  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Psalms 105:29, Exodus 7:17-21, Revelation 16:3-6, The miracles mentioned in this and the four subsequent verses, evidently shew the power of God over the elements of nature, which at that time were the objects of Egyptian worship.

Revelation 11:8,

and their floods, that they could not drink; the rivulets that flowed from the Nile, and every spring or confluence of water; or rather by these rivers and floods are meant the canals and ditches, which, as Jarchi e observes, were made by the hands of men, from the banks of the river Nile, to water their fields with.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And had turned their rivers into blood - Exodus 7:20. There was properly but one river in Egypt - the Nile. But there were several branches of that river at the mouth; and there were numerous artificial streams or canals cut from the river, to anyone of which the word river might be also given. Compare the notes at Isaiah 11:15.

And their floods ... - Their streams; the canals and branches of the Nile, where they usually obtained a supply of water.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
