The Eighth Plague: Locusts

¹⁶Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.¹⁷Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”

Summary

In this verse, Pharaoh's servants acknowledge the devastating impact of the plagues on Egypt and urge Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. It reveals the gradual crumbling of Pharaoh's resistance and the recognition of God's power even among his own officials. Despite their plea, Pharaoh's heart remains hardened, illustrating the ongoing battle between God's sovereignty and human pride. This verse marks a pivotal moment in the Exodus narrative, foreshadowing the imminent release of the Israelites from bondage.

Forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once - What a strange case! And what a series of softening and hardening, of sinning and repenting! Had he not now another opportunity of returning to God? But the love of gain, and the gratification of his own self-will and obstinacy, finally prevailed.
