Exodus 10:15 KJV

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 10:15-17

Observe, the prayer of this hardened sinner was not to take away his sin, but to remove the punishment of it? This forms the striking difference between true said false repentance. Thus David says, mine iniquities are too heavy for me to bear. Psalms 38:4 . Cain saith my punishment is greater than I can bear. Genesis 4:13 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:12-20

12-20 God bids Moses stretch out his hand; locusts came at the call. An army might more easily have been resisted than this host of insects. Who then is able to stand before the great God? They covered the face of the earth, and ate up the fruit of it. Herbs grow for the service of man; yet when God pleases, insects shall plunder him, and eat the bread out of his mouth. Let our labour be, not for the habitation and meat thus exposed, but for those which endure to eternal life. Pharaoh employs... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 10:12-20

The Plague of Locusts v. 12. And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, like a hostile military force, or like clouds carried by the wind, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. v. 13. And Moses stretched forth his rod, his hand with the shepherd's staff, over the land of Egypt; and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. So it was... read more

H.—The locustsExodus 10:1-201And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I might shew [may do] these my signs before him [in the midst of them]; 2And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt [what I have done with the Egyptians]1, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how [may know] that I am Jehovah. 3And Moses and Aaron came [went] in unto... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 10:12-29

the Plagues of Locusts and of Darkness Exodus 10:12-29 The locust is the most terrible plague of Eastern lands. The heat intense; the air languid; the sound as of a strong breeze; the sun darkened by a cloud of living things, which cover the earth several inches thick and devour every green thing, Exodus 10:15 . Notice the extorted confession, at last, of sin, Exodus 10:16 . Many hearts and lives are devastated by these locust-cares, which eat up all the blades of promise and darken heaven.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 10:1-29

It would seem at this point that Moses himself was overawed by the fearful process of judgment and so before the next plague God announced to His servant a new reason for the whole movement. It was in order that posterity might have the solemn and awful warnings of the result of persistent rebellion. Pharaoh was now beyond reason, and God did not reason with him. Pharaoh's servants, apparently more alive than he to his folly, pleaded with him to let the people go. Whereupon he sent for Moses... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:1-20

The Eighth Plague - The Plague of Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20 ). We note in this passage a distinct change of tone. No longer does Yahweh commence with the opening, ‘let My people go’ (compare Exodus 8:1; Exodus 9:1; Exodus 9:13). Instead He says ‘I have made strong (hardened) his heart and the heart of his officials in order to show my signs among them’. The end was near and He no longer looked for Pharaoh’s honest response. Yet He had also begun in the same way in Exodus 7:14, although there it... read more
