The Key Word — סָר֣וּ, sa.Rugenerated
The verb סָר֣וּ (sa.Ru) is a Qal perfect form meaning 'they will depart' or 'they will turn aside.' It indicates a complete action, showing that the frogs will be removed from their current location.
This verb is often used in contexts involving removal or avoidance, and in this case, it signifies the departure of the frogs from Pharaoh and his people, highlighting the temporary nature of the plague.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations generally agree on the meaning of סָר֣וּ as 'depart' or 'leave.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all use similar wording to convey this action.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb סָר֣וּ governs the sentence, indicating the action of the frogs departing. This is followed by multiple prepositional phrases that elaborate on from where the frogs will depart.

Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

This translation may reflect a broader understanding of the event, emphasizing the significance of Pharaoh's awareness of God's actions.

3. Nahal, a torrent-bed, or valley through which water flows in the rainy season only, Nu 34:5, etc; frequently rendered "brook," Nu 13:28 Job 6:15, etc. Such streams are to the…
