Join host Lance Smith in this episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast as we delve into the intriguing challenge of Exodus 7:19. We explore how the Israelites managed to escape the devastation of the first plague, despite the Nile River and all water sources in Egypt turning to blood.
Through a careful examination of biblical texts and scholarly interpretations, we analyze whether the Israelites were miraculously spared from the plague right from the start, or if they too had to navigate through these troubled waters. We also consider the geographical factors and God's divine protection in keeping the Israelites safe, highlighting the power dynamics between God's supremacy and Egypt's polytheistic beliefs.
Tune in as we uncover fascinating insights and theories, blending historical, linguistic, and theological perspectives to understand how the Israelites survived this biblical crisis.
