Psalm 78/Notes/Lexical.V. 47.870775

v. 47 – Even though "kill" with sounds a bit strange with "vine," the literal sense has been maintained in our preferred gloss—rather than something which may sound more natural, such as "destroyed"—as the choice of הרג by the poet is intentional and stresses the living nature of "their crops" (v. 46) as integral to the Egyptians' livelihood.
