וַיַּ֥עַשׂ יְהוָ֖ה כִּדְבַ֣ר מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיָּמֻ֙תוּ֙ הַֽצְפַרְדְּעִ֔ים מִן־הַבָּתִּ֥ים מִן־הַחֲצֵרֹ֖ת וּמִן־הַשָּׂדֹֽת׃
И сделал Господь по слову Моисея; и лягушки погибли из домов, из дворов и с полей.
On the Birth of Abel and the Sacrifices Offered by him and by his Brother Cain
[69] But Pharaoh the “Disperser of the excellent” cannot receive the vision of timeless values, for the eyes of the soul, whereby alone incorporeal natures are apprehended, are blinded in him, nor will he bring himself to get help through what is timeless. When he is plagued by the frogs, those soulless opinions and conjectures, which produce noise and sound destitute and devoid of all reality, Moses said to him, “Appoint with me a time, when I shall pray for thee and thy servants, to take away the frogs” (Exod. 8:9). Though in that dire strait he should have said “Pray for me at once,” he puts it off with the word “to-morrow.” He must needs maintain to the end the unchanging level of his godlessness.
