In this context, the plague of frogs represents a direct challenge to the Egyptian pantheon, particularly the goddess Heqet, who was associated with fertility and often depicted as a frog. This plague demonstrates God's power over Egyptian deities and the natural world. The abundance of frogs, normally a sign of the Nile's life-giving properties, becomes a curse, illustrating the reversal of blessings when God's will is opposed.<p><b>and they will come into your palace</b><br>The palace of Pharaoh, a symbol of Egyptian power and authority, is not exempt from the plague. This signifies that God's judgment reaches even the highest echelons of society, challenging Pharaoh's perceived divinity and control. The invasion of frogs into the palace underscores the futility of human power against divine will.<p><b>and up to your bedroom and onto your bed</b><br>The intrusion into personal spaces like the bedroom and bed highlights the pervasive nature of the plague. It signifies the loss of personal comfort and privacy, emphasizing that no area of life is beyond God's reach. This invasion into intimate spaces serves as a metaphor for the inescapable nature of divine judgment.<p><b>into the houses of your officials and your people</b><br>The plague affects not only Pharaoh but also his officials and the general populace, indicating that the consequences of leadership's defiance against God extend to the entire nation. This communal suffering reflects the interconnectedness of society and the collective responsibility for national sin.<p><b>and into your ovens and kneading bowls</b><br>The mention of ovens and kneading bowls points to the disruption of daily life and sustenance. Bread, a staple of the Egyptian diet, becomes contaminated, symbolizing the corruption of essential resources.

These, however, may be viewed as detached fragments of the river. <span class="cmt_word">Thine house... thy bed-chamber... thy bed</span>.
