All the Miracles of Bible

Introduction

At several places in the bible are examples of Miracle that were performed by Jesus. The way in which these miracles should be interpreted is a matter of discord and many debates have been done on the issue.

Hence in simpler words the heart of Pharaoh was not only hard and contradicts the commands of God but on also he rejects to change his own judgment and goes against the sayings of God(Times Online, "Plagues of Egypt 'caused by nature, not God'”).

In order to show his devotion to the god of the Nile it was the habit of Pharaoh that he used to go to the River Nile daily in the morning. Egypt's economy was then based on the River Nile. The people of Egypt relied on the River Nile not only for water but also for their transportation and crops.
