How many tokens did Allah give Moses?


Nine

We gave unto Moses nine tokens. Quran 17:101


Now you're probably wondering what these nine signs were. Well here they are, according to Quran-islam.org

  1. The staff turning into a serpent Quran 7:107
  2. Moses's hand becoming white 7:108
  3. Years of famine 7:130
  4. Pharoah was afraid of Moses (or something like that) 7:135
  5. The flood? 7:133a
  6. Locusts 7:133b
  7. Lice (or "vermin") 7:133c
  8. Frogs 7:133d
  9. Blood 7:133e

But it looks to me like Quran-Islam.org is just making most of these up to match the number 9 in Quran 17:101.

What flood was Allah referring to in verse 7:133? Noah's flood? The drowning of Pharaoh's army during the Exodus? Or what?

Christians say there were only three signs given to Moses: The staff to snake, the white hand, and the water to blood magic tricks.
