CHAP. VIII.
Three more of the plagues of Egypt are related in this chapter, I. That of the frogs, which is, 1. Threatened, Exodus 8:1-4. 2. Inflicted, Exodus 8:5; Exodus 8:6. 3. Mimicked by the magicians, Exodus 8:7. 4. Removed, at the humble request of Pharaoh (Exodus 8:8-14), who yet hardens his heart, and, notwithstanding his promise while the plague was upon him (Exodus 8:8), refuses to let Israel go, Exodus 8:15. II. The plague of lice (Exodus 8:16; Exodus 8:17), by which, 1. The magicians were baffled (Exodus 8:18; Exodus 8:19), and yet, 2. Pharaoh was hardened, Exodus 8:19. III. That of flies. 1. Pharaoh is warned of it before (Exodus 8:20; Exodus 8:21), and told that the land of Goshen should be exempt from this plague, Exodus 8:22; Exodus 8:23. 2. The plague is brought, Exodus 8:24. 3. Pharaoh treats with Moses about the release of Israel, and humbles himself, Exodus 8:25-29. 4. The plague is thereupon removed (Exodus 8:31), and Pharaoh's heart hardened, Exodus 8:32.
