Exodus 10:7

"Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of a miraculous fulfillment where everything—houses belonging to the Israelites, their servants, and even the Egyptians—is abundantly filled with provisions beyond anything previously known in Egypt's history. This event not only highlights divine judgment but also foreshadows the complete deliverance and blessing that would come upon the Israelites as they left Egypt.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For the first time the officers of Pharaoh intervene before the scourge is inflicted, showing at once their belief in the threat, and their special terror of the infliction. Also, for the first time, Pharaoh takes measures to prevent the evil; he does not indeed send for Moses and Aaron, but he permits them to be brought into his presence. Let the men go -i. e. the men only, not all the people. SeeExodus 10:8.
