Éxodo 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:7

And the magicians did so with their enchantments,
&c] By their secret wiles and juggling tricks:

and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt,
that is, some few, as a proof of their art and skill, and to show that Moses and Aaron did but what they could do; but what they did either were only in appearance, deceiving the sight of Pharaoh and his people, or real frogs were brought to them by the help of devils, but not in such numbers: and besides, this was adding to the plague, and not diminishing it; had they done anything to the purpose, they should have removed it at once, or destroyed the frogs; but that they could not do, of which Pharaoh being sensible, he therefore entreated for the removal of them by Moses and Aaron. To this plague there seems to be some reference at the pouring out of the sixth vial, ( Revelation 16:13 Revelation 16:14 ) .

Éxodo 8:7 In-Context

5 Luego el SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés: «Dile a Aarón que extienda su vara sobre ríos, arroyos y lagunas, para que todo Egipto se llene de ranas».

6 Aarón extendió su brazo sobre las aguas de Egipto, y las ranas llegaron a cubrir todo el país.

7 Pero, mediante sus artes secretas, los magos hicieron lo mismo, de modo que hicieron venir ranas sobre todo Egipto.

8 Entonces el faraón mandó llamar a Moisés y a Aarón, y les dijo:—Ruéguenle al SEÑOR que aleje las ranas de mí y de mi pueblo, y yo dejaré ir al pueblo para que le ofrezca sacrificios.

9 Moisés le respondió:—Dime cuándo quieres que ruegue al SEÑOR por ti, por tus funcionarios y por tu pueblo. Las ranas se quedarán solo en el Nilo, y tú y tus casas se librarán de ellas.
