Exodus 8:1-4
Excerpted from: The Plagues of EgyptThis also struck at Egyptian religion. The frog was the symbol of the goddess Heket. She was the goddess of procreation and childbirth. Guess where he hit this time? Sex. They would give offerings to Heket so that they could have children, and their livestock too.
You understand how they got the frog as the symbol of procreation. Frogs are prolific like rabbits. They put out thousands of eggs, and all these little tadpoles come out. It is interesting also that this plague also struck at the Nile in an indirect way, because the frogs lived in the Nile, the god of the Nile produced the frogs. And it was the frog that they thought blessed procreation. So here again God was striking at their religion right at the base of it.
