Exodus 7:7

Exodus 7:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Moderns are surprised that at such an age a man could undertake and carry through a difficult and dangerous enterprise; but in Egypt one hundred and ten years was not considered a very exceptionally long life, and men frequently retained their full vigour till seventy or eighty.
