Exodus 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses
Either whilst the plague upon the waters continued, or immediately upon the removal of it:

go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord, let my

mentioning neither time nor place, where, when, and how long they should serve him, for which their dismission was required, but insist on it in general.

3 The Nile will be so full of frogs that they will leave it and go into your palace, your bedroom, your bed, the houses of your officials and your people, and even into your ovens and baking pans.

4 They will jump up on you, your people, and all your officials.' "
