 8:7

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.”

the magicians did so with their enchantments—required no great art to make the offensive reptiles appear on any small spot of ground. What they undertook to do already existed in abundance all around. They would better have shown their power by removing the frogs.
