Those who believe The Bible explain them the same now as then - plagues happened either as a result of an imbalance in nature or because they were sent by God.

Modern scholars offer various explanations for the ten plagues in the context of ancient Egypt. Some propose naturalistic explanations, suggesting that the plagues were exaggerated descriptions of real phenomena like red algae blooms, water turning to blood due to sediment, and Infectious Diseases. Others view the plagues as symbolic or mythological narratives meant to convey a theological message, highlighting the power of the Hebrew God over the Egyptian deities and the liberation of the Israelites from slavery. The interpretation of the plagues continues to be a subject of debate among scholars.
