Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - Let there more work be laid upon the men. Rather, as in the margin, "Let the work be heavy upon the men." Let the tasks set them be such as to occupy all their time, and not leave them any spare moments in which they may be tempted to listen to mischievous talkers, like Moses and Aaron) who flatter them with vain (literally, lying, words. Pharaoh, no doubt, imagined that the hopes raised by the two brothers were vain and illusive. He was utterly blind as to the course which events were about to take. CHAPTER 5:10-14

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Let them not regard vain words.--Or, false words. The reference is to the promises of deliverance wherewith Moses and Aaron had raised the people's hopes (Exodus 4:30). Pharaoh supposed these to be "vain words," as Sennacherib did those spoken by Hezekiah (2Kings 18:20).
