וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ קְח֤וּ לָכֶם֙ מְלֹ֣א חָפְנֵיכֶ֔ם פִּ֖יחַ כִּבְשָׁ֑ן וּזְרָק֥וֹ מֹשֶׁ֛ה הַשָּׁמַ֖יְמָה לְעֵינֵ֥י פַרְעֹֽה׃
At sinabi ng Walang-Hanggan kina Moises at Aaron: “Kumuha kayo ng tigdalawang dakot na abo mula sa hurno, punô ng inyong mga kamay, at ihagis ito ni Moises paitaas sa langit sa harap ng mga mata ni Faraon.
Rashi
מלא חפניכם HANDFULS (more lit., as much as will fill your fists), old French joincheiz; Engl, double-handfuls.
Chizkuni
מלא חפניכם, “your handfuls,” this would not be enough soot to bring the plague on the entire land of Egypt; this is why the Torah does not attribute this plague as resulting from the fire that the soot was taken from. G-d did not want to change natural law at this point, and that is why He commanded Moses and Aaron to perform a symbolic act.
Rashbam
פיח, ash, dust particles remaining at the bottom of the furnace light enough to be carried by the wind.
