And the magicians did so - By God's permission with their enchantments; and this served Pharaoh for an excuse not to set his heart to this also, ( Exo 7:23,) and a poor excuse it was. Could they have turned the river of blood into water again, it had been something; then they had proved their power, and Pharaoh had been obliged to them as his benefactors. Exodus 7:25
