"He turnedª°¹ their watersª into blood,ª and slewª°¹ their fish.ª" {Psa 105:29} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª In this¹ thou shalt knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD:ª behold,¹ I¹ will smiteª° with the rodª that¹ [is] in mine handª upon¹ the watersª which¹ [are] in the river,ª and they shall be turnedª° to blood.ª ... And the fishª that¹ [was] in the riverª died;ª° and the riverª stank,ª° and the Egyptiansª couldª° not¹ drinkª° of the waterª of¹ the river;ª and there was¹ bloodª throughout all¹ the landª of Egypt.ª" {Exd 7:17-21} + "Andª the¹ secondª angelª poured outª° his²¹ vialª uponª the¹ sea;ª andª it becameª° asª the bloodª of a deadª [man]: andª everyª livingª° soulª diedª° inª the¹ sea.ª ... Forª they have shedª° the bloodª of saintsª andª prophets,ª andª thou hast givenª° themª bloodª to drink;ª° forª they areª° worthy.ª" {Rev 16:3-6}; The 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.
