Exodus 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.
