Context

The First Plague: Blood

²²But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.²³Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.²⁴So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

Summary

In Exodus 7:23, the Nile River in Egypt is turned to blood by the hand of Moses, as a sign of God's power and judgment against Pharaoh's refusal to let the Israelites go. This miraculous event serves as a demonstration of God's authority over creation and His ability to bring about both blessings and curses. The transformation of the Nile into blood symbolizes the devastation and consequences of disobedience, highlighting the importance of heeding God's commands and warnings. It also foreshadows the subsequent plagues that will befall Egypt until Pharaoh relents and allows the Israelites to leave. Ultimately, this verse showcases God's sovereignty and justice in fulfilling His purposes.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Pharaoh turned, and went into his house,.... Turned away from Moses and Aaron, and turned back from the river to which he came, and went to his palace in the city; it being perhaps now about dinner time, when all before related had passed: neither did he set his heart to this also: had no regard to this miracle of turning the waters into blood, as well as he had none to the rod being turned into a serpent, and devouring the rods of the magicians; he neither considered the one nor the other, or seriously and closely thought of this, any more than of the other.
