Psalm 105:35
βAnd did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
The consequence of the previous plague is explicit: the food-producing capacity of Egypt is devastated.
Israel in Egypt, Moses, and the signs of judgment
The psalm recounts Israel's growth, Egyptian hostility, the sending of Moses and Aaron, and the plagues culminating in the death of the firstborn.
Read carefully
Remembering judgment does not remove the biblical demand for compassion toward suffering people.
Reflection
Keep human need in view rather than reducing catastrophe to symbolism.
