<< Exodus 7 - Exodus 9 >> - HELP - GR VIDEOS - GR YOUTUBE - TWITTER - SD1 YOUTUBE 
1 Frogs are sent.
8 Pharaoh sues to Moses, who by prayer removes them away.
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.
VERSE 1
- Go.
* Jer 1:17-19; 15:19-21 Eze 2:6,7
- Let my. See on ch.
* Ex 3:12,18; 5:1; 7:16
VERSE 2
- refuse. See on ch.
* Ex 7:14; 9:2
- frogs.
The Hebrew {tzephardˆim} is evidently the same with the
Arabic {zafda,} Chaldaic {oordeƒnaya,} and Syriac {oordeai,}
all of which denote frogs, as almost all interpreters, both
ancient and modern, agree to render it; Bochart conceives,
from {tzifa,} a bank, and {radƒ,} mud, because of delighting
in muddy and marshy places.
* Ps 78:45; 105:30 Re 16:13,14
VERSE 3
- kneading troughs. or, dough.

VERSE 5
* Ex 7:19
VERSE 6
- and the frogs.
Whether the frog among the Egyptians was an object of
reverence or abhorrence is uncertain. It might have been
both at the same time, as many objects are known to have been
among particular nations; for proof of which see the very
learned Jacob Bryant, on the Plagues of Egypt, pp. 31-34.

VERSE 16
- Stretch.
* :5,17
- lice.
The word {kinnim} is rendered by the LXX. [ ,]
or [ ,] and by the Vulgate {sciniphes,} Gnats; and
Mr. Harmer supposes he has found out the true meaning in the
word {tarrentes,} a species of worm. Bochart, however, seems
to have proved that lice, and not gnats, are meant; because,
1. they sprang from the dust, and not from the waters; 2.
they were on both man and beast, which cannot be said of
gnats; 3. their name is derived from {koon,} to make firm,
fix, establish, which cannot agree with gnats, flies, etc.,
which are ever changing place, and almost constantly on the
wing; 4. the term {kinnah} is used by the Talmudists to
express the louse. This insect must have been a very
dreadful and afflicting plague to the Egyptians, and
especially to the priests, who were obliged to shave all
their hair off, and to wear a single linen tunic, to prevent
vermin harboring about them.

VERSE 21
- swarms. or, a mixture of noisome beasts, etc.
The word {arov} is rendered [ ,] the dog-fly, by
the LXX. (who are followed by the learned Bochart,) which
must have been particularly hateful to the Egyptians, because
they held dogs in the highest veneration, under which form
they worshipped Anubis.

How intolerable a plague of flies can prove, is evident from
the fact that whole districts have been laid waste by them.
The inhabitants have been forced to quit their cities, not
being able to stand against the flies and gnats with which
they were pestered. Hence different people had deities whose
office it was to defend them against flies. Among these may
be reckoned Baalzebub, the fly-god of Ekron; Hercules,
{muscarum abactor,} Hercules the expeller of flies; and hence
Jupiter had the titles of [ ,]
because he was supposed to expel flies, and especially clear
his temples of these insects. See Bryant.
