Exodus 8:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 8:8

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.”

10 So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that ^athere is no one like the Lord our God.

11 And the frogs shall depart from you, from your houses, from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”

12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses ^acried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.
