Êxodo 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:20

And the Lord said unto Moses, rise up early in the morning,
&c.] Of the day following, the twenty eight of Adar, or February, according to Bishop Usher; this was the fittest time to meet with Pharaoh, and the most likely to make impressions on him:

and stand before Pharaoh:
meet him as he comes along, and stop him, and stand before him as having something to say to him; this was using great boldness and freedom with a king; but as Moses was ordered to do it by the King of kings, it became him to obey him:

lo, he cometh forth to the water; (See Gill on Exodus 7:15)

and say unto him, thus saith the Lord, let my people go, that they may
serve me;
which had often been required before, but to no purpose, and in case of refusal he is threatened as follows.

Êxodo 8:20 In-Context

18 Mas, quando os magos tentaram fazer surgir piolhos por meio das suas ciências ocultas, não conseguiram. E os piolhos infestavam os homens e os animais.
19 Os magos disseram ao faraó: “Isso é o dedo de Deus”. Mas o coração do faraó permaneceu endurecido, e ele não quis ouvi-los, conforme o SENHOR tinha dito.
20 Depois o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Levante-se bem cedo e apresente-se ao faraó, quando ele estiver indo às águas. Diga-lhe que assim diz o SENHOR: Deixe o meu povo ir para que me preste culto.
21 Se você não deixar meu povo ir, enviarei enxames de moscas para atacar você, os seus conselheiros, o seu povo e as suas casas. As casas dos egípcios e o chão em que pisam se encherão de moscas.
22 “Mas naquele dia tratarei de maneira diferente a terra de Gósen, onde habita o meu povo; nenhum enxame de moscas se achará ali, para que você saiba que eu, o SENHOR, estou nessa terra.
