- and the frogs:
- Whether the frog among the Egyptians was an object of reverence or abhorrence is uncertain. It might have been both at the same time, as many objects are known to have been among particular nations; for proof of which see the very learned Jacob Bryant, on the Plagues of Egypt, pp. 31-34. "Whatsoever¹¹ hath no¹ finsª nor scalesª in the waters,ª that¹ [shall be] an abominationª unto you." {Lev 11:12} + "He sentª° divers sorts of fliesª among them, which devouredª° them; and frogs,ª which destroyedª° them." {Psa 78:45} + "Their landª brought forth²° frogs² in abundance,ª°¹ in the chambersª of their kings.ª" {Psa 105:30} + "Andª I sawª° threeª uncleanª spiritsª likeª frogsª [come] out ofª the¹ mouthª of the¹ dragon,ª andª out ofª the¹ mouthª of the¹ beast,ª andª out ofª the¹ mouthª of the¹ false prophet.ª" {Rev 16:13}
