Contextual Overview

²⁰And YHWH says to Moses, "Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me; ²¹for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are. ²²And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land, ²³and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow."²⁴And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle. ²⁵And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land"; ²⁶and Moses says, "[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us! ²⁷We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us." ²⁸And Pharaoh says, "I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me"; ²⁹and Moses says, "Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH."

a division: Heb. a redemption

to morrow: or, by to-morrow

Reciprocal: Exodus 9:5 - a set time Exodus 10:4 - morrow 2 Kings 7:1 - To morrow

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will put a division between my people and thy people,.... Or, a "redemption" p; for by distinguishing them in his providence from the Egyptians, he might be said to redeem or deliver them; thus God makes a difference between his chosen people and the rest of the world, through his Son's redemption of them by his blood, out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation:

tomorrow shall this sign be: which, according to Bishop Usher, must be the twenty nineth day of Adar or February.

p פדות "redemptionem", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 8:23. And I will put a division — פדת peduth, a redemption, between my people and thy people; God hereby showing that he had redeemed them from those plagues to which he had abandoned the others.
