The Chosen People, as previously foretold, had spent long years of tribulation in Egyptian bondage. The captive people eagerly awaited the moment when the slave chains of affliction would be thrown off.
Moseswho returned to his people as a messenger God He went before Pharaoh, to whom he communicated the will of God. But Pharaoh didn't even want to hear about freeing the people Israel.
Then he said Mr. to Moses so that he said To Aaron to take his staff and stretch out his hand over the waters Egypt, upon its rivers, and upon its canals, and upon its ponds, and upon all its bodies of water, and they shall turn into blood. And he swore to them that blood shall be in all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and stone [(Exodus 7:19)].
The Lord God and the Plagues on Egypt
It was the first of ten plagues that Mr. He sent Pharaoh upon the people. The plagues effectively softened the stone heart The Pharaoh he mentioned God.
What Mr. God has shown to send plagues upon Egypt? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. Surely we can talk about the enormous power Creators. He certainly wanted Mr. to show his strength against other rulers.
Perhaps we should also look here at the desire to show his power before the nation Israeliteswho lost their faith during the hardships of captivity. There are many theories, but in each of them we find the possibility of placing our Mr. in first place.
