Éxodo 8:13

13 El SEÑOR atendió a los ruegos de Moisés, y las ranas comenzaron a morirse en las casas, en los patios y en los campos.

Éxodo 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:13

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses
He heard his prayers, and fulfilled what he had promised Pharaoh:

and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages,
and out of the fields;
the word for "villages" signifies "courts" {b}, and may be so rendered here; and the sense is, that they not only died out of their dwelling houses, but out of their courtyards, and even out of their gardens, orchards, and fields, so that there were none near them to give any manner of trouble and offence. And their dying, and remaining dead upon the spot, were clear proofs that they were real frogs that were produced, and not in appearance only, as the frogs of the magicians might be; God could have caused them to return to the river from whence they came, or have annihilated them, or removed them out of sight in an instant; but the killing of them, and letting them lie dead, proved the truth of the miracle, and gave apparent evidence of it both ways, both in the bringing and removing them.

Éxodo 8:13 In-Context

11 Las ranas se apartarán de ti y de tus casas, de tus funcionarios y de tu pueblo, y se quedarán únicamente en el Nilo.

12 Tan pronto como salieron Moisés y Aarón de hablar con el faraón, Moisés clamó al SEÑOR en cuanto a las ranas que había mandado sobre el faraón.

13 El SEÑOR atendió a los ruegos de Moisés, y las ranas comenzaron a morirse en las casas, en los patios y en los campos.

14 La gente las recogía y las amontonaba, y el hedor de las ranas llenaba el país.

15 Pero en cuanto el faraón experimentó alivio, endureció su corazón y, tal como el SEÑOR lo había advertido, ya no quiso saber nada de Moisés ni de Aarón.
