Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Exodus 11:1-10

CHAPTER 11 The Tenth Plague Announced 1. God’s Word to Moses and to the people (Exodus 11:1-3 ) 2. The tenth plague announced to Pharaoh (Exodus 11:4-8 ) 3. Pharaoh’s unbelief and his heart hardened (Exodus 11:9-10 ) In chapter 10:29 we hear Moses say to Pharaoh, “I will see thy face again no more.” In this chapter, however, we hear him address Pharaoh once more concerning the tenth plague judgment. The announcement made to Moses and recorded in the first verse of this chapter occurred... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 11:1-10

THE WARNING AS TO PLAGUE NO.10 (vs.1-8) This was given before Pharaoh gave his final threat to Moses. Verses 1-3 form a parenthesis, and verse 1 should read, "And the Lord HAD said to Moses" (Numerical Bible). These three verses then deal with the Lord's words to Moses before He assures Moses that He will bring only one more plague on Egypt, then Pharaoh would not only let them go, but would drive them out. In view of this Moses was told to advise the Israelites to ask (no borrow) from the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 11:1-10

THE PASSOVER At the close of the tenth chapter Moses declares Pharaoh shall see his face no more, while in the eleventh he is present with him again. Therefore with the exception of the first three verses of chapter 11 the remainder must be a continuation of chapter 10. Let us consider it thus, taking up the questions in Exodus 11:1-3 in connection with chapter 12. THE LAST PLAGUE ANNOUNCED (Exodus 11:4-10 ) Hitherto God plagued Egypt mediately, but how was this plague to be distinguished... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 11:1-10

The Plagues of Egypt Exo 11:1 The river was turned into blood, frogs came up upon the land of Egypt abundantly, and lice and flies; beasts were destroyed, locusts covered the whole land; darkness that might be felt filled the earth, and in one awful night the firstborn died, "from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts." And in that night of agony there "was a great cry... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 11:2

By borrowing we may understand, without straining the expression, accepting those presents to which their long servitude had justly entitled them. Psa_105:37; Psa_106:46 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 11:2

Ask; "not borrow," as the Protestants translate; nor "jewels of silver," but vessels, such as the princes offered at the dedication of the tabernacle, Numbers vii. The Samaritan and Septuagint add "and raiment," which they also asked for, (chap. xii. 35,) according to God's command, chap. iii. 22. (Kennicott, 1. Dis. p. 391.) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 11:1-3

1-3 A secret revelation was made to Moses while in the presence of Pharaoh, that he might give warning of the last dreadful judgment, before he went out. This was the last day of the servitude of Israel; they were about to go away. Their masters, who had abused them in their work, would have sent them away empty; but God provided that the labourers should not lose their hire, and ordered them to demand it now, at their departure, and it was given to them. God will right the injured, who in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 11:1-10

The Last Definite. Message of Deliverance. v. 1. And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon pharaoh and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence. When he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. The plague which the Lord had in mind was to be a final blow of such severity as to cause Pharaoh not only to dismiss the children of Israel, but even to drive them out. v. 2. Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Exodus 11:1-10

Exodus A LAST MERCIFUL WARNING Exo_11:1 - - Exo_11:10 . The first point to be noted in this passage is that it interposes a solemn pause between the preceding ineffectual plagues and the last effectual one. There is an awful lull in the storm before the last crashing hurricane which lays every obstacle flat. ‘There is silence in heaven’ before the final peal of thunder. Exo_11:1 - - Exo_11:3 seem, at first sight, out of place, as interrupting the narrative, since Moses’ denunciation and... read more
