Êxodo 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.

Êxodo 9:20 In-Context

18 Amanhã, a esta hora, enviarei a pior tempestade de granizo que já caiu sobre o Egito, desde o dia da sua fundação até hoje.

19 Agora, mande recolher os seus rebanhos e tudo o que você tem nos campos. Todos os homens e animais que estiverem nos campos, que não tiverem sido abrigados, serão atingidos pelo granizo e morrerão”.

20 Os conselheiros do faraó que temiam a palavra do SENHOR apressaram-se em recolher aos abrigos os seus rebanhos e os seus escravos.

21 Mas os que não se importaram com a palavra do SENHOR deixaram os seus escravos e os seus rebanhos no campo.

22 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Estenda a mão para o céu, e cairá granizo sobre toda a terra do Egito: sobre homens, sobre animais e sobre toda a vegetação do Egito”.
