*Chapter vii., v. 1. What is meant by the words 'I have made thee a God to Pharaoh?' In what sense could Moses be considered as Pharaoh's God? He was not worshipped by Pharaoh, nor did he rule Pharaoh. Verses 10, 11, and 12. Is it necessary to argue in the middle of the nineteenth century that the whole account of these miracles are unreasonable as well as impossible? unreasonable, because even the most pious Theist, if he claimed for God the power to turn a rod into a serpent, would hardly concede the same power to the sorcerers and magicians of Egypt. The throwing down the rod by Aaron, its change into a serpent, and the swallowing the other rods, form a display without purpose or utility, because God has already predestined that they should produce no effect whatever upon Pharaoh. Verses 19, 20, and 21. These verses, if they mean anything, mean that the _whole of the water_ in Egypt was turned to blood; if so, the twenty-second verse would be incorrect in stating that the magicians did the same, because, _if all the water_ were already turned to blood by Aaron, there would not be any left for the magicians to operate upon. We are told that this plague was throughout the whole of the land of Egypt; if so, the Jews must have suffered equally with the Egyptians. This for seven days in a warm country would have been a terrible plague. The same remarks apply to the following plague of frogs. *Chapter viii., w. 17 and 18. It is scarcely a matter for wonder that the magicians could not turn the dust into lice, when we are told that _all the dust_ had been previously changed bv Aaron. Verses 22 and 23. It is evident from these verses that the Jews had been equal participators in all the evils attaching to the previous plagues. *Chapter ix., v. 10. What beasts could the boils break out on, when all were killed by murrain in verse 6? {52} Verses 19, 20, 21, and 25. Either the cattle which were dead in verse 6 had been restored to life, of which we have no account, or these verses are positively absurd as well as false. *Chapter xi., v. 3. 'And the Lord _gave_ the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians.' The Douay reads, 'And the Lord _will give_ favour to his people.' Our version is evidently incorrect, because the Egyptians afterwards suffered another plague, which would have been unnecessary. 'And the man Moses was very great in the land.' Moses can scarcely be supposed to have written this.
