Êxodo 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:15

For now will I stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and
thy people with pestilence
Which yet we never find was done; for though this by many is referred to the slaying of the firstborn, yet it is not certain that this was done by the pestilence: besides, Pharaoh was not then smitten, nor his people, only their firstborn; wherefore these words are to be rendered, not in the future, but in the imperfect or preterpluperfect tense, thus; "for when now I stretched out my hand, or if now I had stretched out my hand to smite thee and thy people with pestilence" F1; that is, at the time when he smote the cattle with the murrain or pestilence, when he could as well have smote him and his people with it; there was no want of power in God to do it, and had he done it, it would have been all over with him and them: and thou shall be cut off from the earth;
or "thou hadst been, or wouldest have been cut off from the earth" F2 must have perished out of it, and been no more in the land of the living.

Êxodo 9:15 In-Context

13 Disse o SENHOR a Moisés: “Levante-se logo cedo, apresente-se ao faraó e diga-lhe que assim diz o SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus: Deixe o meu povo ir para que me preste culto.
14 Caso contrário, mandarei desta vez todas as minhas pragas contra você, contra os seus conselheiros e contra o seu povo, para que você saiba que em toda a terra não há ninguém como eu.
15 Porque eu já poderia ter estendido a mão, ferindo você e o seu povo com uma praga que teria eliminado você da terra.
16 Mas eu o mantive em pé exatamente com este propósito: mostrar a você o meu poder e fazer que o meu nome seja proclamado em toda a terra.
17 Contudo você ainda insiste em colocar-se contra o meu povo e não o deixa ir.
