These are some of the gods that were dealt a major defeat during the freeing of the Israelites in the time of Moses & the 10 plagues brought about by Jehovah God.

1.Nile and other waters turned to blood. Nile-god Hapi disgraced

2 Frogs. Frog-goddess Heqt powerless to prevent it

3 Dust turned to gnats. Thoth, lord of magic, could not help the Egyptian magicians

4 Gadflies on all Egypt except Goshen where Israel dwelt. No god was able to prevent it—not even Ptah, creator of the universe, or Thoth, lord of magic

5 Pestilence on livestock. Neither sacred cow-goddess Hathor nor Apis the bull could prevent this plague

6 Boils. Healer deities Thoth, Isis, and Ptah unable to help

7 Thunder and hail. Exposed the impotence of Reshpu, controller of lightning, and Thoth, god of rain and thunder

8 Locusts. This was a blow to the fertility-god Min, protector of crops

9 Three days of darkness. Ra, the preeminent sun-god, and Horus, a solar god, disgraced

10 Death of the firstborn including Pharaoh’s, who was considered to be a god incarnate. Ra (Amon-Ra), sun-god and sometimes represented as a ram, was unable to impede it"
Exodus 8-15
