Summary/Abstract: The Egipt plagues or the confrontation between the two religios. The confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh begins like a direct fight to prove every faith trying his authenticity. The religion of the Pharaons was supported with miracles but only in the first stage, that’s mean the “level of walking sticks”. This is proving just an easy magic act, a kind of sketch of the magicians from the Pharaon’s court. All ten plagues are in fact a struggle not only against Pharaon but also against to the religion of Egyptians. It is a conflict between Hebrew monotheism and Egyptian polytheism, between IAHVE and Amon-Ra.
