Salmos 78:44

44 Pues él convirtió los ríos en sangre,
para que nadie pudiera beber de los arroyos.

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 No se acordaron de su poder
ni de cómo los rescató de sus enemigos.

43 No recordaron las señales milagrosas que hizo en Egipto
ni sus maravillas en la llanura de Zoán.

44 Pues él convirtió los ríos en sangre,
para que nadie pudiera beber de los arroyos.

45 Envió grandes enjambres de moscas para que los consumieran
y miles de ranas para que los arruinaran.

46 Les dio sus cultivos a las orugas;
las langostas consumieron sus cosechas.
