The history still proceeds through this Chapter. Pharaoh's heart remaining in the same obduracy, Moses is commissioned by the Lord to inflict the eighth and ninth plagues in the punishment of Egypt; the locusts infest his coast, and darkness of three days continuance beclouds his land. At length after several ineffectual remonstrances on the part of Moses, and entreaties on the part of Pharaoh: Moses is driven from his presence with the threatening of the loss of life, if ever he appeared again before him
We lose much of the beauty of this interesting history, unless we read it spiritually as well as historically; and behold in it the type of our deliverance from sin and bondage by the glorious conquests of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a sweet thought, when the subject is considered in this point of view, is it to a tried soul in the hour of distress, that God's glory in the deliverance of his people is the great object all along intended from the exercises of the faithful. Psalms 107:7; Job 23:10.
