like for pestilence. So many things could go there.

livestock actually worked as a typein for pestilence. I must have typed in locust 10 times and never thought to try locusts though, so it could use a few more typeins

He was showing the Israelites that He is God. The only God. All the plagues were actually aimed toward a different Egyptian god, showing that He is the only God, and the false gods of the Egyptians were just that-false!

Level 87

Jun 18, 2023

He could have made that point after the first plague. Hardening Pharaoh's heart so that the Egyptians would have to suffer through 10 plagues was kind of a dick move.

Level 55

Apr 22, 2026

Didnt it take even pharaohs servants like 6 plagues to say this is the finger of god

Level 17

Sep 19, 2018

If you do some research, each of the 10 plagues were based on different Egyptian deities. ie: the god of crops, water, etc. The reason God did these was to prove that He was God over all the Egyptian gods

Level 72

Oct 4, 2018

If he's meant to be omnipotent couldn't he have just used his omnipotence to make whoever he was trying to prove himself to know he existed? Surely he wouldn't need to do all that stuff. He could just remove all memory of the Egyptian gods from everyone's memories, thereby getting rid of all knowledge of them.

And that way's not as fun

Level 64

It's Jewish mythology, and mythology is full of symbolism. Which, yes, is fun!

Because it's a story of a process, the same as any transition from minor or pre-existing religion into Christianity.

There's quite a lot in the Pentateuch to suggest that Moses actually worshipped a volcano...

Good quiz. Haven't studied these since I was in middle school, possibly earlier. Reminds me of the film Prince of Egypt, a film which I loved despite its inaccuracy of Christian mythology. I went to private school for the first seven grades, by the way. I am no longer a Christian (I am an agnostic deist), but I still find this interesting. As I do the beliefs and stories of many other religions. A truly fascinating topic.

Level 50

Mar 30, 2015

i found the prince of egypt to be fairly accurate, compared to others. i heard a talk by a rabbi and he estimated that it was about 80% accurate. except the whole pharao/moses brother thing. but with the plagues and stuff...

Level 79

Jan 11, 2016

my Muslim colleague who watched the film was most bothered by the part where Moses allowed women to walk in front of him.

Level 49

Feb 14, 2020

Yup, all I could think of was Prince of Egypt for most of my guesses.

I learned it as plague on the cattle. Got it after trying livestock, so I'm grateful that's in there. But I think a lot of people call it "cattle".

Thanks.

Level 21

Wasn't it death of the eldest son, not the eldest child?

Level 36

Jul 5, 2017

Yes, it was the death of the eldest son. But that was probably because female children were held in such low esteem that killing them would have meant nothing to the Egyptians.

Level 45

Jun 15, 2023

This is simply not an accurate portrayal of Ancient Egyptian gender roles. Even though they did fluctuate over 5000 years of history, in general daughters were absolutely valued and were able to inherit, make money, and choose their life partners (outside of the nobility where likely nobody had a choice)

Level 23

You should see the spring migration of locusts in Egypt. It is so scary, they just cover everything. They look like a huge black cloud and they keep hitting everything as they are flying. I witnessed that once or twice. But they were just migrating nothing to worry about.

Justin Bieber gained notoriety in 2008 and was obviously God's punishment for us allowing Michael Bay to make a Transformers movie. It had nothing to do with ancient Egypt.

Actually, his EP dropped in late 2009, after Revenge of the Fallen came out, which was partially set in ancient Egypt (since it's all ancient). So it's really booooooooooooooooooth wooooooooooo!!! I hate that I know this now, thanks for making me look it up jerk :p

Actually, if it's just one then doesn't that make it a grasshopper rather than a locust?

it is said that the plague of frogs was only one giant frog at first, but every time the egyptians hit a frog, it split in two or spawned more frogs.

I am currently reading through Exodus as part of my quest to read the Bible chronologically in a year. Otherwise I would not have remembered, say, gnats and flies. Not all of the plagues are as memorable as the death of the first born sons, the locusts and boils, or turning the Nile to blood.

"You shall say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now.” Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood. The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will become foul, and the Egyptians will find difficulty in drinking water from the Nile.”’”

Level 73

Sep 14, 2018

if you read the bible, you will very quickly find that:

1. It's hilarious

2. God is obviously the bad guy

Level 44

Apr 21, 2026

remember he did this to the egyptians, who were obviously the bad guys for enslaving the israelites. that makes god a good guy.

I can't believe that ligma wasn't on here. "For each one shall be diseased with ligma."

Level 69

Old Testament god makes some pretty heavy handed points.

Boils or the killing of first born sons could easily be replaced with something akin to making all meat taste like sauceless Arby's or having everyone sound like Piers Morgan.

Pharoah would have packed the Israelites' bags himself and upgraded them to business class after 30 minutes of that.

Level 25

Nov 16, 2018

Go them all with 2:09 to spare.

Level 26

Dec 19, 2022

Luckily, I read the Bible (and it is easy to name them if you read Exodus). God did try to teach the Egyptians a lesson but the pharaoh didn't learn his lesson (even though he let the Israelites go) which caused to his death after Moses un- platted the sea wen he got to the other side using his staff - which can turn into a snake thanks to the Lord.

Level 44

Apr 21, 2026

not true. pharaoh actually didn't die in the ocean. he was kept alive for many years and even became the ruler of nineveh, in the story of jonah.
