Their land teemed with frogs
Their land
This phrase refers to the land of Egypt, which is the setting for the plagues described in the Book of Exodus. The Hebrew word for "land" is "אֶרֶץ" (erets), which can mean earth, land, or country. In the context of the plagues, it emphasizes the widespread impact of God's judgment on the entire nation of Egypt. Historically, Egypt was a powerful and prosperous civilization, and the plagues served as a direct challenge to its gods and its perceived invincibility. The land, which was once a source of pride and sustenance, became a stage for divine intervention.

teemed
The Hebrew word used here is "שָׁרַץ" (sharats), which means to swarm or abound. This word conveys the overwhelming and uncontrollable nature of the plague. The use of "teemed" suggests a sudden and massive increase in the frog population, turning what might have been a minor nuisance into a significant crisis. This reflects the power of God to alter the natural order and demonstrates His sovereignty over creation. The swarming of frogs would have disrupted daily life, symbolizing the chaos that ensues when humanity defies divine will.

with frogs
Frogs, in the context of ancient Egypt, were associated with the goddess Heqet, who was depicted as a frog and symbolized fertility and renewal. The plague of frogs, therefore, was not just a physical nuisance but also a theological statement against the Egyptian pantheon. By inundating the land with frogs, God was demonstrating His supremacy over the Egyptian deities. The frogs, which were once considered sacred, became a source of distress, highlighting the futility of idol worship. This serves as a reminder of the first commandment, emphasizing the importance of worshiping the one true God.

Verse 30. - Their land brought forth frogs in abundance (Exodus 8:6). In the chambers of their kings (see Exodus 8:3; and comb. ver. 8).
