Exodus 8:23 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:23

And I will put a division between my people and thy people,
&c.] Or, a "redemption" ^F16; for by distinguishing them in his providence from the Egyptians, he might be said to redeem or deliver them; thus God makes a difference between his chosen people and the rest of the world, through his Son's redemption of them by his blood, out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation:

tomorrow shall this sign be:
which, according to Bishop Usher, must be the twenty nineth day of Adar or February.

Exodus 8:23 In-Context

21 Yf thou wilt not let my people goo: beholde, I will sende all maner flies both apon the and thy servauntes ad thy people and into thy housses. And the housses of the Egiptians shalbe full of flies, and the grounde where on they are.

22 But I will separate the same daye the londe of Gosan where my people are, so that there shall no flyes be there: that thou mayst knowe that I am the Lorde vppon the erth.

23 And I will put a deuision betwene my people and thine. And euen tomorow shall this myracle be done.

24 And the Lorde dyd euen so: and there came noysom flyes in to the housse of Pharao, and in to his servauntes housses and in to all the lode of Egipte: so that the londe was marred with flyes.

25 Then Pharao sent for Moses and Aaron and sayde: Goo and do sacrifice vnto youre God in the land.
