Summary

In this verse, Pharaoh requests Moses to pray to the Lord to remove the frogs from Egypt, promising to let the Israelites go if the frogs are taken away. Pharaoh's desperation is evident as he seeks relief from the plague of frogs that has overrun the land. This interaction reflects Pharaoh's wavering resolve and the power of God's judgment through the plagues. It also demonstrates the consequences of disobedience and the importance of seeking God's intervention in times of distress.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses,.... He heard his prayers, and fulfilled what he had promised Pharaoh: and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields; the word for "villages" signifies "courts" (b), and may be so rendered here; and the sense is, that they not only died out of their dwelling houses, but out of their courtyards, and even out of their gardens, orchards, and fields, so that there were none near them to give any manner of trouble and offence. And their dying, and remaining dead upon the spot, were clear proofs that they were real frogs that were produced, and not in appearance only, as the frogs of the magicians might be; God could have caused them to return to the river from whence they came, or have annihilated them, or removed them out of sight in an instant; but the killing of them, and letting them lie dead, proved the truth of the miracle, and gave apparent evidence of it both ways, both in the bringing and removing them.
