16. The dust is turned into lice, which the magicians could not do

25. Pharaoh inclines to let the people go, but yet is hardened














The frogs will depart from you
This phrase indicates the cessation of the second plague, which was a direct response to Pharaoh's hardened heart. The departure of the frogs signifies God's control over creation and His ability to reverse the plagues He sends. It highlights the temporary nature of God's judgments when there is a call for repentance or acknowledgment of His power.

and your houses
The infestation of frogs had invaded personal spaces, symbolizing the pervasive nature of sin and its consequences. The removal from houses signifies a restoration of order and cleanliness, reflecting God's mercy in alleviating the suffering of the Egyptians despite Pharaoh's stubbornness.

and your officials
The mention of officials underscores the widespread impact of the plague, affecting not just common people but also the ruling class. This demonstrates that God's judgments are impartial and affect all levels of society. It also serves as a warning to those in authority about the consequences of opposing God's will.

and your people
The entire Egyptian population was affected by the plague, illustrating the collective suffering due to the decisions of their leader, Pharaoh. This communal aspect of the plague serves as a reminder of the corporate nature of sin and its repercussions on a nation.

they will remain only in the Nile.
The Nile, a source of life and sustenance for Egypt, becomes the sole habitat for the frogs after the plague. This return to their natural environment signifies a restoration of natural order. The Nile's mention also connects to the first plague, where the river was turned to blood, showing a pattern of God's control over Egypt's most vital resource. Theologically, it points to God's sovereignty over creation and His ability to use nature to fulfill His purposes.

Teaching Points
God's Sovereignty
The plagues demonstrate God's control over nature and His authority over earthly rulers. We can trust in God's ultimate power and plan.

The Consequences of Hardness of Heart
Pharaoh's refusal to heed God's command leads to suffering for his people. We should be mindful of the consequences of resisting God's will in our own lives.

God's Mercy and Judgment
While God judges Egypt, He also shows mercy by removing the frogs. This balance of justice and mercy is a theme throughout Scripture.

The Importance of Obedience
Moses and Aaron's obedience to God's instructions is crucial in the unfolding of His plan. Our obedience to God can lead to His purposes being fulfilled in our lives.

The Role of Intercession
Moses intercedes for Pharaoh, showing the power and importance of intercessory prayer. We are called to pray for others, even those who oppose us.
