Amos 4:10

“I have sent among you the pestilence, after the manner of Egypt, etc.] Like that which was sent among the firstborn of Egypt, and cut them off in one night; or when in the way of Egypt, as the Targum; either as in the wilderness, when they came out of Egypt, so Jarchi interprets it; (see <041646> Numbers 16:46-49); or the Lord sent the pestilence as they went in the way to Egypt for help and assistence, or for shelter, for food in time of famine; for they went thither, as Kimchi says, because of the famine, to fetch food, from thence; and this was displeasing to the Lord, and he sent the plague among them, which cut them off in the way: your young men have I slain with the sword; of the…”

“pestilence after the manner of Egypt--such as I formerly sent on the Egyptians (Exo 9:3, Exo 9:8, &c.; Exo 12:29; Deu 28:27, Deu 28:60).

“I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt - that is, after the way in which God had dealt with Egypt . God had twice promised, when the memory of the plagues which He sent on Egypt was still fresh “if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God - I will put none of the diseases upon thee which I have brought upon the Egyptians” Exodus 15:26; Deuteronomy 7:15. Contrariwise, God had forewarned them in that same prophecy of Moses, that, if they disobeyed Him, “He will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou was afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee” (Deuteronomy 28:60, add Deuteronomy 28:27). Egypt was, at times, subject to great…”

“Your horses - The riders being killed. The stink - So great slaughter hath been made in your camp that there were not sufficient to bury the slain. Amos 4:11”

“4:10 God had used plagues to convince Egypt to let Israel go (Exod 7:14–12:30; 9:2-3; Ps 91:6; Hab 3:5); he promised to bring the plagues of Egypt on Israel if they continued to turn away from him to worship pagan gods (Deut 28:27, 60).”

“pestilence: Exo 9:3-6, Exo 12:29, Exo 12:30, Exo 15:26; Lev 26:16, Lev 26:25; Deu 7:15, Deu 28:22, Deu 28:27, Deu 28:60; Psa 78:49, Psa 78:50 after the manner: or, in the way your young: Lev 26:25; Kg2 8:12, Kg2 10:32; Jer 6:11, Jer 11:22, Jer 18:21, Jer 48:15 and have taken away your horses: Heb. with the captivity of your horses, Kg2 13:3, Kg2 13:7 the stink: Amo 8:3; Deu 28:26; Jer 8:1, Jer 8:2, Jer 9:22, Jer 15:3, Jer 16:4; Joe 2:20 yet: Amo 4:6; Exo 8:19, Exo 9:12, Exo 9:17, Exo 9:34, Exo 9:35, Exo 10:3, Exo 10:27, Exo 14:4 Amos 4:11”
