Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 10:25-29

"And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God. Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve Jehovah our God; and we know not with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come thither. But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou... read more

6. The seventh, eighth, and ninth plagues 9:13-10:29Moses announced the purpose of the following plagues to Pharaoh "in the morning" (cf. Exodus 7:15; Exodus 8:20). This purpose was twofold: that Pharaoh personally might know God’s power (Exodus 9:14) and that the whole world might know it (Exodus 9:16; cf. Romans 9:17). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 10:21-29

Darkness (the ninth plague) 10:21-29Since the other plagues to this point seem to have been natural phenomena, many commentators interpret this one as such too. The most common explanation for the darkness that lasted three days (Exodus 10:22) and affected the Egyptians but not the Israelites (Exodus 10:23) is that it resulted from a dust storm.A wind ". . . which generally blows in Egypt before and after the vernal equinox and lasts two or three days, usually rises very suddenly, and fills the... read more

The Eighth and Ninth Plagues1-20. The Eighth Plague:—Locusts.2. See on Exodus 7:4-5; 3. This question shows that Pharaoh was responsible for the hardening of his heart: see on Exodus 4:21. 4-6. Travellers are unanimous in bearing witness to the terrible ravages caused by a visitation of locusts. They fly in dense swarms, sometimes miles in length, so that the air is darkened with them. Wherever they alight they devour every green thing, not sparing the bark of trees. For a description of a... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 10:1-29

Exodus 10:7 If there be any one truth which the deductions of reason alone, independent of history, would lead us to anticipate, and which again history alone would establish independently of antecedent reasoning, it is this: that a whole class of men placed permanently under the ascendancy of another as subjects, without the rights of citizens, must be a source, at the best, of weakness, and generally of danger to the State. They cannot well be expected, and have rarely been found, to evince... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:21-29

THE NINTH PLAGUE.Exodus 10:21-29.We have taken it as settled that the Pharaoh of the Exodus was Menephtah, the Beloved of the God Ptah. If so, his devotion to the gods throws a curious light upon his first scorn of Jehovah, and his long continued resistance; and also upon the threat of vengeance to be executed upon the gods of Egypt, as if they were a resisting power. But there is a special significance in the ninth plague, when we connect it with Menephtah.In the Tombs of the Kings at Thebes... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Exodus 10:1-29

CHAPTER 10 The Eighth and Ninth Plagues 1. The eighth plague: locusts (Exodus 10:1-15 ) 2. Pharaoh’s renewed confession and refusal (Exodus 10:16-20 ) 3. The ninth plague: darkness (Exodus 10:21-26 ) 4. Pharaoh’s anger (Exodus 10:27-29 ) The eighth plague is introduced by another warning; the ninth came without it. As a result of the eighth plague, Pharaoh confessed his sin against God and against Moses and Aaron; but after the ninth plague drove Moses from his presence and threatened... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:1-29

PLAGUE NO.8 -- LOCUSTS (vs.1-20) Again the Lord reminds Moses that He Himself had hardened Pharaoh's heart and the hearts of his servants in order that He might publicly show His signs before them, as well as that God's great works of power might have very real effect on Israel's present generation and on generations to come, that they might realize that it was indeed the living Lord of glory who was dealing with them (vs.1-2). Moses and Aaron again stand before Pharaoh to repeat God's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:1-29

PLAGUES IN DETAIL FIRST GROUP (Exodus 7:4 - Exodus 8:19 ) The river turned into blood (Exodus 7:14-25 ). How far did this plague extend over the waters of Egypt (Exodus 7:19 )? If this were literally so, it may be asked, where did the magicians find material on which to work with their enchantments (Exodus 7:22 )? Is the answer suggested in Exodus 7:24 ? May they have dug up water from the ground for this purpose? If so, we can imagine the limited scale of their performance in contrast... read more
