When Yahweh turned the Nile into chicken blood, they did exactly the same thing! Blood is not just blood from a hospital. Barbarians knew nothing about preserving blood or refrigeration. They only knew how to sacrifice and kill. But blood had to be of some sort or another. I suspect it was chicken blood. But in any event, it surely ruined the water! The whole damn Nile! "About midway through the second millenium BCE, chickens were found in Babylonia, Egypt, and other parts of the Middle East and North Africa.They are thought to have arrived, via importation, in Greece around the eighth century BCE, and subsequently, they were passed on throughout much of the rest of Europe." But in any event, the blood of Passover was from thousands of lambs--not chickens! It was a wonderful event! Every Jewish household took a cute little lamb with no blemishes and treated it really nice for four days! Then just when it turned twilight they cut her throat. Then they took a paint brush made of racoon fur and they brushed that wonderful blood on the door frames. How else was the angel of God supposed to know what Race lived in the house in order to promote and honor human rights and racial equality? After that they roasted the lambkins and they had to eat EVERY SINGLE MORSEL! Just imagine in households of only 2 or 3 people? The eating was like crazy and it was almost as bad as having your nostrils stuffed with quail! They ate and they ate and they ate and then washed it down with matzo buns. But that blood in the Nile was probably chicken blood. There were no lambs to spare. Oh I almost forgot why the angel was there! It was to kill the firstborn in every house if they were from a certain Race! Yeah! Sometimes the first born was only 1 day old. Sometimes 116 years old. It didn't matter. It was a principle! Yabba Dabba Doo! 20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into blood. 21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. Blood was everywhere in Egypt. 22 But the Egyptian magicians did the same things by their secret arts, and Pharaoh’s heart became hard; he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said. 23 Instead, he turned and went into his palace, and did not take even this to heart. 24 And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile to get drinking water, because they could not drink the water of the river.
