There was a rabbinic/talmudic scholar named Rashi who even suggested that:
צפרדע אחת היתה והיו מכין אותה והיא מתזת נחילים נחילים זהו מדרשו
There was only one frog, and when the Egyptians would beat it with sticks, swarms of frogs would ricochet from it.
Not just a scholar; Rashi is arguably the most important Jewish theologian, the Thomas of Aquinas of Judaism.
Man imagine if aquinas had said that the plague of frogs was actually just one giant kaiju frog or like the camels that try to pass through the eyes of needles are just really tiny or something
Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my rag time gal. Send me a kiss by wire, baby by hearts on fire. If you refuse me honey you loose me, then you’ll be left alone, now baby come on and tell me I’m your own…

No, the jewish population is just really racist toward the bronze age proto-celtic peoples of france.
So it was a French bloke that went through and pillaged Egypt? You’re thinking about Napoleon
I thought it was a plague that hurt the poor little froggies 🐸
*It was quite a big frog, however, and got into the air ducts and kept everyone awake for weeks.
