SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:31
Y el SEÑOR hizo conforme a la palabra de Moisés; y quitó todas aquellas moscas del Faraón, y de sus siervos, y de su pueblo, sin que quedara una.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 8:31
Verse 31. The Lord did according to the word of Moses] How powerful is prayer! God permits his servant to prescribe even the manner and time in which he shall work. He removed the swarms] Probably by means of a strong wind, which swept them into the sea.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-32 - Pharaoh was early at his false devotions to the river; and shall we be for more sleep and more slumber, when any service to the Lord is to be done? The Egyptians and the Hebrews were to be marked in the plague of flies. The Lord knows them that are his, and will make it appear perhaps in this world, certainly in the other, that he has set the apart for himself. Pharaoh unwillingly entered into a treaty with Mose and Aaron. He is content they should sacrifice to their God, provide they would do it in the land of Egypt. But it would be an abominatio to God, should they offer the Egyptian sacrifices; and it would be a abomination to the Egyptians, should they offer to God the objects of the worship of the Egyptians, namely, their calves or oxen. Those wh would offer acceptable sacrifice to God, must separate themselves from the wicked and profane. They must also retire from the world. Israe cannot keep the feast of the Lord, either among the brick-kilns or among the flesh-pots of Egypt. And they must sacrifice as God shal command, not otherwise. Though they were in slavery to Pharaoh, ye they must obey God's commands. Pharaoh consents for them to go into the wilderness, provided they do not go so far but that he might fetch the back again. Thus, some sinners, in a pang of conviction, part with their sins, yet are loth they should go very far away; for when the fright is over, they will turn to them again. Moses promised the removal of this plague. But let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more Be not deceived; God is not mocked: if we think to cheat God by a sha repentance and a false surrender of ourselves to him, we shall put fatal cheat upon our own souls. Pharaoh returned to his hardness Reigning lusts break through the strongest bonds, and make men presum and go from their word. Many seem in earnest, but there is some reserve, some beloved, secret sin. They are unwilling to look upo themselves as in danger of everlasting misery. They will refrain from other sins; they do much, give much, and even punish themselves much They will leave it off sometimes, and, as it were, let their sin depar a little way; but will not make up their minds to part with all an follow Christ, bearing the cross. Rather than that, they venture all They are sorrowful, but depart from Christ, determined to keep the world at present, and they hope for some future season, when salvatio may be had without such costly sacrifices; but, at length, the poor sinner is driven away in his wickedness, and left without hope to lament his folly __________________________________________________________________
