EXPLANATION

Verse 18. Practiced, fecerunt; the same expression as verse 7: whence some argue, that the former were delusions, not real changes. Bible.—God was pleased to shew here the vanity of their attempts, and the imbecility of the devil, who could not even bring a single animalcule or insect, though he had before appeared to work great wonders. Tirinus.
