And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Tell Aaron to stretch out his hand with his staff over the streams, rivers, and ponds, and make frogs come up all over the land of Egypt.'
God is instructing Moses and Aaron to bring the second plague upon Egypt - covering the entire land with frogs from all the water sources.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during the famous ten plagues that God sent upon Egypt to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. The frog plague was the second plague, following the turning of water into blood. In Egyptian culture, frogs were associated with fertility and the goddess Heket, making this plague particularly significant as it turned their symbol of blessing into a curse.
