7:20-25
Aaron did as commanded, and the effects were just as the Lord had said. The fish died and this produced a stink, and also contaminated the water. The Egyptian magicians managed to do the same thing. This does actually raise some questions. If the actions of Aaron had turned all the water to blood, what was left for the Egyptians to do? Also, would it not have been better for them to reverse the effect? Anyway, the key thing is that Pharaoh’s heart remained hard.
The normal drinking water sources were now all polluted. So the people dug along the side of the Nile. The sand would have had a filtering action and this made the water drinkable. This would tend to imply that God used some natural phenomenon. The situation lasted for seven days.
