Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And had turned their rivers into blood - Exo 7:20. There was properly but one river in Egypt - the Nile. But there were several branches of that river at the mouth; and there were numerous artificial streams or canals cut from the river, to anyone of which the word river might be also given. Compare the notes at Isa 11:15.
And their floods ... - Their streams; the canals and branches of the Nile, where they usually obtained a supply of water. |

| Turned their rivers into blood - See on Exo 7:20 (note). |
