Pharaoh and the Ten Plagues of Egypt Quiz

Answer: blood

Moses came to me and said, "Let my people go!" and I laughed at him. You can't just come in here and tell me what to do, I am the king. I don't even know this God of his and all the Hebrews are free labor. They are slaves that are building my kingdom. So Moses held that stick of his out and the Nile River turned to blood. I turned to my magicians who did the same, turning all the rest of the water into blood too.

This sure is gross. Don't drink the lemonade, do you hear me?

Answer: frogs

Sigh, just when I thought I could have a peaceful night's sleep and some quiet. I lied to Moses and I wasn't really planning on letting those Hebrews go free. I guess God isn't happy. He sent all these frogs to bother me. They are going to be croaking and ribbiting all night. Hey! Maybe if I lie again, God will get rid of them! That's what I will do, first thing in the morning!

Answer: lice

This is worse than the first trick Moses and his God did. I have lice in my hair, my clothes, my bed, and everywhere! They sure do bite. I think my servant is coming in now with the lice comb and mayonnaise. They say it will get rid of those little buggies. I shouldn't have lied again to Moses and his God.

Answer: flies

Flies are everywhere, even the soup! I think I lost my appetite. If you are staying anywhere in Egypt I think Joe's hardware is having a sale on fly swatters. I just bought a thousand. He said he gave me a discount, but that sure was a big bill. Maybe I should let those Hebrews go free. It's got to be cheaper and less annoying than this.

Answer: God is killing the cattle.

That's the third cow that has fallen over this morning. All the cattle are dying because God is killing them. I guess the supermarket will be having a sale on hamburgers and steak, but I don't think I want to eat anything that died like that. I guess this is what I get for making God mad. At least I still have the Hebrews. I can get them to clean up this place and the smell.

Answer: boils

Ouch! This is way worse than the chicken pox. These huge sores have broken out all over my body and nasty stuff comes out. They are super painful. The doctor gave me some cream but I don't think that is going to help. I think God is the only one that can take these things away, but I still don't want to lose the Hebrews.

Answer: hail

Huge chunks of ice hail have been falling from the sky. They are destroying houses, buildings, and even my best chariots! I wonder if I got insurance for hail damage when I bought them. Hopefully that will cover the expenses. I can't drive around in a bumpy chariot because impression is everything.

However I can see I didn't impress God too much when I told Him no again. He's been sending terrible thunder to go along with the ice balls.

Answer: locusts

This isn't the wild west, but a tourist would not be able to tell the difference right now. Locusts and grasshoppers have been hopping and flying. They are eating all the crops that were not destroyed by the bad weather we have been having. I know I am stubborn, but I am not sure of how much more of Moses and his God I can take.

Answer: darkness

God provided light in the land where the Hebrews live, but everywhere else in Egypt is like New York City without a light bulb. It is pure darkness. It's a good thing my mom taught me not to be afraid of it when I was a kid. I've been bumping and crashing into everything this morning. I can't see, but I think I just broke my wife's expensive vase I got her for her birthday. Boy, she sure will be mad at me for telling God no again.

Answer: death of the firstborn

Last night while everyone was asleep, God sent an angel of death over Egypt. He told the Hebrews to put the blood of a lamb over their door posts so He would not come into their house. I didn't know that. This morning many parents woke up crying because their first son or daughter had been killed during the night. I told Moses to get out of here. I should have been wiser and listened to God the first time when Moses said, "Let my people go!"
