Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Exodus 7:25

And seven days were fulfilled. — These words seem to mark the duration of the first plague, which was the longer because Pharaoh made no submission at all in consequence of it. Obtaining sufficient water for his own purposes (see the comment on Exodus 7:23), he thought little of its continuance.
