Ver. 19. This is the finger of God.] An act of omnipotency, as Luk 11:20 Psalms 8:3. "The heavens are the work of God's fingers." Deus disponit membra pulicis et culicis, saith Augustine.
And he hearkened not to them.] Neither to Moses, nor to his own magicians, being akin to the catadupes that dwell at the fall of his river Nile, and are deaf.
