Bible Question:
Looking at the Plagues in Egypt, particularly when the water is turned to blood: If all of the water, including that in cisterns and jars, was already turned to blood, how did the Magician's flaunt their abilities? |
Bible Answer: Hi Just Read Mark, The NASB for Exodus 7:22 reads, "But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts;" The NKJ reads, "Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments;" What you are asking is "How can the magicians change the water into blood when it has already been accomplished?" However, I did not read that the water in cisterns and jars were already turned to blood. Probably that is what they used in their activity of enchantment. Exodus 7:24 tells us that water could be found outside the Nile. "So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the Nile."
