The plague of frogs is the second of ten plagues, each demonstrating God's power over the Egyptian gods and Pharaoh. Frogs were associated with the Egyptian goddess Heqet, symbolizing fertility and life. The invasion of frogs would have been seen as a direct challenge to this deity, showing that the God of Israel had dominion over all creation. This plague also serves as a reminder of the consequences of hardening one's heart against God's commands.<p><b>and your people</b><br>The inclusion of "your people" signifies that the plague would affect not only Pharaoh but all Egyptians, highlighting the communal nature of sin and its consequences. This collective suffering underscores the widespread impact of Pharaoh's stubbornness and the national implications of his decisions. It also serves as a parallel to the collective deliverance that God would eventually bring to the Israelites, emphasizing the theme of corporate identity and responsibility.<p><b>and all your officials.’”</b><br>The mention of "all your officials" indicates that the plague would reach the highest levels of Egyptian society, affecting those who were directly involved in the administration and enforcement of Pharaoh's policies. This demonstrates that no one is exempt from the judgment of God, regardless of their status or power. It also foreshadows the eventual downfall of the Egyptian leadership, as seen in the later plagues and the Exodus event.
