Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:1-35

Exodus 7:14 to Exodus 12:36 . The Ten Plagues.— How deeply this series of events imprinted itself on the mind and heart of the nation is shown by the fulness with which the three sources report them. J 1° 2°— 4° 5°— 7° 8° 9° 10° E 1°————— 7° 8° 9° 10° P 1° 2° 3°—— 6°——— 10° 1° , river turned to blood; 2° , frogs; 3° , fice (gnats); 4° , flies; 5° , murrain; 6° , boils; 7° , hail; 8° , locusts; 9° , darkness; 10° , death of firstborn.A sound historical judgment will conclude, both from this... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:13-35

Exodus 9:13 to Exodus 35:7° . A Devastating Hailstorm ( Exodus 9:13-Ecclesiastes : J, Exodus 9:22 f. E, Exodus 9:24-Amos : J, Exodus 9:31 f. E, Exodus 9:33 f. J, Exodus 9:35 ab E, Exodus 9:35 c R).— Into the announcement of the coming storm a short passage ( Exodus 9:14-Nehemiah :) has been with impressive effect inserted by an early expander of J. It accounts for the series of partial judgments, instead of one overwhelming doom, by the Divine purpose to illustrate more at length the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 9:26

It seems the Egyptians that dwelt there were spared for the sake of their neighbours the Israelites; which great obligation probably made them more willing to lend their jewels to them, Exodus 12:35. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 9:27

I now plainly see and freely acknowledge my sin in striving with God. He seems not to deny that he had sinned before, for even the light of nature would discover his sin, in breaking his faith, and the word of a King given to Moses for Israel’s dismission. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 9:22-26

ILLUSTRATIONSBYREV. WM. ADAMSONHail-plague! Exodus 9:22. The Psalmist says that the vines, and sycamores, and fig-trees—yea and all the trees in their coasts, were destroyed by the hailstones and coals of fire. Hail was an unheard-of thing in Egypt, while fire was esteemed a mighty deity. Porphyry declares that at the opening of the Temple of Serapis the worship is made by fire and water, for they reverence fire and water above the elements. Thus the deities which they adored were employed by... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 9:27-28

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 9:27-28REPENTANCE INSPIRED BY FEARWe now see Pharaoh as a penitent. The proud King is humbled. He confesses his sin. He resolves to amend his conduct. He sends for the ministers of the truth. We have seen him in this mood before, and we thought that it was a hopeful token. But the repentance then manifested passed away with the pain that awakened it. How frequently do moods of repentance come upon the soul, but how soon are they over, and leave no... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:1-35

Chapter 9Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, [Now we have the sixth demand.] and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if you refuse to let them go, and will hold them still, Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon your cattle which are in the field, and upon the horses, upon the asses, the camels, upon the oxen, and upon all your sheep: there will be a grievous murrain. [or a boil-kind of a disease coming upon the animals.]... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 9:1-35

Exodus 9:6. All the cattle of Egypt died; that is, all were smitten with the murrain, whose unbelieving owners did not take care to house them: so we read in the twentieth verse concerning the hail. This plague was not only great in itself, but it seemed to be a stroke against their gods. Their Jupiter Ammon was fashioned like a ram, their Anubis like a dog, and their Apis like a bull or an ox. The Jupiter Ammon of Egypt was at first no other than a representative of Jehovah, but they... read more

Exodus 9:18-26The hail shall come down upon them.Brought homeI. God is the true home of the soul. Everything the soul needs is to be found in Him: nowhere else. Here is inviolable security, and everlasting peace.II. Christ has come to bring us home to God.III. The eternal blessedness of all who are brought home to God by christ. This is seen in two ways.1. By what is escaped. “The hail.” God’s judgments. We have all been solemnly warned. The voice of God cries “gather,” (Exodus 9:19). If we... read more

Exodus 9:27-28I have sinned.Pharaoh’s “I have sinned”There are no more beautiful words ever spoken on this earth--none to which an angel listens more complacently--none which wing their way more surely to heaven--none which more surely enter into the ears of the Lord God of Sabaoth--than those three--so personal, so true, so simple, and so full, “I have sinned.” They occur nine times in the Bible; and of the nine we may except two. For where they stand--in the seventh chapter of Micah--they are... read more
