Exodus 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:14

And they gathered them together upon heaps
Swept them up, and laid them in heaps out of the way:

and the land stank;
with the stench of the dead frogs, which was another proof and evidence of the reality of the miracle; and that dead frogs will cause such an ill smell appears from the above account of what befell the inhabitants of Paeonia and Dardania, unless that should be the same with this, only the names of places and some circumstances altered; (See Gill on Exodus 8:16).

Exodus 8:14 In-Context

12 Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses prayed to God about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 God responded to Moses' prayer: The frogs died off - houses, courtyards, fields, all free of frogs.

14 They piled the frogs in heaps. The country reeked of dead frogs.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that he had some breathing room, he got stubborn again and wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron. Just as God had said. Strike Three: Gnats

16 God said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff and strike the dust. The dust will turn into gnats all over Egypt.'"
