    but it was saying that each of the 10 plagues was aimed at a different egyption god

    so i was wondering

    is this true and if so which god got which plague?

    Blood - acording to this artical this one is against Khmun who is the gardian of the nile and Osiris, who brings the corn

    Frogs - Heket was the wife of khmun and this plague was aimed at her, seems this plague was ment to disasosiate frogs with the life of the nile by driving everyone bonkers

    Vermin - hmm this artical calls this plauge gnats, aimed at Geb the father of Osiris and Isis who was god of the earth and gardian of the health of the crops, the gnats rose from the earth where normally crops would so destroying the faith of the people in Geb

    Beasts - hmm this list seems to be wrong cause this one is flys but this guy says it could be bettles (scarabs) which come at that time of the year anyway, hmmm aparently THIS plague was ALSO aimed at Ra cause the scarab is his symbol

    Cattle Disease - well cattle were sarcred to Apis so this one was aimed at him

    Boils -

    Hail

    Locusts

    Darkness - that one is DEFINITLY against Ra

    Slaying of First Born

    thats all it gave me

    Hmm, let's see if I remember Hebrew class.

    Blood = Hapi, Nile God
    Frogs = god of childbirth (had something to do with frogs, dont remember)
    gnats = ?
    flies = Kheper, god of flies
    cattle = Apis, god of the bull
    boils = Imhotep (healing)
    hail = duh, sky god - Nut
    locust = god of farming, agriculture (set? seth? something like that)
    darkness = you got it, Ra
    first-born death = As I recall this was more directed at Pharoh who, at the time, was viewed as the link between god and man.

    Tyler, Pharoah was a God. Or rather, an incarnation of a God.
