Clash of the Gods In Egypt, pharaohs were
considered to be divine beings. When Moses came
to Pharaoh to ask for the release of Gods
people, God and a false god, Pharaoh, clashed in
a battle of wills and power. God showed his
supremacy through the plagues. One way to
understand the plagues is that they were direct
attacks against the false gods of Egypt.
