Exodus 10:2

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

1 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh; ^afor I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, ^bthat I may show these signs of Mine before him,

2 and that ^ayou may tell in the hearing of your son and your son’s son the mighty things I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them, that you may ^bknow that I am the Lord.”

3 So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to ^ahumble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may ^bserve Me.

4 Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring ^alocusts into your territory.

5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and ^athey shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.

Exodus 10:2

That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son - That the miracles wrought at this time might be a record for the instruction of the latest posterity, that Jehovah alone, the God of the Hebrews, was the sole Maker, Governor, and Supporter of the heavens and the earth. Thus we find God so did his marvelous works, that they might be had in everlasting remembrance. It was not to crush the poor worm, Pharaoh, that he wrought such mighty wonders, but to convince his enemies, to the end of the world, that no cunning or power can prevail against him; and to show his followers that whosoever trusted in him should never be confounded.
