⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God is warning Pharaoh that if he won't free the Israelites, Egypt will be overwhelmed with frogs as punishment.

📚 Historical Context

This is part of the ten plagues God sent on Egypt to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelite slaves. Moses had already turned the Nile to blood, and now God was threatening the second plague - an invasion of frogs. Pharaoh had hardened his heart and refused to let God's people go despite the clear demonstration of God's power.
