Vines and fig trees were significant agricultural products in ancient Egypt, symbolizing prosperity and sustenance. The destruction of these plants would have been a severe blow to the Egyptian economy and daily life. In biblical symbolism, the vine often represents Israel (<a href="/isaiah/5.htm">Isaiah 5:1-7</a>), and the fig tree can symbolize peace and security (<a href="/micah/4-4.htm">Micah 4:4</a>). The striking of these plants in Egypt underscores God's power over nature and His ability to disrupt the natural order to fulfill His purposes.<p><b>and shattered the trees of their country</b><br>The shattering of trees indicates a comprehensive devastation affecting the entire land. Trees in the ancient Near East were vital for food, shade, and construction. This destruction would have had long-term effects on the environment and the people’s livelihood. The phrase echoes the broader theme of divine judgment found throughout the Old Testament, where God uses natural elements to execute His will (<a href="/exodus/9-25.htm">Exodus 9:25</a>).
