“There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts” (8:21). At first, the powers of Egypt seemed to match whatever was done by Moses and Aaron in their confrontation with Pharaoh. The magicians made their staffs turn into serpents (7:10), and they also imitated the plagues of blood and frogs (7:22; 8:7). Eventually the magicians admitted God’s power was greater (8:19), but Pharaoh refused to relent. His biggest concern was maintaining his own god-like authority.

“Let my people go, that they may serve me” (8:20). The most powerful idol that must be toppled is human pride. God will allow “no other gods” – not even self-worship,
