Context — The Eighth Plague: Locusts

1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,

2and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”

3So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me. 4But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

Exodus 10:2 Summary

[This verse is saying that God wants us to remember and tell others about the amazing things He has done, so that we can know Him better and honor Him. He did powerful miracles among the Egyptians, and He wants us to share those stories with our children and grandchildren, just like the Israelites were supposed to do. This helps us to see God's power and love, and to trust Him more, as we see in (Psalms 105:1-2) where it talks about telling of God's wonderful deeds. By sharing these stories, we can pass on our faith to the next generation and help them to know God as their LORD, as encouraged in (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did God want the Israelites to tell their children and grandchildren about the miraculous signs He performed among the Egyptians?

God wanted the Israelites to remember and pass down the stories of His power and redemption, so that they would know Him as the LORD, just as He says in Exodus 10:2, and as seen in Psalms 78:4, where it talks about telling the next generation about God's mighty deeds.

What does it mean that God 'dealt severely' with the Egyptians?

This phrase means that God judged the Egyptians for their sin and rebellion against Him, as seen in Exodus 10:2, and it is a demonstration of His holy and just character, similar to what is described in Romans 11:22, where God's kindness and severity are mentioned.

How does this verse relate to the concept of remembering and honoring God's work in our lives?

This verse emphasizes the importance of remembering and sharing the stories of God's work in our lives, just like the Israelites were to do, as a way of honoring Him and passing on our faith to the next generation, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 4:9 and Psalms 103:2.

What is the significance of God saying 'so that all of you may know that I am the LORD'?

This statement is a declaration of God's sovereignty and power, and it is a reminder that His actions are always intended to reveal His character and glory to His people, as seen in Isaiah 45:5-6, where God says He is the one who does these things so that people will know He is the LORD.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways that I can share the stories of God's work in my life with my family and friends, just like the Israelites were instructed to do?
How can I ensure that I am remembering and honoring God's work in my life, and not taking it for granted?
What are some 'miraculous signs' that God has performed in my life, and how can I use those experiences to tell others about His power and love?
How can I pass on my faith to the next generation, and what role does sharing my personal stories of God's work play in that process?
What does it mean for me to 'know that God is the LORD', and how can I deepen my understanding of His character and power?

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 10:2

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,.... Not of his sons and grandsons only; for Moses here, as Aben Ezra observes, was in the stead of Israel; and the sense is,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 10:2

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 10:2

Exodus 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’ s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD.Ver. 2. And that thou mayest tell.] The memory of God’ s magnalia, his great works, must be transmitted to posterity - “ Ut nati natorum et qui nascentur ab illis, ” that later ages may hear and fear this great God. See 1 Samuel 4:8.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 10:2

(2) That thou mayest tell.—Those who experience God’s mercies are bound to hand on the memory of what He has done for them to future generations. Natural gratitude would prompt such action. But, lest the duty should be neglected, the Israelites had it at this time constantly enjoined upon them (Exodus 12:26-27; Exodus 13:14-15; Deuteronomy 32:7; Joshua 4:6, &c):

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 10:2

Verse 2. That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son] That the miracles wrought at this time might be a record for the instruction of the latest posterity, that Jehovah alone, the God of the Hebrews, was the sole Maker, Governor, and Supporter of the heavens and the earth. Thus we find God so did his marvellous works, that they might be had in everlasting remembrance. It was not to crush the poor worm, Pharaoh, that he wrought such mighty wonders, but to convince his enemies, to the end of the world, that no cunning or power can prevail against him; and to show his followers that whosoever trusted in him should never be confounded.

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 10:2

1–20. The eighth plague. The locusts. From J, with short passages from E.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 10:2

2. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son — See instances of this in Psalms 78, 106.
