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.

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

<< Exodus 10:1

Exodus 10:3 >>

And that thou mayest tell . . . of thy son, and of thy son's son, etc.—There was a further and higher reason for the infliction of those awful judgments, namely, that the knowledge of them there, and the permanent record of them still, might furnish a salutary and impressive lesson to the Church down to the latest ages. Worldly historians might have described them as extraordinary occurrences that marked this era of Moses in ancient Egypt. But we are taught to trace them to their cause: the judgments of divine wrath on a grossly idolatrous king and nation.
