Study note
Setting — Moses answers Pharaoh’s request to set the deadline for the frog plague’s removal. The exchange occurs mid-confrontation, immediately following Moses’ offer to pray for the frogs’ departure.
The words — Moses fixes the timeline with לְמָחָר (le.ma.Char, “tomorrow”), then states the purpose with לְמַעַן תֵּדַע (le.Ma.'an te.Da', “so that you may know”).
The thread — The phrase “there is no one like the LORD” appears in 2 Samuel 7:22, 1 Chronicles 17:20, and Psalm 86:8. Each citation uses the same declaration to mark Yahweh’s unmatched status among claimed gods.
Why it lands — The text requires Pharaoh to witness a delayed miracle to recognize Yahweh’s exclusive power. It asks the reader to accept that divine timing exists to force acknowledgment, not to accommodate preference.
