Exodus 11:4 - Exposition

About midnight .—Compare Exodus 12:29 . It would add to the horror of the infliction that it should come in the depth of the night. Probably the night intended was not the next night, but one left purposely indefinite, that terror and suspense might work upon the mind of Pharaoh. Shall I go out. The word " I " is repressed in the original, and is emphatic. This crowning plague Jehovah inflicts by no instrumentality, but takes wholly upon himself. (See Exodus 12:12 , Exodus 12:13 , Exodus 12:23 , Exodus 12:27 , Exodus 12:29 .)
