Notes
Egypt experienced many civil wars that damaged the country. The nation's fragile unity was falling apart.
Egypt relied heavily on the Nile for food, fish, and industry. When the Lord struck the Nile, Egypt would face severe difficulties, and its gods would not be able to help.
See also Jeremiah 46; Ezekiel 29–32.
