20 qui timuit verbum Domini de servis Pharao fecit confugere servos suos et iumenta in domos

Exodus 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 9:20

He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of
Pharaoh
Who, if they had not the true fear of God, and were not sincere proselytes, yet had a servile fear of him, and dreaded his word, his threatening, his denunciations of judgments and predictions of future punishments; of which they had had many instances wherein they were fulfilled, and therefore had reason to fear that this also would, even the word that had been just now spoken: made his servants and cattle flee into the houses;
called home his servants, and drove his cattle in great haste out of the fields, and brought them home as fast as he could, and housed them; in which he acted the wise and prudent part, and showed a concern for his servants and his cattle, as well as believed the word of the Lord.

Exodus 9:20 In-Context

18 en pluam hac ipsa hora cras grandinem multam nimis qualis non fuit in Aegypto a die qua fundata est usque in praesens tempus
19 mitte ergo iam nunc et congrega iumenta tua et omnia quae habes in agro homines enim et iumenta et universa quae inventa fuerint foris nec congregata de agris cecideritque super ea grando morientur
20 qui timuit verbum Domini de servis Pharao fecit confugere servos suos et iumenta in domos
21 qui autem neglexit sermonem Domini dimisit servos suos et iumenta in agris
22 et dixit Dominus ad Mosen extende manum tuam in caelum ut fiat grando in universa terra Aegypti super homines et super iumenta et super omnem herbam agri in terra Aegypti
