Psalms 78:47-48

78:47

destroyed <02026> [destroyed. or, killed. with hail.]

[sycamore.]

From the value of the sycamore in furnishing wood for various uses, from the grateful shade which its wide spreading branches afforded, and on account of the fruit, which Mr. Maillet says the Egyptians hold in the highest estimation, we may conceive somewhat of the loss they sustained when "their vines were destroyed with hail; and their sycamore trees with frost." See Note on 1 Ch 27:28.

driving rain <02602> [frost. or, great hailstones.]

78:48

rained ... down <05462> [gave up. Heb. shut up. hot thunderbolts. or, lightnings.]

Exodus 9:18-28

9:18

tomorrow <04279> [to-morrow.]

rain <04305> [I will cause.]

This must have been a circumstance of all others the most incredible to an Egyptian; for in Egypt there fell no rain, the want of which was supplied by dews, and the overflowing of the Nile. The Egyptians must, therefore, have perceived themselves particularly aimed at in these fearful events, especially as they were very superstitious. There seems likewise a propriety in their being punished by fire and water, as they were guilty of the grossest idolatry towards these elements. Scarcely any thing could have distressed the Egyptians more than the destruction of the flax, as the whole nation wore linen garments. The ruin of their barley was equally fatal, both to their trade and to their private advantage. See Bryant, pp. 108-117.
