Contextual Overview
1And YHWH says to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me; 2and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs; 3and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs; 4indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up." 5And YHWH says to Moses, "Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt." 6And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt; 7and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt. 8And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, "Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH."9And Moses says to Pharaoh, "Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?" 10And he says, "Tomorrow." And he says, "According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron,.... He sent for them:
and said, entreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; he begins now to know the Lord, whom he knew not before, by the judgments he executed on him, to acknowledge his hand in those judgments, and tacitly to own that none else could remove them; and his proud heart was so far humbled, as to beg the favour of Moses and Aaron to intercede with the Lord to cause this plague to cease, which was intolerable: and it may be observed from other instances in history, somewhat similar to this, that whole cities and countries have been deserted by their inhabitants on a like occasion, as those of Paeonia and Dardania, in the account above given; and Justin reports u of the Abderites, a people of Thrace, that because of the multitude of frogs and mice, were obliged to leave their native country, and seek new habitations; and Diodorus Siculus w and Aelianus x relate much the same of a people called Autariatae; and Varro y affirms, that in a city in France, the inhabitants of it were drove away by frogs; which instances, as they show how very distressing such a calamity is, so they serve to illustrate and confirm the truth of the divine history, cavilled at by infidels, when anything is related in it exceeding the common and ordinary course of things:
and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord; as had been frequently required of him, Exodus 5:1.
