And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
Moses said to Pharaoh, 'You have the honor of choosing: when should I pray for you, your officials, and your people to get rid of the frogs from you and your houses, so they'll only stay in the river?'
Moses is giving Pharaoh the privilege of deciding exactly when he should pray to God to remove the plague of frogs from Egypt.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Exodus, God was using Moses to confront Pharaoh and demand the release of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as part of a series of miraculous plagues to demonstrate divine authority. This verse occurs during the second plague, where an overwhelming infestation of frogs covered the land, symbolizing God's control over nature and Pharaoh's inability to resist. Moses' question to Pharaoh about when to remove the frogs highlights the tension between human pride and God's sovereignty in the narrative.
