Read Exodus 8.1-15. In 8.1-15: The second plague: swarms of frogs invade the land. The second plague involves the rupture of the created boundary that separates creatures of the water (frogs) and the dry land of Egypt. In verse 3: The same word, swarm, occurs in the creation story in Gen 1.20 to describe the creatures of the waters. In verse 7: On the magicians, see comment on 7.22. In verse 8: This is the first of several times when Pharaoh will seem to surrender but then quickly harden his heart and refuse to let the Israelites go (v. 15, see 8.28, 32: 9.27-28, 34-35; 10.16-17, 20.24, 27). In verse 15: On Pharaoh's hardened heart, see comment on 4.21. Comments or Questions..
