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 Moïse répondit: Je vais sortir de chez toi, et je prierai l'Eternel. Demain, les mouches s'éloigneront de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Mais, que Pharaon ne trompe plus, en refusant de laisser aller le peuple, pour offrir des sacrifices à l'Eternel.

30 Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon, et il pria l'Eternel.

31 L'Eternel fit ce que demandait Moïse; et les mouches s'éloignèrent de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Il n'en resta pas une.

32 Mais Pharaon, cette fois encore, endurcit son coeur, et il ne laissa point aller le peuple.
