The Ten Plagues

In the context of the Exodus story, in which God liberates the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, God wreaks a process of ten plagues on Pharaoh and the Egyptians as Pharaoh repeatedly refuses to let the Israelites go. The Ten Plagues, which appear in Exodus chapters 7 through 12, are: water turned to blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, pestilence of livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and death of the firstborn. They are recounted and discussed as part of the Passover seder.
