Exodus 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:14

And they gathered them together upon heaps
Swept them up, and laid them in heaps out of the way:

and the land stank;
with the stench of the dead frogs, which was another proof and evidence of the reality of the miracle; and that dead frogs will cause such an ill smell appears from the above account of what befell the inhabitants of Paeonia and Dardania, unless that should be the same with this, only the names of places and some circumstances altered; (See Gill on Exodus 8:16).

Exodus 8:14 In-Context

12 After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses prayed to the LORD about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 The LORD did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the yards, and in the fields.

14 They were piled into countless heaps, and the land began to stink because of them.

15 When Pharaoh saw that the plague was over, he became stubborn and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, as the LORD had predicted.

16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Hold out your staff and strike the dust on the ground. All over Egypt the dust will turn into gnats.'"
