 * murrain.
   We may observe a particular scope and meaning in this
   calamity, if we consider it in regard to the Egyptians, which
   would not have existed in respect to any other people.  They
   held in idolatrous reverence almost every animal, but some
   they held in particular veneration; as the ox, cow, and ram.
   Among these, {Apis} and {Mnevis} are well known; the former
   being a sacred bull, worshipped at Memphis, as the latter was
   at Heliopolis.  A cow or heifer had the like honours at
   Momemphis; and the same practice seems to have been adopted
   in most of the Egyptian {nomes.}  By the infliction of this
   judgment, the Egyptian deities sank before the God of the
   Hebrews.  See Bryant, pp. 87-93.
