Éxodo 9:30 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:30

But as for thee, and thy servants
Notwithstanding the confession of sin he had made, and his earnest request that the Lord might be entreated to remove this plague, and though he had been assured it would be removed: I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God:
they had not feared him yet; the confession of sin made did not arise from the true fear of God, but from a dread of punishment, and when delivered from this plague, the goodness of God would have no such effect as to cause him and his servants to fear the Lord; or "I know, that before ye were afraid of the face of the Lord God" ^F14, which Kimchi ^F15 and Ben Melech interpret thus, ``I know that thou and thy servants, before I pray for you, are afraid of the face of the Lord God, but after I have prayed, and the thunders and rain are ceased, ye will sin again;'' and so they did.

Éxodo 9:30 In-Context

28 No voy a detenerlos más tiempo; voy a dejarlos ir. Pero rueguen por mí al SEÑOR, que truenos y granizo los hemos tenido de sobra.

29 —En cuanto yo salga de la ciudad —le contestó Moisés—, elevaré mis manos en oración al SEÑOR, y cesarán los truenos y dejará de granizar. Así sabrás que la tierra es del SEÑOR.

30 Sin embargo, yo sé que tú y tus funcionarios aún no tienen temor de Dios el SEÑOR.

31 El lino y la cebada fueron destruidos, ya que la cebada estaba en espiga, y el lino en flor.

32 Sin embargo, el trigo y la espelta no se echaron a perder porque maduran más tarde.
