📚 Historical Context

This verse comes during the second plague God sent upon Egypt when Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go free. Frogs had invaded every part of Egyptian life - their homes, bedrooms, ovens, and kneading bowls. Moses is now telling Pharaoh exactly how God will remove this plague when Pharaoh agrees to let the people worship in the wilderness.
