Salmos 78:44

44 convertendo em sangue os seus rios, para que não pudessem beber das suas correntes.

Salmos 78:44 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:44

And had turned their rivers into blood
The river Nile and its seven streams; this was the first of the plagues of Egypt, ( Exodus 7:20 Exodus 7:21 ) , and was a just retaliation for drowning the infants of the Israelites in their river, ( Exodus 1:22 ) , a like plague will be inflicted on spiritual Egypt, and with equal justice; see ( Revelation 11:8 ) ( 16:3-7 ) ,

and their floods, that they could not drink;
the rivulets that flowed from the Nile, and every spring or confluence of water; or rather by these rivers and floods are meant the canals and ditches, which, as Jarchi ^F5 observes, were made by the hands of men, from the banks of the river Nile, to water their fields with.

Salmos 78:44 In-Context

42 Não se lembraram do seu poder, nem do dia em que os remiu do adversário,

43 nem de como operou os seus sinais no Egito, e as suas maravilhas no campo de Zoã,

44 convertendo em sangue os seus rios, para que não pudessem beber das suas correntes.

45 Também lhes mandou enxames de moscas que os consumiram, e rãs que os destruíram.

46 Entregou �s lagartas as novidades deles, e o fruto do seu trabalho aos gafanhotos.
