How Did The Nile Turn To Blood
The Nile turn to blood | [Type the document subtitle] | | Professor A. Medly | | Danielle Patterson | 3/31/2011 | |

There was a Plague that God had put on Egypt called the Nile turn to blood. Once I read the passage I realized the many powers of God. He told Moses he would make him like God to Pharaoh and he was to say everything that God had commended him to say. God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let his people go which was the Israelites. Pharaoh who had a hard heart did not listen to Moses and did not let the people go instead he asked Moses to perform a miracle and then he would. God gave Moses and Aaron the power to do so and turned their staff into a snake but Pharaoh’s Magicians was able to do the same.

    Medicine and religion to the ancient Egyptians have a significance in the treatment of illnesses. They held their gods in high esteem and when it was time for them to heal they believed in calling upon the gods to heal them from the supernatural cause of their illness. The doctors made use of the notion that the drugs they made would get rid of the demons who would be in battle with a divinity if they did not come out of the patient. The gods did not solve the problem, the medication did but instead the notion of the gods battling the illness for them gave them strength to believe that the gods were interceding on their…

    Although there was a burning bush in the movie, it was not portrayed as God, but instead a little boy. In the biblical passage of the Exodus, Moses meets God through the burning bush and speak to him through that. With that being said, in the movie, God seems unreliable many times and leaves Moses with uncertainty of what will happen. In the Exodus passage, Moses knows exactly what will happen, because God tells him what he plans on doing. Each time God brings a plague, he lets Moses know ahead of time. Moses is never uncertain about God’s doing and has faith in him.…

    The Nile shaped Ancient Egypt by influencing the daily lives of Egyptians, both psychologically and physically. Ancient Egypt was formed around 3000 B.C.E. and lasted for thousands of years (O.I). It depended on the Nile River, which was located in central Egypt. The Nile shaped, which means formed or molded, Ancient Egypt because its location protected Egypt and provided transportation, its flooding cycle instituted a seasonal rhythm, and its great value for all of Egypt had a spiritual connection for Egyptians…

    The passage that best illustrates the account of the plagues in Egypt in Exodus 7. The J account tells of the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, of Yahweh's threat to befoul the waters of the Nile and kill the fish, and of the execution of this threat (Exod. 7:14-15a, 16-17a, 18, 21a, 23-25). The E writer added the rod of the wonder-worker and Moses' threat to strike the water and turn the Nile to blood - a threat which he fulfills (Exod. 7:15, 17b, 20b). The P author added Aaron, not Moses, is the wonder-worker, and it is Aaron who waves the rod over not only the Nile but also other rivers, canals, ponds and pools, and all waters are turned to blood, including water stored in containers. The P writer explains that this terrible plague did not change Pharaoh's mind, for Pharaoh's priests can perform the same miracle. The important change is that Aaron, the symbol of the high priesthood in Israel, acts as the priest-magician-agent of God, performing the divine will.…

    A.) The two most significant environmental or physical geographic factors that contributed to the development and expansion of the United states had to be the Gold Rush, and the Irish Potato Famine. The Irish potato famine was devistating to Ireland and laid waste to it's population, but ended up spurring Irish immigration to the United States, leading to both growth and expansion. The gold rush that took hold in the United States was one of the biggest factors that pushed people west and lead to a greater settlement of the west coast and all areas between. These two major events helped to shape the country that we know today. The Irish Potato Famine was one of the most significant environmental factors that helped develope and expand the United States because it not only lead to a population swell, but contrubuted to our work force due to the large number of immigrants that came to the U.S. as a result of it. Before the famine, the Catholic Irish peasents lived a very poor lifestyle and were constantly under fear of being evicted by their land lords as their farms were downsized and their rents were raised. They grew potato crops in the fertile Irish soil and used those crops to pay their rents and feed their families. This was many families' sole source of income and nutrition. When the potato famine began in September of 1845, the potato crops failed universaly in Ireland, something that had never happened before. The poor Irish had been acustomed to a bad crop in a spot or two and they always had adjusted to circumstances before, and there was little loss of life over this previously. From 1845 and for the next 4 years, the crops would fail repeatedly and this caused wide-spread death, from both starvation and opportunistic infections such as typhus, that mowed people down by the thousands in their hunger weakend condition. There were many theories about just why the crops failed, both superstitious and religious, but we know now that it was the fault of a…

    In the bible we see multiple instances where god puts people to the ultimate test. No one ever disobeys god and his ruling but they do question why they are doing this to themselves but they don’t let that affect them and they continue to listen to god and his orders. One of the stories that sticks out to me is about the pharaoh and him never obeying god till god had ruined his crops land and had taken his only son from him. "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely (Exodus 11:1)”. “Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well (Exodus 11:5)”.…
