Lice and flies were detested by the Egyptians who loathed pestilences and so God brought it on them in abundance.1 Frogs were considered a force of bounty, or evil spirits and this superstition was stacked high in the land til it stunk. The Nile was venerated as the source of life but it was turned to blood, the symbol of death. The plagues all undermine the religion of Egypt. To start, we should recognize that God’s plagues all demonstrate his own superiority over the gods of Egypt. For today’s meditation, we will explore what God is doing through these plagues, which are at the heart of the theology of Exodus.
