Exodus 7:22
But the magicians of Egypt did the same by
their secret arts. So Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not
listen to them, as the Lord had said.
God is making a mockery of Pharaoh and his
magicians by convincing them to curse themselves in order to stick it to Moses.
Why didn't Pharaoh's magicians turn the blood back into water? Wouldn't that
have been more impressive? If Moses kicks you in the groin and the way you get
back at him is to kick yourself in the groin, you aren't getting it – and your
groin really hurts! No wonder Paul had
this to say about these magicians' "success" in fighting against
Moses and Aaron.
2 Timothy 3:9b
…just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly
will be plain to everyone
