Exode 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:14

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart,
&c.] Not meaning particularly the plague of the hail, which next follows, so called, because it consisted of various things, as hail, rain, lightning, and thunder, as Aben Ezra, and who observes, that Pharaoh was more terrified with this plague than with any other; but rather all the plagues yet to come, for by them are not meant all the plagues that were in the power of God to inflict, which how many and great they are none can say, but all that he had determined in his mind to bring upon him; and these should not so much affect and afflict his body, as the boils and ulcers had the magicians, but should reach his heart, and fill him with horror and terror: and upon thy servants, and upon thy people;
even all that he intended to bring not only upon himself, but upon his subjects, both high and low: that thou mayest know, that there is none like unto me in all the
earth;
for the perfections of his nature, and the works of his hands, particularly his providential dealings with the sons of men, and especially with him.

Exode 9:14 In-Context

12 L'Eternel endurcit le coeur de Pharaon, et Pharaon n'écouta point Moïse et Aaron, selon ce que l'Eternel avait dit à Moïse.

13 L'Eternel dit à Moïse: Lève-toi de bon matin, et présente-toi devant Pharaon. Tu lui diras: Ainsi parle l'Eternel, le Dieu des Hébreux: Laisse aller mon peuple, afin qu'il me serve.

14 Car, cette fois, je vais envoyer toutes mes plaies contre ton coeur, contre tes serviteurs et contre ton peuple, afin que tu saches que nul n'est semblable à moi sur toute la terre.

15 Si j'avais étendu ma main, et que je t'eusse frappé par la mortalité, toi et ton peuple, tu aurais disparu de la terre.

16 Mais, je t'ai laissé subsister, afin que tu voies ma puissance, et que l'on publie mon nom par toute la terre.
