The Story

This box (which is lighted internally) is divided into three scenes from Exodus. 

  • Top scene - Staff into serpent - "Let my people go!" 

  • Middle scene - Pharoh/Egypt experiencing the plagues, frogs, insects, blood, etc. 

  • Bottom scene - the burial chamber of Pharoh's first born. 

Not noted in the Old Testament is the terrible eleventh plague - if Pharoh did not free the Isrealites after the "death of the first born" a pyramid would have been dropped on him!!! 

The subtle meaning Ted hinted at with the 11th Plague was modeled after the Sword of Damocles.
