When God caused the 10 plagues i am interested in the responses by pharoah.
Why when the plague of blood and of frogs would the reaction be that pharaoh's own magicians replicated the problem? Surely if your home is invaded by frogs or your water supply becomes blood, your response would not be to add to it, making things even worse! Surely if those magicians had powers, they would have used them to counteract the problems?
To me it is not logic.
I understand Pharoah was saying, anything you can do my magicians can do too. It's just a trick. But really? I bet citizens were not too pleased - frogs then more frogs.
Then when given chance to get rid of the frogs - pharoah said - do it tomorrow! Why would you wait a minute longer than necessary?
