6. shall be a great cry throughoutall the landIn the case of a death, people in the East set uploud wailings, and imagination may conceive what “a great cry”would be raised when death would invade every family in the kingdom.

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,…. Of parents for the loss of their firstborn sons, their heirs, the support and glory of their families; children for the loss of their elder brethren; and servants for the loss of the prime and principal in their masters’ houses; and all in a dreadful fright, expecting instantly death themselves:
such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more; for though the later destruction of Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea might be a greater loss, yet not occasion greater mourning; since that was only a loss of military persons, and did not affect at least so many families as this; and though their king was lost also, it might not give them so much concern, since through his ill conduct, his hardness and obstinacy, he had been the means of so many plagues inflicted on them.

(6) There shall be a great cry.The shrill cries uttered by mourners in the East are well known to travellers. Mr. Stuart Poole heard those of the Egyptian women at Cairo, in the great cholera of 1848, at a distance of two miles (Smiths Dictionary of the Bible, vol. ii., p. 888). Herodotus, describing the lamentations of the Persian soldiers at the funeral of Masistius, says that all Botia resounded with their clamour (Exo. 9:24). The Egyptian monuments represent mourners as tearing their hair, putting dust upon their heads, and beating their breasts (Wilkinson, in Rawlinsons Herodotus, vol. ii., p. 138).
