The
Second Plague: Frogs מכת צפרדע
וַיֹּאמֶר
ה' אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, בֹּא אֶל-פַּרְעֹה;
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו, כֹּה אָמַר ה', שַׁלַּח אֶת-עַמִּי,
וְיַעַבְדֻנִי. וְאִם-מָאֵן אַתָּה, לְשַׁלֵּחַ:
הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי, נֹגֵף אֶת-כָּל-גְּבוּלְךָ--בַּצְפַרְדְּעִים.
וְשָׁרַץ הַיְאֹר, צְפַרְדְּעִים, וְעָלוּ וּבָאוּ בְּבֵיתֶךָ,
וּבַחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבְךָ וְעַל-מִטָּתֶךָ; וּבְבֵית עֲבָדֶיךָ
וּבְעַמֶּךָ, וּבְתַנּוּרֶיךָ וּבְמִשְׁאֲרוֹתֶיך. וּבְכָה
וּבְעַמְּךָ, וּבְכָל-עֲבָדֶיךָ--יַעֲלוּ, הַצְפַרְדְּעִים And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto
him: Thus saith the LORD: Let My people go, that they may
serve Me: And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will
smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall swarm
with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and
into thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house
of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens,
and into thy kneading-troughs: And the frogs shall come up
both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy
servants. The Plague: Additionally, we see a "Measure for Measure" here too.
Like the Egyptian masters that exerted their power and
invaded every aspect of their Jewish slaves' lives,
stripping them of privacy that lends to dignity, so did the
frogs invaded every aspect of the Egyptians' lives, crowding
them relentlessly everywhere they went. The Ten Plagues of Egypt: Information and more
