Exodus 9:8
Take handfuls <03947 02651> [Take to.]
This was a significant command; not only referring to the fiery furnace, which was a type of the slavery of the Israelites, but to a cruel rite common among the Egyptians. They had several cities styled Typhonian, in which at particular seasons they sacrificed men, who were burnt alive; and the ashes of the victim were scattered upwards in the air, with the view, probably, that where any atom of dust was carried, a blessing was entailed. The like, therefore, was done by Moses, though with a different intention, and more certain effect. See Bryant, pp. 93-106.
Exodus 15:7
abundance <07230> [the greatness.]
rise up <06965> [them that.]
consumed <0398> [consumed.]
