The 10 plagues

This resource provides a detailed analysis of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, focusing on how they systematically dismantled the theological, economic, and political structures of ancient Egypt. Students are tasked with evaluating the intentionality behind each plague through specific questions that require textual evidence. The document explores the theological foundations that inform the narrative, the interconnectedness of the plagues, and their targeted strikes against various Egyptian deities. Additionally, it discusses ecological theories regarding the plagues and the psychological impacts on the Egyptian population, culminating in a critical analysis of the collapse of both divine and state authority as portrayed in the biblical account.
