Book of Exodus - Chapter 8 - Verse 8

8:8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.

Meaning

In this verse, Pharaoh is experiencing the consequences of his refusal to let the Israelites go. The land of Egypt is plagued by frogs, and Pharaoh is desperate to get rid of them. He calls on Moses and Aaron to entreat the Lord on his behalf, promising to let the Israelites go if the frogs are taken away. This demonstrates Pharaoh's recognition of the power of the Lord, despite his previous stubbornness. By asking Moses and Aaron to intercede on his behalf, Pharaoh acknowledges that only God has the ability to remove the frogs and bring relief to the people of Egypt. This verse highlights the theme of repentance and redemption, showing how even the most hardened hearts can be softened in the face of God's power and judgment.
