Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Exodus 10:1

EXODUS CHAPTER 10 The reason why God hardened Pharaoh's heart, Exodus 10:1,2. Egypt threatened with locusts, Exodus 10:4. Pharaoh's servants persuade him to let the Israelites go, Exodus 10:7. Pharaoh inquires of Moses who are they that shall go to serve the Lord, Exodus 10:8. Of Moses's answer, Exodus 10:9. Pharaoh's reply, Exodus 10:10,11. Locusts come over all Egypt, Exodus 10:13. Pharaoh sends for Moses, and confesseth his sin, Exodus 10:16,17. Moses prays to God, Exodus 10:18. The plague is stayed, Exodus 10:19. Pharaoh's heart hardened, Exodus 10:20. The ninth plague, to wit, darkness over all Egypt, Exodus 10:22,23. Pharaoh would let Israel go, but without cattle, Exodus 10:24. Moses will not leave a hoof behind, Exodus 10:25,26. Pharaoh hardened, Exodus 10:27; and charges Moses, upon pain of death, never to appear in his sight any more, Exodus 10:28; which also came to pass, Exodus 10:29. No text from Poole on this verse.
