Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 105:25-45

After the history of the patriarchs follows here the history of the people of Israel, when they grew into a nation. I. Their affliction in Egypt (Ps. 105:25): He turned the heart of the Egyptians, who had protected them, to hate them and deal subtilely with them. God's goodness to his people exasperated the Egyptians against them; and, though their old antipathy to the Hebrews (which we read of Gen. 43:32; 46:34) was laid asleep for a while, yet now it revived with more violence than ever:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:25

He turned their heart to hate his people ,.... Whom before they loved and esteemed: when Pharaoh and his servants heard of Joseph's father and brethren, they were greatly pleased, and invited them into Egypt; and, when come, placed them in the land of Goshen; but when a new king arose, and a new generation, which knew not Joseph, the hearts of these were turned to hate them. This is said to be of the Lord: not that he put any hatred into them, there was no need of that; there is enough of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:26

He sent Moses his servant ,.... Into Egypt, to deliver his people Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians; in which, as in other things, he approved himself to be a faithful servant to the Lord; of this mission of his, see Exodus 3:10 . In this he was a type of Christ, who appeared in the form of a servant, and really was one; God's righteous servant as Mediator, though his Son as a divine Person; sent by him to redeem his people out of worse than Egyptian bondage, from sin, Satan, the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:27

They showed his signs among them ,.... The Egyptians to whom they were sent; that is, Moses and Aaron did. In the original it is, "the words of his signs" F24 דברי אתותיו "verba signorum suorum", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Junius & Tremellius, &c.; . They declared the words of God to them, that he would do such signs and wonders among them; or inflict such plagues upon them, in case they did not let Israel go: or they performed them according to the word of the Lord, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:28

He sent darkness, and made it dark ,.... The land of Egypt; either he, God, or it, darkness, made it dark, or it was made dark; the Targum is, "made them dark;' that is, the Egyptians; darkness was a messenger of the Lord's, who forms the light and creates darkness; it came at his word and covered all the land, excepting the dwellings of Israel; even a thick darkness that might be felt, so that the Egyptians could not see one another, nor rise from their place for three days together;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:29

He turned their waters into blood ,.... With which Egypt abounded; their streams, rivers, ponds, and pools, so that they had no water to drink; a just judgment upon them for shedding the innocent blood of infants, by drowning them in their rivers; this was the first of the ten plagues, Exodus 7:19 , with this compare the second and third vials poured out on spiritual Egypt, whereby blood will be given to antichrist, and to the antichristian states, for they are worthy, having shed so much... read more

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance ,.... The land of Egypt, the moist, marshy, and watery places of it, the banks of the river Nile, out of the slime and mud of which these sprung; or, as Kimchi observes, wherever there were waters in the land there were frogs, for these came out of the streams, rivers, and ponds; this is the second plague, Exodus 8:3 . In the chambers of their kings ; that is, they came into the chambers of their kings; not that they were produced there; they... read more

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies ,.... Or a "mixture" F26 ערב "mixtura insectarum", Pagninus, Montanus; "colluvies insectarum", Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis; "mista bestiarum", Vatablus; "colluvies animalium", Junius & Tremellius. of various insects, and, as some interpret it, of wild beasts; and so Kimchi says evil beasts are meant, which were raised up to go into all their borders; the Arabic version renders it "dogflies", after the Septuagint; See Gill on Psalm... read more

He gave them hail for rain ,.... Egypt, at least part of it, was not used to rain, but was watered by the overflowings of the Nile; but now it had hail for rain, and a grievous hail storm it was, such as was never seen in the land of Egypt before; hail being rare, if ever there, and so frost and snow F1 Horat. Carmin. l. 3. Ode 26. ; this was the seventh plague, Exodus 9:18 , compare with this the terrible storm of hail which will fall on men at the pouring out of the seventh vial on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:33

He smote their vines also, and their fig trees ,.... So that they died; for in Psalm 78:47 , it is said, he "killed" them; and it is not only used in common speech with us, but with classical writers F2 "----interice messes", Virgil. Georgic. l. 4. "Neque herbas crescere et interfici", Ciceron. Oeconom: ex Xenophon, l. 3. to speak of killing inanimate things, as trees, herbs, &c.; That is, the hail smote them, or God by the hail; these are particularly mentioned because most... read more
