- "The water of Egypt," says Abbé Mascrier, "is so delicious,
- that one would not wish the heat to be less, or to be
- delivered from the sensation of thirst. 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."
-

- As the Nile was held sacred by the Egyptians, as well as the
- animals it contained, to which they annually sacrificed a
- girl, or as others say, both a boy and girl, God might have
- designed this plague as a punishment for such idolatry and
- cruelty; and to shew them the baseness of those elements
- which they reverenced, and the insufficiency of the gods in
- which they trusted. All the punishments brought upon them
- bore a strict analogy to their crimes.

- * frogs.
- The Hebrew {tzephardêim} is evidently the same with the
- Arabic {zafda,} Chaldaic {oordeânaya,} and Syriac {oordeai,}
- all of which denote frogs, as almost all interpreters, both
- ancient and modern, agree to render it; Bochart conceives,
- from {tzifa,} a bank, and {radâ,} mud, because of delighting
- in muddy and marshy places.

- * and the frogs.
- Whether the frog among the Egyptians was an object of
- reverence or abhorrence is uncertain. It might have been
- both at the same time, as many objects are known to have been
- among particular nations; for proof of which see the very
- learned Jacob Bryant, on the Plagues of Egypt, pp. 31-34.

- * lice.
- The word {kinnim} is rendered by the LXX. [skiphes, skipes,]
- or [sknéphes,] and by the Vulgate {sciniphes,} Gnats; and Mr.
- Harmer supposes he has found out the true meaning in the word
- {tarrentes,} a species of worm. Bochart, however, seems to
- have proved that lice, and not gnats, are meant; because, 1.
- they sprang from the dust, and not from the waters; 2. they
- were on both man and beast, which cannot be said of gnats;
- 3. their name is derived from {koon,} to make firm, fix,
- establish, which cannot agree with gnats, flies, etc., which
- are ever changing place, and almost constantly on the wing; 4.
- the term {kinnah} is used by the Talmudists to express the
- louse. This insect must have been a very dreadful and
- afflicting plague to the Egyptians, and especially to the
- priests, who were obliged to shave all their hair off, and to
- wear a single linen tunic, to prevent vermin harbouring about
- them.

- The word {arov} is rendered [kunomwea,] kunomuia,] the
- dog-fly, by the LXX. (who are followed by the learned
- Bochart,) which must have been particularly hateful to the
- Egyptians, because they held dogs in the highest veneration,
- under which form they worshipped Anubis.

- # 21 Ps 78:45 105:31

- How intolerable a plague of flies can prove, is evident from
- the fact that whole districts have been laid waste by them.
- The inhabitants have been forced to quit their cities, not
- being able to stand against the flies and gnats with which
- they were pestered. Hence different people had deities whose
- office it was to defend them against flies. Among these may
- be reckoned Baalzebub, the fly-god of Ekron; Hercules,
- {muscarum abactor,} Hercules the expeller of flies; and hence
- Jupiter had the titles of [apomuios, muiagros, muiochoros,]
- because he was supposed to expel flies, and especially clear
- his temples of these insects. See Bryant.
