📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Exodus, God is using Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, who has enslaved the Israelites and refused to let them go. As part of a series of miraculous plagues sent by God to demonstrate His power, Aaron stretches out his hand over the waters, causing frogs to swarm and cover the land as a direct judgment. This plague highlighted the supremacy of Israel's God over the Egyptian deities associated with fertility and the Nile.
