He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants
He sent
This phrase emphasizes the sovereignty and active involvement of God in the affairs of the world. The Hebrew root for "sent" is שָׁלַח (shalach), which conveys the idea of dispatching or commissioning with authority. In the biblical context, it underscores God's direct intervention in history, particularly in the deliverance of His people. This action is not random but purposeful, reflecting God's covenantal faithfulness to Israel.

signs and wonders
These terms are often paired in the Old Testament to describe miraculous events that demonstrate God's power and authority. The Hebrew words are אוֹת (oth) for "signs" and מוֹפֵת (mopheth) for "wonders." "Signs" often serve as divine indicators or messages, while "wonders" are extraordinary acts that inspire awe and reveal God's supremacy over creation. In the context of the Exodus, these signs and wonders were the plagues that God used to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites, showcasing His power over the gods of Egypt.

into your midst, O Egypt
This phrase highlights the direct impact of God's actions on the Egyptian people and their land. The term "midst" (Hebrew: קֶרֶב, qereb) suggests an intimate and pervasive presence, indicating that God's signs and wonders were not distant or abstract but were experienced personally and nationally by the Egyptians. Egypt, as a historical and archaeological entity, was a powerful and advanced civilization, yet it was brought to its knees by the divine acts of God, demonstrating His ultimate authority over even the mightiest of nations.

against Pharaoh
Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, is often depicted in the Bible as a symbol of human pride and resistance against God. The Hebrew name פַּרְעֹה (Par'oh) is derived from the Egyptian term for "great house," reflecting his status and power. However, despite his earthly authority, Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he became an instrument through which God's power and justice were displayed. The plagues were a direct challenge to Pharaoh's perceived divinity and authority, revealing the futility of opposing God's will.

and all his servants
This phrase extends the scope of God's actions beyond Pharaoh to include his officials and the broader Egyptian society. The Hebrew word for "servants" is עֲבָדָיו (avadav), which can refer to both literal servants and officials or subjects under Pharaoh's rule. This inclusion signifies that the consequences of resisting God were not limited to Pharaoh alone but affected all who aligned themselves with his defiance. It serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility and the far-reaching impact of leadership decisions on a nation.

Verse 9. - Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt; or, "signs and wonders" (comp. Exodus 4:9, 21; Nehemiah 9:10; Psalm 78:43). Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants; i.e. "upon all his subjects." The plagues fell upon the whole people of Egypt (Exodus 7:21; Exodus 8:4, 11, 17, 24; Exodus 9:6, 11, 25; Exodus 10:6, 15; Exodus 12:30).
