(2) The word occurs twice previously—Ex 6:6 and 7:4—and in both occurrences it precedes all the plagues. Perhaps the statement is made here because the tenth plague finalizes the judgments against the Egyptian deities by bringing the Israelites out of Egypt and thus demonstrates that Israel's deity is Yhwh (cf. 7:5). | |
