📚 Historical Context
This verse occurs during the fourth plague (flies) that God sent upon Egypt through Moses. Pharaoh had refused to let the Israelites leave Egypt, so God was demonstrating His power through increasingly severe plagues. Up to this point, the plagues had affected both Egyptians and Israelites, but starting with this plague, God began to protect the land of Goshen where His people lived.
