Commentary
Exodus 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Exodus in the Bible. In this chapter, God continues to demonstrate His power and authority over Pharaoh and the Egyptians by sending a plague of frogs upon the land. The plague is so severe that Pharaoh is forced to call upon Moses and Aaron to ask them to intercede with God on his behalf. Moses and Aaron then pray to God, and He responds by removing the plague.
