Exodus 7:21
7:21 When the fish52 that were in the Nile died, the Nile began53 to stink, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood54 everywhere in the land of Egypt!
tn The first clause in this verse begins with a vav disjunctive, introducing a circumstantial clause to the statement that the water stank. The vav (ו) consecutive on the next verb shows that the smell was the result of the dead fish in the contaminated water. The result is then expressed with the vav beginning the clause that states that they could not drink it.
53
tn The preterite could be given a simple definite past translation, but an ingressive past would be more likely, as the smell would get worse and worse with the dead fish.
