John Gill Commentary Exodus 8:23

"And I will put a division between my people and thy people: by to-morrow shall this sign be." — Exodus 8:23 (ASV)

And I will put a division between my people and your people ,
&c.] Or, a "redemption" ^F16 ; for by distinguishing them in his providence from the Egyptians, he might be said to redeem or deliver them; thus God makes a difference between his chosen people and the rest of the world, through his Son's redemption of them by his blood, out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation:

tomorrow shall this sign be :
which, according to Bishop Usher, must be the twenty ninth day of Adar or February.
