The First Plague on Egypt

• Exodus 720
• So Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD had
  commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck
  the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of
  Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all
  the water that was in the Nile was turned to
  blood.

Reprint 4060

• As the water represents truth, the thought here
  conveyed would be that from the worldly
  standpoint very soon all truth will become
  repulsiveevery feature of truth connected with
  the divine plan as represented in the Word of God
  will become abhorrent and the digging of wells
  would seem to imply that, rejecting the Word of
  God the world (ChristendomChurchianity) will
  seek for truth in various ways of their own.

Smiths Bible Dictionary

• To blood is ascribed in Scripture the mysterious
  sacredness which belongs to life, and God
  reserved it to himself when allowing man the
  dominion over and the use of the lower animals
  for food. Thus reserved, it acquires a double
  power (1) that of sacrificial atonement and (2)
  that of becoming a curse when wantonly shed,
  unless duly expiated.

Genesis 44-7

• 4 ... And the LORD had regard for Abel and for
  his offering
• 5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no
  regard. So Cain became very angry and his
  countenance fell.
• 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, Why are you
  angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
• 7 If you do well, will not your countenance be
  lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is
  crouching at the door and its desire is for you,
  but you must master it.

10
Genesis 48-11

• 8 And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came
  about when they were in the field, that Cain rose
  up against Abel his brother and killed him. 9
  Then the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel your
  brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my
  brothers keeper? 10 And He said, What have you
  done? The voice of your brothers blood is crying
  to Me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed
  from the ground, which has opened its mouth to
  receive your brothers blood from your hand.
