The frogs
The Hebrew word for "frogs" is "צְפַרְדֵּעַ" (tsephardea). In the context of ancient Egypt, frogs were associated with fertility and life, often linked to the goddess Heqet, who was depicted as a frog or a woman with a frog's head. This plague, therefore, was a direct challenge to the Egyptian pantheon, demonstrating the LORD's supremacy over their deities. The presence of frogs in such abundance would have been both a nuisance and a symbolic dismantling of Egyptian religious beliefs.

will come up
The phrase "will come up" is derived from the Hebrew verb "עָלָה" (alah), meaning to ascend or rise. This verb is often used in the context of something emerging or appearing in a significant or overwhelming manner. The imagery here is of an unstoppable force, emphasizing the power and authority of God in executing judgment. It signifies not just a physical rising but a divine intervention that cannot be ignored or resisted.

on you
The phrase "on you" indicates a personal and direct impact. The plague was not just a distant event but something that would affect Pharaoh personally. This personal touch in the judgment underscores the LORD's intimate knowledge of and involvement in human affairs. It serves as a reminder that God's actions are purposeful and directed, aiming to reach the heart of Pharaoh and the Egyptian people.

and your people
"Your people" refers to the Egyptians, who were under Pharaoh's rule. The inclusion of the people in this judgment highlights the collective nature of sin and its consequences. It serves as a reminder that leadership carries responsibility, and the actions of a leader can bring repercussions upon the entire nation. This phrase also emphasizes the widespread nature of the plague, affecting every level of society.

and all your officials
The term "officials" is translated from the Hebrew "עֲבָדֶיךָ" (avadeka), meaning servants or ministers. This indicates that the plague would reach even the highest echelons of Egyptian society, sparing no one from its effects. It underscores the comprehensive nature of God's judgment, which does not discriminate based on status or position. This serves as a humbling reminder of the equality of all people before God and the futility of relying on earthly power or status for protection against divine will.
