Hereupon it is inferred, that, the plague was stayed. The word translated (stayed) properly signifieth to shut or hold 1in a thing so as it cannot come forth. It is oft put for aclosing up a woman's womb, so as no child can come from thence. And for bshutting up, or closing the heavens, so as they cannot send down rain: and cfor fast holding in of fire, so as it cannot break forth. All these applications of the word do imply that the Lord by a strong hand held this plague, which was as a devouring beast, desirous to devour more had more, that it should do no more hurt.
