出エジプト記 10:1-7 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 10:1-11

Here, I. Moses is instructed. We may well suppose that he, for his part, was much astonished both at Pharaoh's obstinacy and at God's severity, and could not but be compassionately concerned for the desolations of Egypt, and at a loss to conceive what this contest would come to at last. Now here God tells him what he designed, not only Israel's release, but the magnifying of his own name: That thou mayest tell in thy writings, which shall continue to the world's end, what I have wrought in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:1

And the Lord said unto Moses, go in unto Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart ,.... Or, as some render it, "though I have hardened his heart" F21 כי "quamvis", Piscator; so Ainsworth. ; or otherwise it would seem rather to be a reason he should not go, than why he should; at least it would be discouraging, and he might object to what purpose should he go, it would be in vain, no end would be answered by it; though there was an end God had in view, and which was answered by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:2

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son ,.... Not of his sons and grandsons only; for Moses here, as Aben Ezra observes, was in the stead of Israel; and the sense is, that it should be told to their posterity in all succeeding ages: what things I have wrought in Egypt ; the plagues that he inflicted on the Egyptians: and my signs which I have done amongst them ; meaning the same things which were signs: that ye may know how that I am the Lord ; that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:3

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh ,.... As the Lord commanded them, for what is before said to Moses was designed for Aaron also, his prophet and spokesman: and said unto him, thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews ; as the ambassadors of the God of Israel, and in his name said: how long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me ? to acknowledge his offence, lie low before God, and be subject to his will; he had humbled himself for a moment, but then this did not continue;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:4

Else, if thou refuse to let my people go ,.... He threatens him with the following plague, the plague of the locusts, which Pliny F24 Nat. Hist. l. 11. c. 29. calls "denrum irae pestis": behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast ; according to Bishop Usher F25 Annales Vet. Test. p. 21. this was about the seventh day of the month Abib, that this plague was threatened, and on the morrow, which was the eighth day, it was brought; but Aben Ezra relates it as an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:5

And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth ,.... Or, "cover the eye of the earth" F26 עין הארץ "oculum terrae", Montanus, Piscator; so Ainsworth. ; either the appearance and colour of the earth, so as they could not be discerned for the multitude of the locusts on it; so the word is used in Numbers 11:7 or the eye of man looking upon the earth, which would not be able to see it, because the locusts would be between his eye and the earth.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:6

They shall fill thy houses ,.... The king's palace and all the offices of it: and the houses of thy servants ; the palaces of his nobles and courtiers: and the houses of all the Egyptians ; of all the common people, not only in the metropolis, but in all the cities and towns in the kingdom; and so Dr. Shaw F3 Travels, p. 187, Edit. 2. says, the locusts he saw in Barbary, in the years 1724 and 1725, climbed as they advanced over every tree or wall that was in their way; nay,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:7

And Pharaoh's servants said to him ,.... His courtiers and counsellors, such of them as were not so hardened as others, or however now began to relent, and dreaded what would be the consequence of things, even the ruin of the whole country, the good of which they seem to have had at heart: how long shall this man be a snare unto us ? an occasion of ruin and destruction, as birds by a snare; they speak in a contemptuous manner of Moses, calling him "this man", the rather to ingratiate... read more

Hardened his heart - God suffered his natural obstinacy to prevail, that he might have farther opportunities of showing forth his eternal power and Godhead. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:2

That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son - That the miracles wrought at this time might be a record for the instruction of the latest posterity, that Jehovah alone, the God of the Hebrews, was the sole Maker, Governor, and Supporter of the heavens and the earth. Thus we find God so did his marvelous works, that they might be had in everlasting remembrance. It was not to crush the poor worm, Pharaoh, that he wrought such mighty wonders, but to convince his enemies, to the end of the... read more
