Exodus 10:26 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 10:21-29

Here is, I. The plague of darkness brought upon Egypt, and a most dreadful plague it was, and therefore is put first of the ten in Ps. 105:28; though it was one of the last; and in the destruction of the spiritual Egypt it is produced by the fifth vial, which is poured out upon the seat of the beast, Rev. 16:10. His kingdom was full of darkness. Observe particularly concerning this plague, 1. That it was a total darkness. We have reason to think, not only that the lights of heaven were... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:26

We know not with what we must serve the Lord, etc. - The law was not yet given; the ordinances concerning the different kinds of sacrifices and offerings not known. What kind and what number of animals God should require to be sacrificed, even Moses himself could not as yet tell. He therefore very properly insists on taking the whole of their herds with them, and not leaving even one hoof behind. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:20-29

The Ninth Plague-the darkness. I. CONSIDER THE PLAGUE ITSELF . As with the plagues of the gnats and of the boils and blains, so with this plague—there is no record of any formal intimation of its coming. If such an intimation was absent, we feel that there was good reason for the absence. Though Pharaoh had abased himself in great fear and consternation, so that he might get rid of the locusts, yet the moment they were gone all his stubbornness returned in full force. What use... read more

1 . In its extent, covering as it did "all the land d Egypt;" 2 . In its intensity—"they saw not one another" ( Exodus 10:23 )—"darkness which may be felt" ( Exodus 10:21 ); 3 . In its circumscription, extending, as it did, to all Egypt except only the land of Goshen ( Exodus 10:23 ). These circumstances made Pharaoh at once recognise its heaven-sent character, and request its removal of Moses, whom he sought to persuade by conceding the departure of the Israelites with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:21-29

The plague of darkness. This was the third of the great plagues, and it came, as in certain previous instances, unannounced. I. THE LAST OF THE ADMONITORY PLAGUES ( Exodus 10:21-24 ). The plagues, viewed as trials of Pharaoh's character, end with this one. The death of the first-born was a judgment, and gave Pharaoh no further space for repentance. We may view this last of the nine plagues: 1 . As awful in itself. Whatever its natural basis, the preternatural... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:24-26

Compromise the favourite resort of the worldly-minded, the abomination of the spiritually-minded. Pharaoh had tried compromise more than once and failed ( Exodus 8:25-28 ; Exodus 10:8-11 ); but he must needs try it again. This marks the tenacity with which the worldly-minded cling to what they think the height of policy, but what is, in reality, a weak and unworthy subterfuge. Pharaoh did not wish to grant any part of the request of Moses; but, if he must yield to some extent, he would... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:25-26

Moses absolutely refuses the suggested compromise. He had already declared on a former occasion, "With our young and with our old we will go; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go" ( Exodus 10:9 ). He is not inclined to retract now, after two additional plagues, what he had demanded before them. He does not refuse, however, to set forth his reasons. The cattle must go because the feast which they are about to keep requires sacrifices- they must... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:1-29

Nine plagues (7:14-10:29)The timing, intensity and extent of these plagues show clearly that they were sent by God. It also seems fairly clear that God used the physical characteristics of the Nile valley to produce them.When the first plague struck, it polluted all the water in the Nile and in the irrigation canals and reservoirs connected with it, resulting in all the fish dying. As the dead fish floated to the banks they would force the frogs out of the water, thereby producing the second... read more
