Ex. 8:3–4 The account emphasizes that the effects will extend beyond the water of the Nile.

Ex. 8:7 This is the third time that the magicians observed the sign Aaron performed and then did the same by their secret arts (see 7:11–12 and note; 7:22). In each case, the narrator offers no further comment on the magicians’ work but focuses instead on how the events show God’s power.

Ex. 8:8 Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to plead with the Lord to take away the frogs. Pharaoh knows the magicians of Egypt cannot do this. Even after this demonstration of God’s power, Pharaoh thinks it is up to him whether to keep Israel or to let the people go.

Ex. 8:14–15 Even when the Lord removes the frogs as Pharaoh asks, Pharaoh still refuses to obey.

Ex. 8:15 As the Lord had said (see 7:13; 22; 8:19; also 9:12, 35) further underscores that God controls the events.

Ex. 8:18–19 Some of Pharaoh’s servants (see also 10:7) recognize that the God of Moses and Aaron has power over Egypt. Pharaoh’s persistent defiance is harming his own people.

Ex. 8:20–21 In his message to Pharaoh the Lord refers to Israel as my people (v. 20; see 3:7) and to Egypt as your people (8:21). God will treat the two groups differently in the fourth plague.

Ex. 8:22 The land of Goshen (perhaps the eastern delta in Egypt) was originally given to Jacob and his family (Gen. 47:4–6). that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. The Lord states repeatedly that the purpose of the plagues is that Pharaoh and the Egyptians would know who the Lord is (see note on Ex. 5:2).

Ex. 8:28 Even as he asks for Moses to intercede for him, Pharaoh tries to preserve some appearance of power by setting the conditions under which he would let Israel go (only you must not go very far away).
