Éxodo 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:20

He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of
Pharaoh
Who, if they had not the true fear of God, and were not sincere proselytes, yet had a servile fear of him, and dreaded his word, his threatening, his denunciations of judgments and predictions of future punishments; of which they had had many instances wherein they were fulfilled, and therefore had reason to fear that this also would, even the word that had been just now spoken: made his servants and cattle flee into the houses;
called home his servants, and drove his cattle in great haste out of the fields, and brought them home as fast as he could, and housed them; in which he acted the wise and prudent part, and showed a concern for his servants and his cattle, as well as believed the word of the Lord.

Éxodo 9:20 In-Context

18 Por eso mañana a esta hora enviaré la peor granizada que haya caído en Egipto desde su fundación.

19 Ordena inmediatamente que se pongan bajo techo tus ganados y todo lo que tengas en el campo, lo mismo personas que animales, porque el granizo caerá sobre los que anden al aire libre y los matará”».

20 Algunos funcionarios del faraón temieron la palabra del SEÑOR y se apresuraron a poner bajo techo a sus esclavos y ganados,

21 pero otros no hicieron caso de la palabra del SEÑOR y dejaron en el campo a sus esclavos y ganados.

22 Entonces el SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés: «Levanta los brazos al cielo, para que en todo Egipto caiga granizo sobre la gente y los animales, y sobre todo lo que crece en el campo».
