Commentary
5 notes on this verseAnd the Lord did according to the word of Moses,.... He heard his prayers, and fulfilled what he had promised Pharaoh: and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields; the word for "villages" signifies "courts" (b), and may be so rendered here; and the sense is, that they not only died out of their dwelling houses, but out of their courtyards, and even out of their gardens, orchards, and fields, so that there were none near them to give any manner of trouble and offence.
This site's exposition
Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs
on Exodus 8:12-14
Moses prays for the man who is holding his people, and Henry takes it as praying for a persecutor. The relief leaves the dead frogs in heaps in the open, so Egypt has to handle what it asked to be rid of.
This site's exposition
the LORD did as Moses requested
The LORD answers the prayer of Moses exactly, and the frogs die in the houses, the courtyards and the fields. They leave by dying where they lie. John Gill notes that the Hebrew word rendered courtyards has also been translated villages, and takes it of the yards around the dwellings.

But many, while suffering the consequences of their sins, make promises of amendment and obedience which they afterwards forget; and so Pharaoh, when he saw there was a respite, was again hardened [Ex 8:15].
