Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Exodus 7

Exo 7:1-9

Exo 7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt

A prophetic sign also. The nations shall know Jehovah when He restores and blesses Israel in the kingdom. (Isaiah 2:1-3; 11:10-1214:1; 60:4, 5; Ezekiel 37:28).


Exo 7:10-13—The contest with Pharaoh: the second demand; the first miracle.

Exo 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

became a serpent

Miracles (O.T.). vs. 10-12, 20-25; Exo 8:5-14. (Gen 5:24; Jon 2:1-10.)

Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

like manner with their enchantments

Cf. 2 Timothy 3:8; Exodus 8:18. Neither Satan nor his tools can create life. Revelation 13:15 will be a "lying wonder" (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

Exo 7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

Aaron's rod

Cf. Exodus 4:2. As Moses' rod was the rod of power, the rod of the King (Deuteronomy 33:4, 5), so Aaron's was the rod of life, the rod of the Priest. As here the serpents, symbols of Satan, who had the power of death (Revelation 12:9; Hebrews 2:14), are swallowed up, so in resurrection death will be "swallowed up in victory" (1 Corinthians 15:54). See Numbers 17:8.


Exo 7:14-19—The contest with Pharaoh: the third demand.


Exo 7:20-25—The contest with Pharaoh: the second miracle; the first judgment.

Exo 7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.

magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments

Exo 7:11, 24.

neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said

Exo 3:19.
