Êxodo 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:7

And the magicians did so with their enchantments,
&c] By their secret wiles and juggling tricks:

and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt,
that is, some few, as a proof of their art and skill, and to show that Moses and Aaron did but what they could do; but what they did either were only in appearance, deceiving the sight of Pharaoh and his people, or real frogs were brought to them by the help of devils, but not in such numbers: and besides, this was adding to the plague, and not diminishing it; had they done anything to the purpose, they should have removed it at once, or destroyed the frogs; but that they could not do, of which Pharaoh being sensible, he therefore entreated for the removal of them by Moses and Aaron. To this plague there seems to be some reference at the pouring out of the sixth vial, ( Revelation 16:13 Revelation 16:14 ) .

Êxodo 8:7 In-Context

5 Depois o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Diga a Arão que estenda a mão com a vara sobre os rios, sobre os canais e sobre os açudes, e faça subir deles rãs sobre a terra do Egito”.

6 Assim Arão estendeu a mão sobre as águas do Egito, e as rãs subiram e cobriram a terra do Egito.

7 Mas os magos fizeram a mesma coisa por meio das suas ciências ocultas: fizeram subir rãs sobre a terra do Egito.

8 O faraó mandou chamar Moisés e Arão e disse: “Orem ao SENHOR para que ele tire estas rãs de mim e do meu povo; então deixarei o povo ir e oferecer sacrifícios ao SENHOR”.

9 Moisés disse ao faraó: “Tua é a honra de dizer-me quando devo orar por ti, por teus conselheiros e por teu povo, para que tu e tuas casas fiquem livres das rãs e sobrem apenas as que estão no rio”.
