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 loathe7:24; Numbers 11:20, 21:5ReciprocalExodus 7:20 - all the waters; Isaiah 50:2 - their fish Verse 19stretchExodus 8:5, 8:6, 8:16, 9:22, 9:23, 9:33, 10:12, 10:21, 14:21, 14:26 their poolsHeb. gathering of their waters, Genesis 1:10ReciprocalExodus 1:16 - and see them; 1:22 - Every son; 4:9 - the water; 4:17 - General; 14:16 - lift; 17:5 - thy rod; 2 Kings 2:19 - the water; 4:29 - lay my staff; Psalm 110:2 - the rod; Isaiah 11:15 - shall smite; 19:10 - make; John 2:11 - beginning Verse 20he liftedExodus 17:5, 17:6, 17:9-12; Numbers 20:8-12 all the watersAs 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.
