The religion of the Egyptians centred mostly about the veneration of the sun and of the Nile as sources of life. Each plague was directed to a particular Egyptian god and the altar. 1. Thus, The first plague of bloody waters was directed against Osiris, the god of the Nile. 2. The second plague of frogs was against the frog goddess Hekt. 3. The third plague of lice was against Seb, the earth god. 4. The fourth plague of beetles (or flies) was against Hatkok, the wife of Osiris. 5. The fifth plague of cattle disease was against Apis, the sacred bull god. 6. The sixth plague, boils, was against Typhon. 7. The seventh plague, hail and fire, was against Shu, the god of the atmosphere. 8. The eighth plague, locusts, was against Serapia, the god who protected Egypt against locusts. 9. The ninth plague, darkness, was against Ra, the sun god. 10. The tenth plague, the death of the firstborn, was an attack on all gods. Is God still sending plagues to counteract earthly gods?!
