Plagas de Egipto

Moses stands at the edge of the Nile with his staff lowered into the water as the river turns blood-red before the court of Egypt. Across the water, Pharaoh watches from a royal landing beside carved sphinx forms, attendants, papyrus reeds, palace buildings, and the distant pyramid rising over the Egyptian horizon. The scene presents the first plague on Egypt, when the Lord judged the gods and power of Pharaoh by striking the Nile, the source of Egypt’s life and wealth.

The biblical moment comes from Exodus 7, where Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh after his refusal to release Israel. The river becoming blood reveals that deliverance is not achieved by human negotiation but by the sovereign command of God. This artwork is suited for teaching on the Exodus, divine judgment, spiritual bondage, obedience, and God’s power to redeem His people.
