In this essay I will talk about the plagues that God sent against the Egyptians so that the Jews would be freed from their hands. There was not a struggle between God and the Egyptian power, but between God and the Egyptian gods to show who the true God was. In Exodus 9:13-14, Yahweh told Moses to say to Pharaoh of Egypt, “Yahweh, God of the Jews, says this: Let my people go and worship me. For this time I will send all my plagues upon you, upon your officials and upon your subjects, so that you may know that there is no one like me in the whole world. «The ten plagues made the Lord evident to the Israelites and also to the stubborn Pharaoh and his Egyptian subjects. The plagues also demonstrated Yahweh's power and how much effort he had to go through to deliver them. The first plague turned the Nile into blood. In doing so, all the fish died because of the blood and the river began to stink. The Egyptian would hate to drink from the river. Every source of water they had turned to blood, every stream, river, pond, pool of water, wooden buckets and stone jugs. The Nile turned into blood was the judgment against the Egyptian god Apis, who was the gold of the Nile. Egyptian magicians could also convert water into blood. His magicians could not convert the blood back into water, and the Egyptian people had to dig for water for seven days. The second plague, which brought frogs from the Nile, was a judgment against the Egyptian god Heket, who was the frog-headed goddess of birth. . For the Egyptians, frogs were supposed to be sacred and were not to be killed. Yahweh caused frogs to invade every part of the Egyptians' homes. When the frogs died, they stunk. Egyptian magicians could also summon frogs, but they could not chase them away. At this point,... half of the paper... the last wound. He sent the angel of death throughout the land of Egypt, who would kill the firstborn male of each family. If there was lamb's blood smeared on the door, then the angel would make the Passover in that house. This was the plague for which Pharaoh decided to let the Israelites go. The consequences of all these plagues left the people of Israel with the impression that God had power, protection, and plans for them. Once the Israelites were gone, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and sent people to chase the Israelites. God opened the Red Sea for the Israelites, but Pharaoh's army tried to follow him, but they were swallowed up by the Red Sea. The mighty act of the Lord had two interpretations, the first was that these were attacks against the deities of Egypt and the second is that they should teach Israel that the God of Creation was the God who delivered them from Egypt.
