Context of Exodus 8:7

5And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt. 6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. 8And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah. 9And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?

Commentaries on Exodus 8:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7The magicians did so - A little juggling or dexterity of hand might have been quite sufficient for the imitation of this miracle, because frogs in abundance had already been produced; and some of these kept in readiness might have been brought forward by the magicians, as proofs of their pretended power and equality in influence to Moses and Aaron.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7The magicians would seem to have been able to increase the plague, but not to remove it; hence, Pharaoh‘s application to Moses, the first symptoms of yielding.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7-8The magicians were able to duplicate the plague in some sense, but Pharaoh did not ask them to rid the land of the frogs. Instead, he begged Moses to ask God to take them away. He already knew where the real power was.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 77. the magicians did so with their enchantments--required no great art to make the offensive reptiles appear on any small spot of ground. What they undertook to do already existed in abundance all around. They would better have shown their power by removing the frogs.Read the comment
