Exode 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.

Exode 8:31 In-Context

29 Et Moïse dit: Voici, je sors d'auprès de toi, et j'intercéderai auprès de l'Éternel; et demain les insectes s'éloigneront de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs, et de son peuple. Seulement que Pharaon ne continue point à tromper, en ne laissant point aller le peuple pour sacrifier à l'Éternel.
30 Alors Moïse sortit d'auprès de Pharaon, et intercéda auprès de l'Éternel.
31 Et l'Éternel fit selon la parole de Moïse, et les insectes s'éloignèrent de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs, et de son peuple; il n'en resta pas un seul.
32 Mais Pharaon appesantit son cœur encore cette fois, et ne laissa point aller le peuple.
