Exodus Chapter 8 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We continue our study on Exodus this week. In last week's lesson, we studied about how Moses used the rod to perform miracles before Pharaoh. He first cast down the rod and it became a serpent, then later he used the rod to cast it over the rivers of Egypt and all of them turned into blood. I. The Second Plague of Frogs Exo 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. Exo 8:2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: Exo 8:3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: Exo 8:4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. Again Moses goes before Pharaoh and demands the people be let go from the land and their bondage. If they were not released to serve the Lord, he warns in verse 2 that there would be a plague of frogs. Frogs were sacred to the Egyptians. One of their deities was “Heka” or “Heqet,” was a frog-headed goddess. She was the goddess of resurrection, fertility, and childbirth. They could not kill these sacred frogs, for this was not allowed under their religious system. They are warned that the frogs would come out of the Nile, which would be another blow at their religion, since they worshiped it. Frogs are symbols of uncleanness and of evil.
