Pharaoh asked for delay until tomorrow not from any calm mind, but as a trick: once relieved of the frogs, he would break his word. Moses, assured by the Spirit's secret direction, promised relief anyway; and God removed the plague the same day, for by nightfall Pharaoh's fear had cooled and his promise evaporated.
