Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Grasshoppers - Rather locusts (compare Exo 10:4-6, Exo 10:14-15; Joel 1; 2; Psa 78:46) |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Without number - That is, so many that it was not easy to number them. And not in a regular army to engage, but in a confused swarm, to plunder the country. Yet Israel, being forsaken of God, had not spirit to make head against them; God fighting against them with those very terrors, with which otherwise he would have fought for them. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
They came up with their cattle and their tents - All this proves that they were different tribes of wanderers who had no fixed residence; but, like their descendants the Bedouins or wandering Arabs, removed from place to place to get prey for themselves and forage for their cattle. |

15 For they covered [03680] the face [05869] of the whole earth [0776], so that the land [0776] was darkened [02821]; and they did eat [0398] every herb [06212] of the land [0776], and all the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] which the hail [01259] had left [03498]: and there remained [03498] not any green thing [03418] in the trees [06086], or in the herbs [06212] of the field [07704], through all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
4 Else [03588], if thou refuse [03986] to let my people [05971] go [07971], behold, to morrow [04279] will I bring [0935] the locusts [0697] into thy coast [01366]:
5 And they shall cover [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776], that one cannot be able [03201] to see [07200] the earth [0776]: and they shall eat [0398] the residue [03499] of that which is escaped [06413], which remaineth [07604] unto you from the hail [01259], and shall eat [0398] every tree [06086] which groweth [06779] for you out of the field [07704]:
6 And they shall fill [04390] thy houses [01004], and the houses [01004] of all thy servants [05650], and the houses [01004] of all the Egyptians [04714]; which neither thy fathers [01], nor thy fathers [01]' fathers [01] have seen [07200], since the day [03117] that they were upon the earth [0127] unto this day [03117]. And he turned [06437] himself, and went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547].
