Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - That I may lay my hand on Egypt. Pharaoh's obstinacy was foreseen and foreknown. He was allowed to set his will against God's, in order that there might be a great display of Almighty power, such as would attract the attention both of the Egyptians generally and of all the surrounding nations. God's glory would be thereby promoted, and there would be a general dread of interfering with his people. (See Exodus 15:14-16; Deuteronomy 2:25; Deuteronomy 11:25, etc.) Bring forth my armies. See the comment on Exodus 6:26. Great judgments. See above, Exodus 6:6.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay.--Heb., Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay. No relation of effect and cause is here asserted as existing between the two clauses, which are co-ordinate.Mine armies, and my people. Rather, my armies, my people. The two expressions are in apposition--the second exegetical of the first.Great judgments.--See the comment on Exodus 6:6.
