Exodus 10:1, Exodus 10:7 KJV

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 Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:1

Verse 1 1.And the Lord said. Moses passes on to another plague, whereby God took vengeance on the treachery and obstinacy of the wicked king; viz., that He gave over the remaining produce of the year, which He had spared, to be eaten and devoured by locusts. And this was no ordinary punishment, to destroy Egypt by dearth and famine, when all their corn had perished. But, before Moses proceeds to this, he again relates that he was the proclaimer of this plague, and that God had announced to him... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1

Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart . The word " I " is expressed in the original and is emphatic. It is not merely that Pharaoh has hardened himself ( Exodus 9:34 ); but I have "dulled" or "hardened" him. Therefore condescend to see him once more, and to bear my message to him. The heart of his servants . Compare Exodus 9:34 . As Pharaoh's determination began to waver the influence of the court officers increased. Hence the frequent mention of them in this part of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1-2

God's mercies and wondrous works to be kept in perpetual remembrance. Man's forgetfulness of God's benefits is one of the saddest features of his existing condition and character. He needs continual urging and exhortation to the duty of remembering them. I. HE FORGETS ESPECIALLY THOSE BENEFITS WHICH ARE CONSTANT AND CONTINUOUS . (a) Temporal benefits. Life, strength, health, intellect, the power to act, the capacity to enjoy, the ability to think, speak, write,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1-7

A new Message. Even yet God had not done with the King of Egypt. He sends Moses again to ply him with reproof and threatening. The final stroke is put off as long as possible. If "by all means" ( 1 Corinthians 9:22 ) Pharaoh can be saved, he will not be lost for want of the opportunity. God tells Moses his design in dealing with the monarch as he did, and gives him a new message to carry to the royal presence. I. GOD 'S DESIGN ( Exodus 10:1 , Exodus 10:2 ). He had hardened... read more

God's Judgments on sin and their results for the righteous and the wicked. I. THE FRUITS FOR GOD 'S PEOPLE OF HIS JUDGMENTS UPON HIS ENEMIES . 1 . The plagues of Egypt were to be an example to all the generations of Israel ( Exodus 10:2 ). 2 . It was the prophecy of how God will sanctify his people in the latter days. 3 . How God sanctifies his people now. Their prolonged waiting and suffering is storing up power for the future. The night of trial... read more

The Eighth Plague: the locusts. I. CONSIDER THE EMPHATIC STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE HARDENING OF THE HEART . In Exodus 9:34 we are told that when the hail and the thunder ceased, Pharaoh hardened his heart, he and his servants. Note here two things: 1 . How Pharaoh's heart was hardened just after he had made a confession of sin; from which we see how little he understood by the word "sin," and how little he meant by the confession. 2 . The... read more
