Exodus 7:25
And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
BSB
ASV
And seven days were fulfilled, after that Jehovah had smitten the river.
KJV
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
And seven days were fulfilled,.... Or there were full seven days, a whole week: after that the Lord had smitten the river, and turned it into blood; here the miracle is ascribed to him; Moses and Aaron, and the rod they used, were only instruments, nothing short of almighty power could do such a miracle; it seems this lasted seven days at least. It began, as Bishop Usher (o) computes it, on the eighteen day of the sixth month, or Adar, part of February and part of March, and ended the twenty fifth of the same.
Seven days - This marks the duration of the plague. The natural discoloration of the Nile water lasts generally much longer, about 20 days.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
