7409. 'And the land stank' means what was as a result foul and repulsive. This is clear from the meaning of 'stinking' as that which is foul and repulsive, dealt with in 4516, 7161, 7319; and from the meaning of 'the land', here the land of Egypt, as the natural mind, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301.
