RE: Were the seven days of creation in Genesis seven twenty four hour periods? - Some conclusions
The number 10 represents a fullness of quantity. 10 plagues means that egypt got pwned, utterly.
Each plague was an attack on a specific egyptian deity.
| Plague | Pwned Egyptian Deity |
|---|---|
| Nile turned to blood | Hapi, god of the Nile |
| Frogs | Heket, Fertility goddess, head of a frog |
| Lice, (from the dust) | Geb, god of the Earth |
| Swarm of Flies | Khepri, god of Creation, head of a fly |
| Death of livestock | Hathor, goddess of Love, head of a cow |
| Boils and sores | Isis, goddess of Medicine and Peace |
| Hail-fire | Nut - goddess of the Sky |
| Locusts from the sky | Seth, god of Storms and Disorder |
| 3 days of complete darkness | Ra, the Sun god |
| Passover | Pharaoh himself, the ultimate power |
Yup, plenty more to this story when digging deeper.
B"H!
"Egypt got pwned "- best comment is best.
What is the main point of the Bible?
It is the written account of Salvation History - The history of God's Covenants with Man.
Covenants are not mere contracts or agreements. They are promises that are made between family members. The Bible is the record of the process of Man being invited to intimately take part in the very existence of God.
