Exodus 7:20,21

Exodus 7:20,21 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. God commanded Moses and his brother, Aaron to use the rod which God had given them. Aaron stretched out the rod over the Nile river and it turned into blood! Gross! But Pharaoh’s magicians were able to do the same thing – only their water-to-blood was only a trick. Soon, all the fish in the Nile River died and everything began to stink. But even then, Pharaoh would not let the Children of Israel go. God had ten plagues for Moses to put onto Egypt to show Pharaoh that He was the God of the universe. But Pharaoh never learned his lesson. Plague after plague, Pharaoh would ask Moses to stop the punishment, but when the plague was over, Pharaoh would get tough again and not let the Children of Israel go. The next plague was the plague of frogs. The Egyptians woke up the next morning to find frogs everywhere! They were in their beds; they were in their ovens; they were in their kneading troughs where they made bread! Everywhere they stepped, they stepped on a frog! And when Pharaoh howled to Moses and the plague stopped, the Egyptians had to rake up all of those dead frog bodies. The piles of frogs began to stink. Can you imagine the stench? God was teaching Pharaoh and the Egyptians a lesson!
