Exodus 8:1−15: The Plagues of Egypt – The Plague of Frogs

In this passage, God sends a second plague on Egypt—frogs. This plague shows God’s power because He uses small, weak creatures to humble the proud king Pharaoh. Frogs fill every part of Egyptian life, making people miserable. Even though the magicians try to copy this plague, they cannot remove it. Pharaoh promises to let the Israelites go if the frogs are removed, but when the plague stops, he hardens his heart again and refuses to keep his promise. This shows how people can quickly forget their promises to God when their troubles are over.

v. 1-4: God tells Moses to warn Pharaoh again, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.” If Pharaoh refuses, God will send frogs that will come out of the river, enter houses, bedrooms, beds, ovens, and kneading bowls. Frogs will bother everyone in Egypt, showing that God’s judgment cannot be avoided (v. 1-4 a).
