John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:22

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness over all the land of Egypt three days. The eleventh, twelveth, and thirteenth days of the month Abib; with this compare the fifth vial, Revelation 16:10 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:23

They saw not one another ,.... Not only the luminaries of heaven were covered and beclouded with the darkness, so that they were of no use to them; but the fogs and vapours which occasioned it were so damp and clammy that they put out their fires, lamps, and candles, so that they could receive no benefit from them: neither rose up any from his place for three days ; from the place of his habitation, not being able to find the way to the door, or however not able to do any business... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:24

And Pharaoh called unto Moses ,.... After the three days, as the Targum of Jonathan, when the darkness was over, or at least much diminished, fearing that still worse evils would befall him: and said, go ye, serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds be stayed ; stopped or remained behind, as a pledge and security of their return; and these the rather he was desirous of retaining, because of the great loss of cattle he had sustained by the murrain and boils upon them, and by the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:25

And Moses said, thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings ,.... Sheep, rams, and goats for sacrifices, and oxen for burnt offerings; and that of his own, as Jarchi interprets it; but rather the meaning is, that besides having their little ones with them, they must be allowed also to take their cattle for sacrifices and burnt offerings: that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God ; might have wherewith to offer up in sacrifice to him as he shall require. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:26

Our cattle also shall go with us ,.... Of every kind, of the flocks and of the herds: there shall not an hoof be left behind ; not a single creature that has an hoof: it is a proverbial expression, signifying that they should carry all that belonged to them with them: for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God ; something of every kind and sort, all they had being devoted to his service, and to be yielded to him upon demand: and we know not with what we must serve the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:27

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart ,.... Yet more and more: and he would not let them go ; his heart was set against it, his will was resolute, and he was determined never to let them go. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:28

And Pharaoh said unto him ,.... To Moses: get thee from me ; be gone from my presence, I have nothing more to say to thee, or do with thee: take heed to thyself ; lest mischief befall thee from me, or those about me: see my face no more ; neither here nor elsewhere: for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die ; this was a foolish as well as a wicked speech, when he lay at the mercy of Moses, rather than Moses at his; he being made a god unto him, and had such power to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:29

And Moses said, thou hast spoken well ,.... Not that which was good, in a moral sense, for it was very wicked, but what would eventually prove true: I will see thy face again no more ; which may be understood either conditionally, except he was sent for, and he desired to see him, he would not come of himself; or absolutely knowing by a spirit of prophecy that he should be no more sent unto him, and that Pharaoh should in a little time be drowned in the Red sea, when he would be seen no... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:14

Before them there were no such locusts, etc. - They exceeded all that went before, or were since, in number, and in the devastations they produced. Probably both these things are intended in the passage. See Exodus 10:15 . read more
