"A person," adds Mr. Harmer, "who never before heard of the deliciousness of the Nile water, and of the large quantities which on that account are drunk of it, will, I am sure, find an energy in those words of Moses to Pharaoh, the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river, which he never did before."shall loathe 7:24; Numbers 11:20, 21:5 Reciprocal Exodus 7:20 - all the waters; Isaiah 50:2 - their fish Verse 19 stretch Exodus 8:5, 8:6, 8:16, 9:22, 9:23, 9:33, 10:12, 10:21, 14:21, 14:26 their poolsHeb. gathering of their waters, Genesis 1:10 Reciprocal Exodus 1:16 - and see them; 1:22 - Every son; 4:9 - the water; 4:17 - General; 14:16 - lift; 17:5 - thy rod; 2 Kings 2:19 - the water; 4:29 - lay my staff; Psalm 110:2 - the rod; Isaiah 11:15 - shall smite; 19:10 - make; John 2:11 - beginning Verse 20 he lifted Exodus 17:5, 17:6, 17:9-12; Numbers 20:8-12 all the watersAs the Nile was held sacred by the Egyptians, as well as the animals it contained, to which they annually sacrificed a girl, or as others say, both a boy and girl, God might have designed this plague as a punishment for such idolatry and cruelty; and to shew them the baseness of those elements which they reverenced, and the insufficiency of the gods in which they trusted. All the punishments brought upon them bore a strict analogy to their crimes.
