7.20 Quæ versa est in sanguinem, etc. RAB. Primum præceptum de colendo uno Deo: Non erunt tibi dii alii præter me: prima plaga, aqua in sanguinem versa. Compara primum præceptum primæ plagæ: aqua, de qua generantur omnia, significat unum Deum, ex quo omnia; sanguis, carnem mortalem. Aqua ergo versa est in sanguinem, quia commutaverunt gloriam Dei incorruptibilis in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et hæc quidem commutatio fit in corde impiorum. In sanguinem, etc. Quia qui in rerum causis carnaliter sentiunt, hujusmodi correptionibus arguuntur, ut ex qualitate pœnarum agnoscant suum errorem.

Compara first precept/rule primæ plagæ: water, from/about which generantur everything, means one God, from where everything; blood, the_flesh mortalem. Aqua therefore versa it_is in/into/on blood, because commutaverunt glory of_God incorruptibilis in/into/on similarity imaginis corruptibilis of_man, and these_things indeed commutatio fit in/into/on heart of_the_wicked. In blood, etc. Because who in/into/on rerum causis carnaliter sentiunt, of_thismodi correptionibus arguuntur, as from qualitate pœnarum agnoscant his_own errorem.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:14-25 The first plague was the plague on the Nile, when the whole river turned to blood (7:20). The Egyptians correctly understood that without the Nile there would be no life in Egypt. They worshiped the Nile as the Mother of Egypt, but God showed that life is his to give or withhold.
