The nation of Israel toiled for generations as slaves to Egypt, the most powerful nation in that region. The Pharaohs were considered gods on earth and suffered from the terrible vanity of pride. God sent Moses to confront the Pharaoh and ask him to release the Israelites whom God called His firstborn. He warned Moses that the king would not consent until God had displayed the wonders of His divine power. We begin this story with the sign of God turning the waters of the Nile into blood.
