Exodus 8:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. The frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt - In some ancient writers we have examples of a similar plague. The Abderites, according to Orosius, and the inhabitants of Paeonia and Dardania, according to Athenaeus, were obliged to abandon their country on account of the great numbers of frogs by which their land was infested.
