The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CV
20. “He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish” ( ver. 29 ). “He made their land frogs, yea, even in the king’s chambers” ( ver. 30 ): as if he were to say, He turned their land into frogs. For there was so great a multitude of frogs, that this might well be said by hyperbole.
