Midrash sobre Êxodo 10:19
וַיַּהֲפֹ֨ךְ יְהוָ֤ה רֽוּחַ־יָם֙ חָזָ֣ק מְאֹ֔ד וַיִּשָּׂא֙ אֶת־הָ֣אַרְבֶּ֔ה וַיִּתְקָעֵ֖הוּ יָ֣מָּה סּ֑וּף לֹ֤א נִשְׁאַר֙ אַרְבֶּ֣ה אֶחָ֔ד בְּכֹ֖ל גְּב֥וּל מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Então o SENHOR trouxe um vento ocidental fortíssimo, o qual levantou os gafanhotos e os lançou no Mar Vermelho; não ficou um só gafanhoto em todos os termos do Egito.
Shemot Rabbah
"And YHVH shifted a sea-wind...[and not one locust remained]" (Exodus 10:19) What is "not one locust remained"? Rabbi Yochanan said: since the Egyptians rejoiced when the locusts came. They said, "Let us gather and fill barrels up of them." The Holy One Blessed Be He said, "Evildoers! With the plague that I brought upon you, you rejoiced in it!" Immediately, "And YHVH shifted a very strong sea-wind". This is a western wind. "And He lifted the locusts..." (Exodus 10:19) What is "not one locust remained"? Even those that had been pickled in their pots and barrels flew away and went to them. "And YHVH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh" (Exodus 10:20)
