Making Sense of the Plagues: The Education of Pharaoh INCONSISTENCIES WITHIN THE PLAGUES Then YHVH said to Mother, Pharaohs heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go. Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water; stand by at the river bank to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was turned into a snake. Say to him, YHVH, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say, Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened. Thus says YHVH, By this you shall know that I am YHVH. See, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall be turned to blood. (Show [Exodus] 7: 14 - 17) In this account of the warning of the first plague (blood), there are several details which show up again in some but not all of the other plaguesMosheh warns Pharaoh about the upcoming plague but not every time (only before the plagues of frogs, wild beasts, pestilence, hail, locusts and the first-born) Some of these warnings take place in the early morning by the banks of the Nile (wild beasts and hail) while others take place in Pharaohs palace theological message (e.
g. By this you shall know that I am YHVH) is appended to the warning whereas other warnings are bereft of such a messageMoshehs staff is used in some of the plagues but not all (it is only used in the plagues of blood, frogs, lice, hail and locusts). Our first simple and straightforward question is: Is there any rhyme or reason to the plagues and their attendant warnings which would explain these apparent inconsistencies?
