Exo 11:7 | “no dog will even sharpen its tongue.” This is hyperbole, but well put because dogs can be dangerous. “Sharpen its tongue” is an obscure idiom. It likely means “bark against,” or “growl against,” or something very similar. In other words, as Israel left Egypt, Israel would not be threatened. But this only lasted for a short time. Soon the Egyptian army was after them. (top) |
Exo 11:8 | “bow down.” The common biblical way of bowing down before people or God was to fall to one’s knees and bow the upper body to the earth. It is the same Hebrew word as “worship.” [For more on bowing down, see commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:20.] (top) |
