Read Exodus 7:18 Using Other Translations
What does Exodus 7:18 mean?
And the fish that is in the river shall die
Their element being changed, and they not able to live in any
other but water:
and the river shall stink;
with the blood, into which it should be congealed, and with the
putrefied bodies of fishes floating in it:
and the Egyptians shall loath to drink of the water of the
river;
the very colour of it, looking like blood, would set them against
it, and create a nausea in them; or "shall be weary" F8, tired
of drinking it in a little time, through the loathsomeness of it;
or be weary in digging about it, ( Exodus 7:24 ) to get
some clear water to drink of; or in seeking to find out ways and
methods to cure the waters, that so they might be fit to drink
of, as Jarchi interprets it.
F8 (waln) "delassabuntur", Tigurine version, Vatablus. "Defatigabuntur", Cartwright.
