Exodus 8:4-6
New English Translation

4 Frogs[a] will come up against you, your people, and all your servants.”’”[b]

5 The Lord spoke to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Extend your hand with your staff[c] over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.’” 6 So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs[d] came up and covered the land of Egypt.

Footnotes

  1. Exodus 8:4 tn Here again is the generic use of the article, designating the class—frogs.
  2. Exodus 8:4 sn The word order of the Hebrew text is important because it shows how the plague was pointedly directed at Pharaoh: “and against you, and against your people, and against all your servants frogs will go up.”
  3. Exodus 8:5 sn After the instructions for Pharaoh (7:25-8:4), the plague now is brought on by the staff in Aaron’s hand (8:5-7). This will lead to the confrontation (vv. 8-11) and the hardening (vv. 12-15).
  4. Exodus 8:6 tn The noun is singular, a collective. B. Jacob notes that this would be the more natural way to refer to the frogs (Exodus, 260).
