Shemot 9:21 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:21

And he that regarded not the word of the Lord
Or "set not his heart" ^F6 "unto it", took no notice of it, but treated it with the utmost contempt; and of this sort it may be thought there were the far greatest number: everyone of this cast left his servants and cattle in the field;
let them remain there, and took no care of them, nor thought about them, and so took no methods to preserve them; in which he acted a foolish part, to his own detriment and loss.

Shemot 9:21 In-Context

19 Send therefore now, and gather thy mikneh, and all that thou hast in the sadeh; for upon every adam (man) and behemah (beast) which shall be found in the sadeh, and shall not be brought into shelter, the barad shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

20 He that feared the Devar Hashem among the avadim of Pharaoh made his avadim and his mikneh flee into the shelters;

21 And he that took not to heart the Devar Hashem left his avadim and his mikneh in the sadeh.

22 And Hashem said unto Moshe, Stretch forth thine yad toward Shomayim, that there may be barad in kol Eretz Mitzrayim, upon adam, and upon behemah, and upon kol esev hasadeh, throughout Eretz Mitzrayim.

23 And Moshe stretched forth his matteh toward Shomayim; and Hashem sent thunder and barad, and the eish flashed down upon the ground; and Hashem rained barad upon Eretz Mitzrayim.
