21 En de vis, die in de rivier was, stierf; en de rivier stonk, zodat de Egyptenaars het water uit de rivier niet drinken konden; en er was bloed in het ganse Egypteland.

7346. 'And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah struck the river' means the end of the state after truths were falsified. This is clear from the meaning of 'seven days' as a whole period from start to finish, thus a complete state, dealt with in 728, 6508 (the same meaning that 'a week' has, 2044, 3845) so that 'seven days were fulfilled' means the end of that period or state; and from the meaning of 'after Jehovah struck the river' as after truths were falsified. For when it says that the river was struck with Aaron's rod and the waters became blood the meaning is that truths were falsified, see 7316, 7317, 7330, 7372.
