     * murrain.
       We may observe a particular scope and meaning in this
       calamity, if we consider it in regard to the Egyptians, which
       would not have existed in respect to any other people.  They
       held in idolatrous reverence almost every animal, but some
       they held in particular veneration; as the ox, cow, and ram.
       Among these, {Apis} and {Mnevis} are well known; the former
       being a sacred bull, worshipped at Memphis, as the latter was
       at Heliopolis.  A cow or heifer had the like honours at
       Momemphis; and the same practice seems to have been adopted
       in most of the Egyptian {nomes.}  By the infliction of this
       judgment, the Egyptian deities sank before the God of the
       Hebrews.  See Bryant, pp. 87-93.
