The goddess of fertility and resurrection the Egyptians called “Hekt” had a frog spirit and frogs were revered by the people. When Aaron stretched out his rod over the Nile, frogs came up and covered the land entering even the king’s palace and kitchen where the old father of the frogs adds details. Though his magicians brought up frogs too, Pharaoh realized that only God could remove them and promised to let the people go.
