Exodus 10:13 - Exposition

The Lord brought an east wind . Locusts generally come with a wind; and, indeed, cannot fly far without one. An east wind would in this case have brought them from northern Arabia, which is a tract where they are often bred in large numbers. Denon, the French traveller, notes that an enormous cloud of locusts which invaded Egypt during his stay, came from the east. All that day . The rest of the day on which Moses and Aaron had had their interview with the Pharaoh.
