Total agricultural devastation leaves Egypt facing famine and economic collapse.
What Does Psalms 105:35 Mean?
Total consumption is the result. Not some herbs, but all herbs. Not portions of fruit, but all fruit of the ground. The devastation was absolute and complete. What remained after the hail was consumed by the locusts, leaving Egypt facing starvation. No blade of grass, no grain, no fruit remained.
This total desolation was the point. Egypt's economic and food-producing power was broken. What Egypt had relied on for survival and wealth—agricultural abundance—was completely stripped away. The plagues demonstrated that nothing Egypt valued was secure against God's will.
