וַיִּקְרָ֨א פַרְעֹ֜ה לְמֹשֶׁ֣ה וּֽלְאַהֲרֹ֗ן וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַעְתִּ֣ירוּ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וְיָסֵר֙ הַֽצְפַרְדְּעִ֔ים מִמֶּ֖נִּי וּמֵֽעַמִּ֑י וַאֲשַׁלְּחָה֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וְיִזְבְּח֖וּ לַיהוָֽה׃
Kemudian Firaun memanggil Musa dan Harun, lalu berkata, “Berdoalah kepada Yang Mahakekal, supaya Ia menjauhkan katak-katak itu dariku dan dari rakyatku; maka aku akan membiarkan bangsa itu pergi, supaya mereka mempersembahkan kurban kepada Yang Mahakekal.”
Shemot Rabbah
“Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said: Entreat the Lord, and He will remove the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, and they will sacrifice to the Lord. Moses said to Pharaoh: Have this glory over me; for what time shall I entreat for you, for your servants, and for your people, so that the frogs will be destroyed from you and you houses, and will remain only in the Nile?” (Exodus 8:4–5).
“Pharaoh called” – when the punishment began in his body, he felt it immediately and began screaming: “Entreat the Lord, and He will remove the frogs…” “Moses said… and will remain only in the Nile” – all of them will die, and the only ones remaining will be those remaining in the Nile. “He said: For tomorrow” (Exodus 8:6) – from here you learn that this was the day that the seven days would conclude. Therefore, Moses said to him: “For what time shall I entreat for you?” – for tomorrow I will entreat for you, but not for today; [and only then,] “the frogs will depart from you” (Exodus 8:7).
