Exodus: Plagues on Egypt # 1-3



1st Plague – Water turned to blood  
Against – Hapi / Egyptian god of the Nile.
This god was a water bearer.


Exodus 7:19-21 (NKJV)
19. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they may become blood. And there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in buckets of wood and pitchers of stone.”
20. And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the Lord commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21. The fish that were in the river died, the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.



2nd Plague – Frogs from all water sources
Against – Heket / Egyptain god of fertility, water and renewal.
This god had the head of a frog


Exodus 8:2-6 (NKJV)
2. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.
3. So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
4. And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.”
5. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.”
6. So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.



3rd Plague – Lice from the dust of the earth.
Against – Geb / Egyptian god of the earth.
This god was over the dust of the earth.


Exodus 8:16-19 (NKJV)
16. So the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’”
17. And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18. Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.
19. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
