Êxodo 8:31

31 E fez o Senhor conforme a palavra de Moisés, e apartou os enxames de moscas de Faraó, dos seus servos, e do seu povo; não ficou uma sequer.

Êxodo 8:31 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:31

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses
Did as he entreated him to do, as follows: and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and
from his people;
by what means is not said, whether by destroying them at once, as the frogs, or by driving them away with a wind, as the locusts afterwards: there remained not one;
the meaning is not, not one swarm of flies, but not one fly, there was not one left; which looks as if it was in the latter way that they were removed, since, if in the former, they would have remained, though dead, as the frogs did, for a little while.

Êxodo 8:31 In-Context

29 Respondeu Moisés: Eis que saio da tua presença e orarei ao Senhor, que estes enxames de moscas se apartem amanhã de Faraó, dos seus servos, e do seu povo; somente não torne mais Faraó a proceder dolosamente, não deixando ir o povo para oferecer sacrifícios ao Senhor.

30 Então saiu Moisés da presença de Faraó, e orou ao Senhor.

31 E fez o Senhor conforme a palavra de Moisés, e apartou os enxames de moscas de Faraó, dos seus servos, e do seu povo; não ficou uma sequer.

32 Mas endureceu Faraó ainda esta vez o seu coração, e não deixou ir o povo.
