Exodus 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses
Either whilst the plague upon the waters continued, or immediately upon the removal of it:

go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord, let my
people go, that they may serve me;
mentioning neither time nor place, where, when, and how long they should serve him, for which their dismission was required, but insist on it in general.

Exodus 8:1 In-Context

1 God said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'God's Message: Release my people so they can worship me.

2 If you refuse to release them, I'm warning you, I'll hit the whole country with frogs.

3 The Nile will swarm with frogs - they'll come up into your houses, into your bedrooms and into your beds, into your servants' quarters, among the people, into your ovens and pots and pans.

4 They'll be all over you, all over everyone - frogs everywhere, on and in everything!'"

5 God said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Wave your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds. Bring up frogs on the land of Egypt.'"
