The Bible describes God's judgment against the gods of Egypt in Exodus 12:12, showcasing His sovereignty over all idols.
In Exodus 12:12, the Lord declares, 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and I will smite the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt will I execute judgment: I am the Lord.' This passage indicates that God is demonstrating His authority over the false gods worshipped by the Egyptians by executing judgment upon them. Each of the ten plagues served as a direct confrontation to the gods that the Egyptians revered, illustrating God's supremacy and the futility of idolatry. God’s actions reveal not only His power but also His holiness, emphasizing that there is no god besides Him.
