Contextual Overview

²⁵ Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the Lord 's servants. ²⁶ But the Lord sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen. ²⁷ They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸ The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go. ²⁹ He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish. ³⁰ Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king's bedrooms. ³¹ When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt. ³² He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land. ³³ He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees. ³⁴ He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He turned their waters into blood,.... With which Egypt abounded; their streams, rivers, ponds, and pools, so that they had no water to drink; a just judgment upon them for shedding the innocent blood of infants, by drowning them in their rivers; this was the first of the ten plagues, Exodus 7:19, with this compare the second and third vials poured out on spiritual Egypt, whereby blood will be given to antichrist, and to the antichristian states, for they are worthy, having shed so much of the blood of the saints, Revelation 16:3.

And slew their fish; which showed that the miracle was real, that the waters were really turned into blood, since the fish could not live in them, as they might if it had been only in appearance; the rivers of Egypt abounded with fish, this was a principal part of their food, and therefore must greatly distress them; see Numbers 11:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See an account of these plagues in Exo. 6–11. Compare Psalms 78:43-51. This is mostly a mere enumeration of the plagues in the order in which they occurred, but without, of course, the details of the circumstances attending them. There are no circumstances mentioned here which require particular explanation.
