Exodus 9:20 - Exposition

He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh . It is a new fact that any of the Egyptians had been brought to "fear the word of Jehovah." Probably, the effect of the plagues had been gradually to convince a considerable number, not so much that Jehovah was the one True God as that he was a great and powerful god, whose chastisements were to be feared. Consequently there were now a certain number among the "servants of Pharaoh" who pro-fired by the warning given ( Exodus 9:19 ), and housed their cattle and herdsmen, in anticipation of the coming storm.
