Contextual Overview

1 Then the Lord told Moses, "Go to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord , the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go to worship me. 2 If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them, 3 the Lord will punish you. He will send a terrible disease on your farm animals that are in the fields. He will cause your horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, goats, and sheep to become sick. 4 But the Lord will treat Israel's animals differently from the animals of Egypt. None of the animals that belong to the Israelites will die. 5 The Lord has set tomorrow as the time he will do this in the land.'" 6 The next day the Lord did as he promised. All the farm animals in Egypt died, but none of the animals belonging to Israelites died. 7 The king sent people to see what had happened to the animals of Israel, and they found that not one of them had died. But the king was still stubborn and did not let the people go.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the Lord said unto Moses,.... The same day the plague of the flies was removed:

go in unto Pharaoh boldly, without any fear of him or his court:

and tell him, thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: speak in the name of Jehovah, the God whom the Hebrews worship, and who owns them for his people, and has a special love for them, and takes a special care of them, and is not ashamed to be called their God, as poor and as oppressed as they be:

let my people go, that they may serve me; this demand had been often made, and, though so reasonable, was refused.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

The Lord sends Moses to Pharaoh to inform him that, if he did not

let the Israelites depart, a destructive pestilence should be sent

among his cattle, 1-3;

while the cattle of the Israelites should be preserved, 4.

The next day this pestilence, which was the fifth plague, is sent,

and all the cattle of the Egyptians die, 5, 6.

Though Pharaoh finds that not one of the cattle of the Israelites

had died, yet, through hardness of heart, he refuses to let the

people go, 7.

Moses and Aaron are commanded to sprinkle handfuls of ashes from

the furnace, that the sixth plague, that of boils and blains,

might come on man and beast, 5, 9;

which having done, the plague takes place, 10.

The magicians cannot stand before this plague, which they can neither

imitate nor remove, 11.

Pharaoh's heart is again hardened, 12.

God's awful message to Pharaoh, with the threat of more severe

plagues than before, 13-17.

The seventh plague of rain, hail, and fire threatened, 18.

The Egyptians commanded to house their cattle that they might not

be destroyed, 19.

These who feared the word of the Lord brought home their servants

and cattle, and those who did not regard that word left their cattle

and servants in the fields, 20. 21.

The storm of hail, thunder, and lightning takes place, 22-24.

It nearly desolates the whole land of Egypt, 25,

while the land of Goshen escapes, 26.

Pharaoh confesses his sin, and begs an interest in the prayers of

Moses and Aaron, 27, 28.

Moses promises to intercede for him, and while he promises that the

storm shall cease, he foretells the continuing obstinacy of both

himself and his servants, 29. 30.

The flax and barley, being in a state of maturity, are destroyed by

the tempest, 31;

while the wheat and the rye, not being grown up, are preserved, 32.

Moses obtains a cessation of the storm, 33.

Pharaoh and his servants, seeing this, harden their hearts, and

refuse to let the people go, 34, 35.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse Exodus 9:1. The LORD God of the Hebrews — It is very likely that the term Lord, יהוה Yehovah, is used here to point out particularly his eternal power and Godhead; and that the term God, אלהי Elohey, is intended to be understood in the sense of Supporter, Defender, Protector, &c. Thus saith the self-existent, omnipotent, and eternal Being, the Supporter and Defender of the Hebrews, "Let my people go, that they may worship me."
