#Plague of Frogs

Crocodiles vs. Frogs

So, discussion with my brother at the Seder:

There is an idea among some rabbis discussing the texts...

Those who read the text for the second plague and saw Tzfardeia ( צְפַרְדֵעַ), an amphibious creature. They interpreted this to mean a frog. So it was a plague of millions of frogs (or as some currently like to think, one giant frog).

Buuuut... others are now suggesting tzfardeia was for amphibious reptiles: crocodiles.

The crocodile headed god, Sobek, was closely tied to the Nile, so it would make sense as the plagues were intended to show that Hashem was more powerful than the Egyptian gods. Some discussions: Link 1

Link 2

Link 3

Link 4

There are a lot of links talking about it, so this doesn't appear to be too new an idea...

There is a frog headed goddess and in Egypt, frogs are tied to fertility, so frogs still work as a plague...

And yeah, millions of frogs are terrible, but a plague of millions of crocodiles is terrifying.

The Second Plague

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. 3 The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens…

given historical ranges of different species, what kinds of frogs could have been present for the plague of frogs in exodus?

Fantastic question. Let's assume that the Egyptians considered toads and frogs to be different organisms, and therefore the stories referring to frog plagues indeed mean frogs other than Bufonidae (I think this is a reasonable assumption). If this is the case, there are basically two key candidates: Ptychadena nilotica and Pelophylax saharicus. Ptychadena have the edge over Pelophylax because they are somewhat more tolerant of drier habitats. Sometimes they occur in huge densities, so that every step sends dozens springing away. Both can lay enormous clutches, many thousands of eggs, and in a particularly wet year, I could easily imagine a boom in froglet development that would cause a 'plague'. And because the frogs would be trying to disperse, but heading into habitat that is too dry for them to persist long-term, you would quickly have a lot of dead frogs.

You have to wonder about the competency of someone who teaches a frog. Although, come to think of it, if a frog can get a PhD maybe the frog is actually a competent medical practitioner.
