And the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’”
Moses did not move a finger; he transferred all action to Aaron, that Pharaoh might be treated with utter contempt. God overwhelmed the whole land as it were by a breath, yet the magicians' wickedness did not rest, so the servants of God were exercised by one contest after another.
AI summary
God chose contemptible frogs to strike down a haughty king, magnifying His power over all creation and humbling Pharaoh's pride. What a mortification for a monarch to be forced to his knees by creatures a child can master, yet whose numbers made all his chariots and horsemen helpless.

Commenting on Exodus 8:1-15
Aaron stretched out his hand toward all the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up in such multitudes they covered the entire land at once. The swarms were so thick that no one could tread for them; they lay in heaps in houses and food alike, choking the air with the stench of the dead.
