Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 8:9

9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me : When shall I intreat for thee, , and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

As I have gloried over thee in laying first my commands, and then my plagues upon thee, so now lay thy commands upon me for the time of my praying, and if I do not what thou requirest, I am content thou shouldest insult over me, and punish me. Or Glory, or boast thy self of, or concerning me, as one that by Gods power can do that for thee which all thy Magitians cannot, of whom therefore thou now seest thou canst not glory nor boast as thou hast hitherto done.

Appoint me what time thou pleasest. Hereby he knew that the hand and glory of God would be more conspicuous in it. And this was no presumption in Moses, because he had a large Commission, chap. 7. 1. and also had particular direction from God in all that he said or did in these matters.
