Exodus 8:7

"Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt."

Key Reflection

This passage illustrates God's powerful judgment on Egypt through Aaron, showing His ability to bring about miraculous plagues to enforce His will. The appearance of frogs in great numbers symbolizes a severe affliction that disrupts the daily life and economy of Egypt, underscoring the severity of divine retribution and Moses' authority as God’s spokesman.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The magicians would seem to have been able to increase the plague, but not to remove it; hence, Pharaoh’s application to Moses, the first symptoms of yielding.
