PLAGUE II"And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs: and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

Frogs (the second plague) 8:1-15Before the second plague, Moses gave Pharaoh a warning, for the first time, and for the first time the plague touched Pharaoh’s person."The god Hapi controlled the alluvial deposits and the waters that made the land fertile and guaranteed the harvest of the coming season. These associations caused the Egyptians to deify the frog and make the theophany of the goddess Heqt a frog. Heqt was the wife of the great god Khnum. She was the symbol of resurrection and the... read more

The Second, Third, and Fourth Plagues1-15. The Second Plague:—Frogs.This plague, like the first, was not only in itself loathsome, but an offence to the religious notions of the Egyptians. The frog was a sacred animal, and regarded as representing the reproductive powers of nature. At least one divinity was represented with a frog’s head. This sacred sign became an object of abhorrence tinder this plague. This also was an aggravation of a natural phenomenon, but. its supernatural nature was... read more

Exodus 8:1 And so the world went its way, controlled by no dread of retribution; and on the tomb frescoes you can see legions of slaves under the lash dragging from the quarries the blocks of granite which were to form the eternal monuments of the Pharaoh's tyranny; and you read in the earliest authentic history that when there was a fear that the slave-races should multiply so fast as to be dangerous their babies were flung to the crocodiles. One of these slave-races rose at last in revolt.... read more

CHAPTER VIII.THE SECOND PLAGUE.Exodus 8:1-15.Although Pharaoh had warning of the first plague, no appeal was made to him to avert it by submission. But before the plague of frogs he was distinctly commanded, "Let My people go." It is an advancing lesson. He has felt the power of Jehovah: now he is to connect, even more closely, his suffering with his disobedience; and when this is accomplished, the third plague will break upon him unannounced--a loud challenge to his conscience to become itself... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 8:1-32

LAGUE NO.2 -- FROGS (vs.1-15) Again God gives the opportunity to Pharaoh to respond to His demand to let Israel go (v.1). But Moses was to accompany this with the warnings that, if Pharaoh refused, their land would be inundated with a plague of frogs which would not remain outside, but would come into their homes, into their bedrooms and beds, into their food and kitchen utensils (vs.2-3). Since Pharaoh did not heed the warning, the Lord gave the order to Moses that Aaron was to stretch out... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 8:1-32

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
