Exodus 10:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 10:9

7 Then Pharaoh’s ^aservants said to him, “How long shall this man be ^ba snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. Who are the ones that are going?”

9 And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for ^awe must hold a feast to the Lord.”

10 Then he said to them, “The Lord had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you.

11 Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven ^aout from Pharaoh’s presence.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and ^beat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”

13 So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
