Éxodo 8:13

13 Y el SEÑOR hizo conforme a la palabra de Moisés, y murieron las ranas de las casas, de los patios y de los campos.

Éxodo 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:13

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses
He heard his prayers, and fulfilled what he had promised Pharaoh:

and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages,
and out of the fields;
the word for "villages" signifies "courts" {b}, and may be so rendered here; and the sense is, that they not only died out of their dwelling houses, but out of their courtyards, and even out of their gardens, orchards, and fields, so that there were none near them to give any manner of trouble and offence. And their dying, and remaining dead upon the spot, were clear proofs that they were real frogs that were produced, and not in appearance only, as the frogs of the magicians might be; God could have caused them to return to the river from whence they came, or have annihilated them, or removed them out of sight in an instant; but the killing of them, and letting them lie dead, proved the truth of the miracle, and gave apparent evidence of it both ways, both in the bringing and removing them.

Éxodo 8:13 In-Context

11 Y las ranas se alejarán de ti, de tus casas, de tus siervos y de tu pueblo; sólo quedarán en el Nilo.

12 Entonces Moisés y Aarón salieron de la presencia de Faraón, y Moisés clamó al SEÑOR acerca de las ranas que El había puesto sobre Faraón.

13 Y el SEÑOR hizo conforme a la palabra de Moisés, y murieron las ranas de las casas, de los patios y de los campos.

14 Y las juntaron en montones, y la tierra se corrompió.

15 Pero al ver Faraón que había alivio, endureció su corazón y no los escuchó, tal como el SEÑOR había dicho.
