refuse: Exo 7:14, Exo 9:2 frogs: The Hebrew tzephardêim is evidently the same with the Arabic zafda, Chaldaic oordeânaya, and Syriac oordeai, all of which denote frogs, as almost all interpreters, both ancient and modern, agree to render it; Bochart conceives, from tzifa, a bank, and rada, mud, because of delighting in muddy and marshy places. Psa 78:45, Psa 105:30; Rev 16:13, Rev 16:14 Exodus 8:3
