Context — The Plague on the Firstborn Foretold

6Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again. 7But among all the Israelites, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

8And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.

9The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.” 10Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.

Exodus 11:8 Summary

This verse, Exodus 11:8, shows that Moses was very upset when he left Pharaoh because Pharaoh refused to listen to God's message. The officials will eventually recognize God's power and bow before Moses, which is a fulfillment of God's promise to him, as seen in Exodus 3:18. This teaches us to trust in God's sovereignty, even when we face difficult circumstances or emotions, and to remember that God is always working to fulfill His plans, as seen in Romans 9:17 and Exodus 14:13-31. By trusting in God's power and promises, we can find comfort and peace, even in the midst of challenges.

What can we learn from Moses' emotional response in this verse?

Moses' anger in Exodus 11:8 teaches us that even in the midst of ministering to others, we can become emotionally drained and frustrated, but we must remember to trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Romans 9:17 and Romans 11:25-26.

Thy courtiers and great officers, who now are so insolent and obstinate, shall come down unto me, both by their own inclination and necessity, and in thy name, and by thy command. That follow thee; that are under thy conduct and command; as this or the like expression is used . In a great anger; not so much for the affront offered to himself, as for his incurable rebellion against God. Compare .

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 11:8

Exodus 11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.Ver. 8. In a great anger.] Heb., In heat of anger; wherewith in the cause of God he was blessedly blown up. Meekness here had been but mopishness.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 11:8

(8) All these thy servants—i.e., the high officers of the Court who were standing about Pharaoh. These grandees would come to Moses when the blow fell, and prostrate themselves before him as if he were their king, and beseech him to take his departure with all his nation. The details are given more fully and more graphically in this place than in the subsequent narrative (Exodus 12:31). In a great anger.—Heb., in heat of anger: i.e., burning with indignation. Moses had not shown this in his speech, which had been calm and dignified; but he here records what he had felt. For once his acquired “meekness” failed, and the hot natural temper of his youth blazed up. His life had been threatened—he had been ignominiously dismissed—he had been deprived of his right of audience for the future (Exodus 10:28). Under such circumstances, he “did well to be angry.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 11:8

Verse 8. And all these thy servants shall come] A prediction of what actually took place. See Exodus 12:31-33.

Exodus 12:31-33. come down] ‘from the palace, where the writer thinks of the ministers as assembled, after hearing the tidings of the calamity, and which he pictures as elevated above the surrounding city and country (cf. 2 Samuel 9, 2 Kings 6:33; 2 Kings 7:17)’ (Di. from Kn.). Get thee out, &c.] simply, Go out, thou and all, &c. that follow thee] Heb. that are at thy feet: Deuteronomy 11:10 Heb., Judges 4:10; Judges 8:5 Heb. al. in hot anger] viz. on account of what the Pharaoh had said, Exodus 10:27-28. The expression, as 1 Samuel 20:34 al.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 11:8
