     * to-morrow.
     # 1Ki 19:2; 20:6; 2Ki 7:1,18|
     * 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.
