And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
Glory over me. 'Vaunt thyself-assume all the glory of ordering me, who am the servant of Yahweh, to intercede. [Septuagint, Taxai pros me, 'command me at what time I shall pray.'] Another interpretation has been given to this obscure phrase-`Thou hast trusted in thine own power; then, fascinated by the deceitful miracle of the magicians, thou hast perversely exalted thyself against the God of heaven; now rather glory that thou hast in me an intercessor with God, whose prayers for thy deliverance He will not refuse to hear; and in proof that He is the only true God, and that I bear His commission, fix thou the time of deliverance.' [The first view, however, is the more correct, as paa'ar (H6286) in the Hithpael, followed by `al (H5921), signifies glory over, or against one (Judges 7:2; Isaiah 10:15).]
