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 And the Lord spoke to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord: "Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

2 But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.

3 So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.

4 And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants." ' "

5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.' "
