Exodus 8:23 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:23

And I will put a division between my people and thy people,
&c.] Or, a "redemption" ^F16; for by distinguishing them in his providence from the Egyptians, he might be said to redeem or deliver them; thus God makes a difference between his chosen people and the rest of the world, through his Son's redemption of them by his blood, out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation:

tomorrow shall this sign be:
which, according to Bishop Usher, must be the twenty nineth day of Adar or February.

Exodus 8:23 In-Context

21 quod si non dimiseris eum ecce ego inmittam in te et in servos tuos et in populum tuum et in domos tuas omne genus muscarum et implebuntur domus Aegyptiorum muscis diversi generis et in universa terra in qua fuerint

22 faciamque mirabilem in die illa terram Gessen in qua populus meus est ut non sint ibi muscae et scias quoniam ego Dominus in medio terrae

23 ponamque divisionem inter populum meum et populum tuum cras erit signum istud

24 fecitque Dominus ita et venit musca gravissima in domos Pharaonis et servorum eius et in omnem terram Aegypti corruptaque est terra ab huiuscemodi muscis

25 vocavit Pharao Mosen et Aaron et ait eis ite sacrificate Deo vestro in terra
