Ten plagues and ten Egyptian gods!!

The God of Israel is greater than all other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.

 God reached out to the Egyptian people. He showed them his power in ways they understood and could not ignore, He demonstrated the futility and falseness of their religion, and He offered them every opportunity to turn to Him.
