Éxodo 8:25-32

Listen to Éxodo 8:25-32
25 Entonces llam贸 Fara贸n a Mois茅s y a Aar贸n, y dijo: Id, ofreced sacrificio a vuestro Dios dentro del pa铆s.
26 Pero Mois茅s respondi贸: No conviene que lo hagamos as铆, porque es abominaci贸n para los egipcios lo que sacrificaremos al SE脩OR nuestro Dios. Si sacrificamos lo que es abominaci贸n para los egipcios delante de sus ojos, 驴no nos apedrear谩n?
27 Andaremos una distancia de tres d铆as de camino en el desierto, y ofreceremos sacrificios al SE脩OR nuestro Dios, tal como El nos manda.
28 Y Fara贸n dijo: Os dejar茅 ir para que ofrezc谩is sacrificio al SE脩OR vuestro Dios en el desierto, s贸lo que no vay谩is muy lejos. Orad por m铆.
29 Entonces dijo Mois茅s: He aqu铆, voy a salir de tu presencia y rogar茅 al SE脩OR que los enjambres de insectos se alejen ma帽ana de Fara贸n, de sus siervos y de su pueblo; pero que Fara贸n no vuelva a obrar con enga帽o, no dejando ir al pueblo a ofrecer sacrificios al SE脩OR.
30 Y sali贸 Mois茅s de la presencia de Fara贸n y or贸 al SE脩OR.
31 Y el SE脩OR hizo como Mois茅s le pidi贸, y quit贸 los enjambres de insectos de Fara贸n, de sus siervos y de su pueblo; no qued贸 ni uno solo.
32 Pero Fara贸n endureci贸 su coraz贸n tambi茅n esta vez y no dej贸 salir al pueblo.

Éxodo 8:25-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 8

In this chapter Pharaoh is threatened with the plague of frogs, in case he refused to let Israel go, which accordingly was brought upon him, Ex 8:1-6 and though the magicians did something similar to it, yet these were so troublesome to Pharaoh, that he promised to let the people go, and sacrifice to God, if they removed; and a time being fixed for the removal of them, it was accordingly done at the entreaty of Moses and Aaron, Ex 8:7-14 but there being a respite, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and the plague of lice is ordered, and which was executed; and though this the magicians essayed to do, and could not, but owned it to be the finger of God, yet Pharaoh's heart was hardened, Ex 8:15-19 wherefore he is threatened with a swarm of flies, which should not infest Goshen, only the places where the Egyptians dwelt, and it was so, Ex 8:20-24 upon which Pharaoh called for Moses, and declared himself willing the people would sacrifice in the land; but this not being satisfactory, he agreed they should go into the wilderness, but not so far; and on the account of the entreaty of Moses, the plague was removed; but still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go, Ex 8:25-32.
