Exodus 8
1. Frogs are sent
8. Pharaoh complains to Moses, who by prayer removes them
16. The dust is turned into lice, which the magicians could not do
20. The plague of flies
25. Pharaoh inclines to let the people go, but yet is hardened














And the LORD did
This phrase emphasizes the sovereignty and faithfulness of God. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and unchanging nature. The action of the LORD in response to Moses' request highlights His active involvement in the affairs of His people and His power over creation. This demonstrates that God is not distant but intimately involved in the deliverance of His people, fulfilling His promises and executing His will.

as Moses requested
Moses, as the mediator between God and the Israelites, plays a crucial role in the unfolding of God's plan. The Hebrew root for "requested" is "za'aq," which can mean to cry out or call for help. This indicates Moses' reliance on God and his role as an intercessor. It also reflects the importance of prayer and supplication in the believer's life, showing that God listens to the cries of His people and responds according to His will.

and the frogs
Frogs were considered sacred in Egyptian culture, associated with the goddess Heqet, who was thought to assist in childbirth. The plague of frogs, therefore, was not just a nuisance but a direct challenge to the Egyptian deities, demonstrating the LORD's supremacy over all false gods. This act of judgment reveals God's power to disrupt the natural order to fulfill His purposes and to show that He alone is the true God.

in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields
The pervasive presence of the frogs in every part of Egyptian life symbolizes the totality of God's judgment. The Hebrew words for "houses," "courtyards," and "fields" indicate that no area was spared from the plague, illustrating the comprehensive nature of God's power and the inescapability of His judgment. This serves as a reminder that God's reach is all-encompassing, and His authority extends over every aspect of life.

died
The death of the frogs signifies the end of the plague, but it also serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God. The Hebrew word "muwth" for "died" is often used in the context of divine judgment. This event foreshadows the ultimate judgment that awaits those who oppose God's will. It also points to the mercy of God, who, despite the Egyptians' hard-heartedness, provides relief from the plague, demonstrating His patience and desire for repentance.

(13, 14) The frogs died.--God, who knew the heart of Pharaoh, and its insincerity, or at any rate its changefulness, took the plague of frogs away in a manner that made its removal almost as bad as its continuance. The frogs did not return into the river; neither were they devoured by flights of cranes or ibises. They simply died--died where they were--in thousands and tens of thousands, so that they had to be "gathered upon heaps." And "the land stank." In the great plague of frogs mentioned by Eustathius (see the comment on Exodus 8:1-4) it was the stench of the frogs after they were dead which caused the people to quit their country.

Verse 13. - The villages. The translation "courts" or "court-yards," is preferred by some. Houses in Egypt had generally a court-yard attached to them.
