THIS IS WHAT THE LORD – THE GOD OF ISRAEL SAYS / EXODUS 5:1

(KJV) Exodus 5:1

And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

The story of the exodus basically describes a conflict between two gods: the Lord and Pharaoh, since Pharoah was believed to be a human form of the sun god Re in the Egyptian religion. Pharaoh questioned the power of Israel’s God (Exodus 5:2). Since Pharaoh had enslaved Israel, he mistakenly reasoned that he must be more powerful than Israel’s God. The ten plagues were the Lord’s way of showing His people that He was more powerful than any and all Egyptian gods. For example, the Nile, the sun and the fogs all represented Egyptian deities (having divine or god-like characteristics). But the Lord God of the Hebrew people defeated them all.
