Context — The Second Plague: Frogs
8Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
9Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
10“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.” 12After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.Cross References

Exodus 8:10 Summary
[In Exodus 8:10, Pharaoh asked Moses to remove the frogs, and Moses agreed to do it the next day. This was so Pharaoh would know that the LORD is the one true God, and there is no one like Him, as also seen in Isaiah 45:5-6. Moses trusted in God's power and timing, and we can learn from his example, as seen in Psalm 37:7 and Proverbs 3:5-6. By trusting in God and proclaiming His greatness, we can point others to Him and bring glory to His name.]

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 8:10
And he said, tomorrow,.... Which according to Bishop Usher was the twenty sixth day of Adar, or February.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 8:10
And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. And he said, Tomorrow.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 8:10
Why not presently? Answ. 1. Because he hoped ere that time they might be removed, either by natural causes or by chance, and so he should not need the favour of Moses or his God. 2. Because he thought it a hard and long work to remove so vast a number of frogs, and that Moses might use divers ceremonies, as the magicians did, in his addresses to God, which would require some considerable time.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 8:10
Exodus 8:10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to thy word: that thou mayest know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our God.Ver. 10. To morrow.] Cras vat corvina. "Today, if ye will hear his voice." Now is the day of grace, &c.; procrastination is perilous. Hannibal, when he could have taken Rome, would not: when he would, could not. So, ειςαυριοντασπουδαια, said that fool. Let serious matters alone till tomorrow; but he was slain that night. “ Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi policeri. ” Plutarch.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 8:10
(10) That thou mayest know.—Comp. Exodus 7:5; Exodus 7:17. Moses is not content that Pharaoh should simply acknowledge Jehovah as he had done (Exodus 8:8), but wishes him to be convinced that no other god can compare with Him.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 8:10
10. that thou mayest know, &c.] The removal of the plague at a time fixed by the Pharaoh himself should be conclusive evidence to him that it was sent by God. The words are intended to emphasize the religious lesson of the plague; cf. the similar sentences, Exodus 8:22 b, Exodus 9:14 b, Exodus 9:16 b, Exodus 9:29 b, Exodus 10:2 b, Exodus 11:7 b (all J); comp. on Exodus 9:14-16, and p. 56.
