20 And ye LORDE saide vnto Moses: Get ye vp tomorow by tymes, & stonde before Pharao: beholde, he wil go vnto the water, & speake thou vnto him: Thus saieth ye LORDE: let my people go, yt they maye serue me: 21 yf not, beholde, I wil cause cruell wormes (or flyes) to come vpon the, thy seruauntes, yi people, & thy house, so yt all the Egipcians houses, & the felde, and what theron is shall be full of cruell wormes: 22 & the same daye wil I separate the londe of Gosen, wherin my people are, so yt no cruell worme shalbe there, that thou mayest knowe, that I am ye LORDE in the myddest of the earth. 23 And I wil set a delyueraunce betwene my people and thyne. Tomorow shal this token come to passe. 24 And the LORDE dyd so. And there came perlous cruell wormes in to Pharaos house, in to his seruauntes houses, & vpon all the londe of Egipte: and the londe was marred with noysome wormes. 25 The called Pharao for Moses & Aaron, & sayde: Go yor waye, & do sacrifice vnto yor God in ye londe. 26 Moses sayde: It is not mete, yt we shulde so do, so shulde we offer ye abhominacion of ye Egipcians vnto the LORDE or God.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a division: Heb. a redemption

to morrow: or, by to-morrow

Reciprocal: Exodus 9:5 - a set time Exodus 10:4 - morrow 2 Kings 7:1 - To morrow

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will put a division between my people and thy people,.... Or, a "redemption" p; for by distinguishing them in his providence from the Egyptians, he might be said to redeem or deliver them; thus God makes a difference between his chosen people and the rest of the world, through his Son's redemption of them by his blood, out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation:

tomorrow shall this sign be: which, according to Bishop Usher, must be the twenty nineth day of Adar or February.

p פדות "redemptionem", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 8:23. And I will put a division — פדת peduth, a redemption, between my people and thy people; God hereby showing that he had redeemed them from those plagues to which he had abandoned the others.
