Apropos to the part the frog was conceived to play or symbolize in the Jewish conception of the mode and ministry of Divine judgment, we quote the following: — " We are told that Samuel once saw a frog carrying a scorpion on its back across a river, upon the opposite bank of which a man stood waiting ready to be stung. The sting proving fatal, so that the man died; upon which Samuel exclaimed, <Lord, they wait for Thy judgments this day: for all are Thy servants.* (Ps. cxix. 91.)w (Nedarim, fol. 41, col. 1.)
