Here we must remember that when Moses got frogs , the Egyptian magician did the same thing so the frogs multiplied in number. The Egyptians were tired of these plaques. Tired as they were of these plagues, it made them realize and acknowledge the true power of the God of Israel, while at the same time disproveing and bringing into question the powers of their own so called gods

∙ 8y agoAccording the the scriptures, apparently the first three plagues were experienced by the Hebrews as well, because after the third plague, Exodus 8:22+24 tells us: "But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there(NIV)....I will put a division between my people and thy people..."(KJB), so, for the last 7 plagues, only Egypt was affected(Exodus 9:1-11, Exodus 9:22-26, Exodus 10:12-15, Exodus 10:21-23, Exodus 12:12+29/ Numbers 33:4) as YHWH (the God of The Bible) humiliated each of Egypt's gods from Nut, Hathor, Apis, Thoth, Isis, Ptah, Reshpu to Min, Rah and Horus.

∙ 9y agoNo. Based on tradition, the Israelites were unaffected by the plagues, one of whose purposes was to demonstrate that the Israelites were chosen by God. This, despite the fact that the Israelites' being unaffected is not stated explicitly until the fourth Plague (for a reason explained by Abravanel and Kli Yakar commentaries).

∙ 8y agoThe Bible makes it clear that the Hebrews were entirely unaffected by the ten plagues. In fact, it would seem that the Egyptians were equally unaffected, as there is nothing in Egyptian texts that could be related to the story in the Book of Exodus. Lester L Grabbe (Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?) says that there is no period in the second half of the second millennium BCE when Egypt was subject to a series of plagues, death of children, physical disruption of the country and the loss of huge numbers of its inhabitants.

What was the name of the Hebrews when they crossed Egypt?
While in Egypt, the Hebrews were known as the "Children of Israel". The main reason for that particular label was the fact that they were all descended from Jacob, who was also named Israel. They never crossed Egypt. The part of Egypt that they inhabited was adjacent to its eastern boundary, and when they left Egypt, they exited toward the east. So they never traversed any part of the country other than the part they had inhabited for hundreds of years.
Why could the Hebrews not form a nation while living as slaves in Egypt?
From a biblical perspective, it is hard to understand why the Hebrews could not form a nation while living in Egypt. The Bible tells us that they numbered 600,000 fighting men, which means a total of at least 2.5 million people, while archaeologists tell us that the entire population of Egypt was only 3.5 million people. So, even without God's help, they could have overthrown the Egyptians any time they wished, then had the most prosperous and powerful nation in the Mediterranean world all to themselves. However, there is no historical or archaeological evidence that the Hebrews were even in Egypt at any stage. Over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that there never was an Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt as described in the Bible. That is why they could not form a nation while living in Egypt - they were never in Egypt.
What is the history of ten plagues of Egypt in the Bible?
Historically, the Ten Plagues occurred over the course of one year (Mishna, Eduyot ch.2), which according to traditional chronology was 1313-1312 BCE. The plagues, in order, were: Blood, frogs, lice, swarms of animals, death to the flocks, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, death to the firstborn.After the Plagues, Egypt was in turmoil for decades, as we may understand from the Ipuwer papyri (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). This (and evidence for the Exodus in general) may be seen here:http://www.academia.edu/1651319/Is_the_Exodus_Story_Possiblehttp://www.biblicalchronologist.org/answers/exodus_egypt.phpAnd the wider picture.

What Wonder of the Ancient World do some historians believe the ancient Hebrews might have had a role in building as slaves?
The wonders of the ancient world that one would find in Egypt are the Great Pyramids of Giza, which were built durig the century prior to 2500 BCE. Notice that date.Supposing that the ancient Hebrews really were slaves in Egypt they could not have arrived before about 1800 BCE, as they are portrayed in the Bible as leaving Egypt in 1440 BCE after a 400 year sojourn there. By the time of their arrival in Egypt, the pyramids were already quite ancient. No serious historian would believe the ancient Hebrews had any part in building the pyramids.In fact, the clear consensus of historians is that the Hebrew nation was never in Egypt, there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, and no conquest of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.
Did the Hebrews defeat the Mesopotamians?
