Exodus 9:14,Exodus 9:15

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 9:13-21

Here is, I. A general declaration of the wrath of God against Pharaoh for his obstinacy. Though God has hardened his heart (Exod. 9:12), yet Moses must repeat his applications to him; God suspends his grace and yet demands obedience, to punish him for requiring bricks of the children of Israel when he denied them straw. God would likewise show forth a pattern of long-suffering, and how he waits to be gracious to a rebellious and gainsaying people Six times the demand had been made in vain, yet... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:14

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart ,.... Not meaning particularly the plague of the hail, which next follows, so called, because it consisted of various things, as hail, rain, lightning, and thunder, as Aben Ezra, and who observes, that Pharaoh was more terrified with this plague than with any other; but rather all the plagues yet to come, for by them are not meant all the plagues that were in the power of God to inflict, which how many and great they are none can... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 9:14

Verse 14 14.For I will at this time. The unexpressed condition is implied, “unless he should submit himself to God.” The meaning is, that although he had already chastised his pride, yet that this had been done gently and in moderation; but that He now would use a heavier scourge, since the lighter rods had been unavailing. Thus his ingratitude is reproved, because he had not acknowledged that he had been spared, in order that, having suffered only some trifling losses, (108) he might return to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:13-16

The earth is the Lord's and the fulness of it. In this comprehensive message from Jehovah, standing as it does about midway in the course of his judgments upon Pharaoh, we have a peculiar and impressive application of the foregoing word of the Psalmist ( Psalms 24:1 ). The word "earth," it will be noticed, stands in a very prominent position in each of the Exodus 9:14 , Exodus 9:15 , Exodus 9:16 . Evidently, then, we should give the word an equally prominent position in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:13-19

The method of the Divine Rule over bad men illustrated by God's message to Pharaoh. The message illustrates, 1. THE LONG - SUFFERING OF GOD TOWARDS SINNERS . "For now might I have stretched out my hand and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence"( Exodus 9:15 ). Pharaoh had opposed himself to God so long, had shown himself in various ways so wicked, that he well deserved to have been stricken with plague and made to perish miserably. He had been insolent and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:13-21

Mercy in Judgment. I. GOD 'S PURPOSE IN DEALING WITH THE WICKED BY CHASTISEMENT AND NOT BY JUDGMENT (13-16). God might have desolated the land, and let Israel pass unquestioned through the midst of it. But in Pharaoh and his people the Lord would, by foretold, continued, deepening chastisements, reveal the terror and resistlessness of his power. He would make the heart of the oppressor quail in every age and nation, and stir up the oppressed to hope and prayer.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:13-35

The plague of hail. This plague was introduced with ampler remonstrance. Moses was commanded to proceed to Pharaoh, and to warn him in stronger and more decisive language than he had yet employed of the folly of this insane resistance. Exodus 9:15 should probably be translated, "For now indeed had I stretched forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence, thou hadst then been out off from the earth;" and then Exodus 9:16 will give the reason why God had not cut... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 9:14

I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart . A very emphatic announcement. At this time contrasts the immediate future with the past, and tells Pharaoh that the hour of mild warnings and slight plagues is gone by. Now he is to expect something far more terrible God will send all his plagues —every worst form of evil—in rapid succession; and will send them against his heart . Each will strike a blow on that perverse and obdurate heart—each will stir his nature to its... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 9:13-34

With the plague of hail begins the last series of plagues, which differ from the former both in their severity and their effects. Each produced a temporary, but real, change in Pharaoh’s feelings.Exodus 9:14All my plagues - This applies to all the plagues which follow; the effect of each was foreseen and foretold. The words “at this time” point to a rapid and continuous succession of blows. The plagues which precede appear to have been spread over a considerable time; the first message of Moses... read more
