The LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them; See also: Exodus 4:21Romans 9:17Exodus 7:13-14and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am the LORD.” See also: Joel 1:3Deuteronomy 4:9Deuteronomy 6:20-22Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. See also: 1 Peter 5:61 Kings 21:29James 4:10Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, See also: Revelation 9:3Joel 2:25Exodus 8:10and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field. See also: Joel 1:4Exodus 9:32Joel 2:25Your 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. See also: Exodus 8:3Exodus 8:21Exodus 9:24Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?” See also: 1 Samuel 18:21Exodus 23:33Joshua 23:13Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will go?” See also: Exodus 10:24Exodus 8:8Exodus 12:31Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.” See also: Exodus 5:1Deuteronomy 31:12-131 Corinthians 5:7-8He said to them, “The LORD be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces. See also: Exodus 13:212 Chronicles 32:15Exodus 12:30-31Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. See also: Exodus 10:28Psalms 119:69Psalms 52:3-4The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.” See also: Exodus 7:19Exodus 10:4-5Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. See also: Exodus 14:21Jonah 1:4Jonah 4:8The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again. See also: Psalms 78:461 Kings 8:37Psalms 105:34-35For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt. See also: Exodus 10:5Joel 2:1-11Psalms 78:46Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. See also: Exodus 9:27Matthew 27:4Numbers 21:7Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death.” See also: Exodus 8:8Exodus 9:281 Kings 13:6Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD. See also: Luke 6:28Exodus 8:9Exodus 8:28-30The LORD sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt. See also: Joel 2:20Hebrews 11:29Exodus 13:18But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go. See also: Exodus 4:21Exodus 11:10Deuteronomy 2:30The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.” See also: Jude 1:62 Peter 2:42 Peter 2:17Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. See also: Psalms 105:28Revelation 16:10Amos 4:13They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. See also: Exodus 8:22Exodus 9:4Isaiah 42:16Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.” See also: Exodus 8:28Exodus 10:8-10Genesis 34:23Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. See also: Leviticus 16:9Leviticus 9:22Exodus 29:1-46Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.” See also: Acts 2:44-45Zechariah 14:202 Corinthians 8:5But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.

Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!” See also: 2 Chronicles 16:102 Chronicles 25:16Amos 7:13Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.” See also: Hebrews 11:27Exodus 12:30-31Exodus 11:4-8

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3). Christian unity

Ver. 13. Wind from "the south," (Sept.) or "east," ( Kadim) or perhaps blowing from the south-east. Bonfrere. The locusts would come from Ethiopia, or from Arabia, in both which countries they abound. Ludolf, &c. They lay their eggs in autumn, and hatch in spring. Frequently they devastate one country after another. They are very large in the East, and sometimes will fasten upon the heads of serpents, and destroy them, as they did on this occasion the Egyptians. Wisd.
xvi. 9. --- In Cyrene, bordering upon Egypt, it is requisite to encounter these creatures thrice in the year. C. See Lev. xi. 22.

Ver. 19. West. Heb. sea, (Mediterranean) to the north and west of Egypt. --- Red sea. Heb. "of suph," or green herbs, which abound there.

C. --- God drowned the locusts in this sea, by means of the wind, which often proves the destruction of those animals. Plin. xi. 29.
↑ 19Exodus 10:21
Ver. 21. Darkness upon the land of Egypt so thick that it may be felt. By means of the gross exhalations, which were to cause and accompany the darkness.
Ch. --- Thus were the Egyptians punished for keeping the Hebrews in dark prisons. M. --- Philo says, even a lighted lamp or fire was extinguished. The Egyptians were affrighted with hideous spectres and evil angels. Ps.
