Psalms 78:43 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:43

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt
The plagues which he brought upon the Egyptians, for refusing to let Israel go:

and his wonders in the field of Zoan,
or in the country of Zoan, that is, Tanis, as the Targum renders it; so the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions; see ( Psalms 78:12 ) , an enumeration of these signs and wonders follows; but not of all, nor in the order in which they were: only seven are mentioned, with which compare the seven vials or last plagues, ( Revelation 6:1 ) .

Psalms 78:43 In-Context

41 They tested God again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42 They did not remember his power or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,

43 when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan.

44 He turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams.

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
