Footnotes
- 54 Heb “and there came a.…”
- 55 Heb “heavy,” or “severe.”
- 56 Here, and in the next phrase, the word “house” has to be taken as an adverbial accusative of termination.
- 57 The Hebrew text has the singular here.
- 58 Concerning the connection of “the land was ruined” with the preceding, S. R. Driver (Exodus, ) suggests reading with the , , and ; this would call for adding a conjunction before the last clause to make it read, “into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was …” The Hebrew word תִּשָּׁחֵת (tishakhet) is a strong word; it is the Niphal imperfect of שָׁחַת (shakhat) and is translated “ruined.” If the classification as imperfect stands, then it would have to be something like a progressive imperfect (the land was being ruined); otherwise, it may simply be a preterite without the vav (ו) consecutive. The verb describes utter devastation. This is the verb that is used in Gen 13:10 to describe how Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Swarms of flies would disrupt life, contaminate everything, and bring disease.
