The Turks find it so exquisite, that they excite themselves to drink of it by eating salt." "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.24; Nu 11:20; 21:5 stretch.8:5,6,16; 9:22,23,33; 10:12,21; 14:21,26their pools.

All the punishments brought upon them bore a strict analogy to their crimes. 17,18; Ps 78:44; 105:29; Joh 2:9-11; Re 8:8 18; Re 8:9The first miracle of Christ turned water into wine, the first plague upon Egypt turned all their water into blood.Psalms 78:44
105:29; Ex 7:17-21; Re 16:3-6The miracles mentioned in this and the four subsequent verses, evidently shew the power of God over the elements of nature, which at that time were the objects of Egyptian worship.Psalms 105:29
