Êxodo 9:8-12

A Sexta Praga: Feridas Purulentas

8 Disse mais o SENHOR a Moisés e a Arão: “Tirem um punhado de cinza de uma fornalha, e Moisés a espalhará no ar, diante do faraó.

9 Ela se tornará como um pó fino sobre toda a terra do Egito, e feridas purulentas surgirão nos homens e nos animais em todo o Egito”.

10 Eles tiraram cinza duma fornalha e se puseram diante do faraó. Moisés a espalhou pelo ar, e feridas purulentas começaram a estourar nos homens e nos animais.

11 Nem os magos podiam manter-se diante de Moisés, porque ficaram cobertos de feridas, como os demais egípcios.

12 Mas o SENHOR endureceu o coração do faraó, e ele se recusou a atender Moisés e Arão, conforme o SENHOR tinha dito a Moisés.

Êxodo 9:8-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 9

This chapter relates the plague of murrain upon the cattle, and which yet was not upon the cattle of the Israelites, Ex 9:1-7 and the plague of boils and blains on man and beast, Ex 9:8-11 and Pharaoh's heart being hardened, Moses is sent to him with a message from the Lord, threatening him that all his plagues should come upon him, and particularly the pestilence, if he would not let Israel go; and signifying, that to show his power in him, and declare his name throughout the earth, had he raised him up, and a kind of amazement is expressed at his obstinacy and pride, Ex 9:12-17, and he is told that a terrible storm of hail should fall upon the land, and destroy all in the field; wherefore those that regarded the word of the Lord got their cattle within doors, but those that did not took no care of them, Ex 9:18-21 and upon Moses's stretching out his hand, when ordered by the Lord, the storm began, and destroyed every thing in the field throughout the land, excepting the land of Goshen, Ex 9:22-26 upon which Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, acknowledged his sin, and the justice of God, begged they would entreat for him, which Moses did; but when the storm was over, Pharaoh's heart was still more hardened, and he refused to let the people go, Ex 9:27-35.
