The Ten Plagues of Egypt

The plagues were a series of events described in the Bible, in the Book of Exodus, where God sent plagues to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
The first plague was frogs, which infested the land, causing Pharaoh to promise freedom but then renege on his word.
The second plague was bugs, emerging from the dust, causing misery, and Pharaoh again went back on his promise.
The third plague was wild animals, except in the province of Goshen where the Israelites lived, but Pharaoh again refused to free the Israelites.
The fourth plague was pestilence, killing most of the Egyptian domestic animals, while the Israelites' animals remained unharmed, yet Pharaoh still resisted.
The fifth plague was boils, causing great pain and suffering in Egypt.
The sixth plague was hail, which destroyed everything except in the land of Goshen, prompting Pharaoh to acknowledge his sins, but he still did not let the Israelites go.
The seventh plague was locusts, which caused complete ruin upon Egypt, but even after relief, Pharaoh refused to liberate the Israelites.
The eighth plague was darkness, enveloping all of Egypt except for the land of Goshen, and some assimilated Jews died during this time.
Each time Pharaoh relented, he would renege on his promise to free the Israelites, despite the suffering caused by the plagues.
The plagues eventually led to the Exodus, where the Israelites were finally freed from slavery in Egypt.
