“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
29. And Moses said, Behold I go out from thee. Moses does not reply to this demand, because he knew that the design of God was otherwise; and God had justly left him in ignorance as to what He did not yet wish him to know.
Those who would do great things for God must rise early and not fear any man's face. Moses stood before proud Pharaoh to demand his captives' release, and God ordered the flies as His obedient army where Pharaoh's will meant nothing.
