Exodus 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 8:14

And they gathered them together upon heaps
Swept them up, and laid them in heaps out of the way:

and the land stank;
with the stench of the dead frogs, which was another proof and evidence of the reality of the miracle; and that dead frogs will cause such an ill smell appears from the above account of what befell the inhabitants of Paeonia and Dardania, unless that should be the same with this, only the names of places and some circumstances altered; (See Gill on Exodus 8:16).

Exodus 8:14 In-Context

12 So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh.
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; the frogs died out of the houses and courtyards and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and would not listen to them; as the LORD had said.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your rod and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
