Êxodo 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 11:6

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt
Of parents for the loss of their firstborn sons, their heirs, the support and glory of their families; children for the loss of their elder brethren; and servants for the loss of the prime and principal in their masters' houses; and all in a dreadful fright, expecting instantly death themselves: such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more;
for though the later destruction of Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea might be a greater loss, yet not occasion greater mourning; since that was only a loss of military persons, and did not affect at least so many families as this; and though their king was lost also, it might not give them so much concern, since through his ill conduct, his hardness and obstinacy, he had been the means of so many plagues inflicted on them.

Êxodo 11:6 In-Context

4 Disse, pois, Moisés ao faraó: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Por volta da meia-noite, passarei por todo o Egito.

5 Todos os primogênitos do Egito morrerão, desde o filho mais velho do faraó, herdeiro do trono, até o filho mais velho da escrava que trabalha no moinho, e também todas as primeiras crias do gado.

6 Haverá grande pranto em todo o Egito, como nunca houve antes nem jamais haverá.

7 Entre os israelitas, porém, nem sequer um cão latirá contra homem ou animal’. Então vocês saberão que o SENHOR faz distinção entre o Egito e Israel!

8 Todos esses seus conselheiros virão a mim e se ajoelharão diante de mim, suplicando: ‘Saiam você e todo o povo que o segue!’ Só então eu sairei”. E, com grande ira, Moisés saiu da presença do faraó.
