How preachers through history handled this text

12 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Calvin 4 Matthew Henry 4 Spurgeon 3 John Wesley 1

“The plague of darkness brought upon Egypt was a dreadful plague. It was darkness which might be felt, so thick were the fogs. It astonished and terrified. It continued three days; six nights in one; so long the most lightsome palaces were dungeons. Now Pharaoh had time to consider, if he would have improved it. Spiritual darkness is spiritual bondage; while Satan blinds men's eyes that they see not, he binds their hands and feet, that they work not for God, nor move toward heaven. They sit in darkness. It was righteous with God thus to punish. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 10:21–35 (Public Domain)
