Pharaoh
Exodus 5-10
Plagues Upon Egypt
(1.) The river Nile was turned into blood, and
the fish died, and the river stank, so that the
Egyptians loathed to drink of the river (Exodus
7:14-25).
(2.) The plague of frogs (Exodus 8:1-15).
(3.) The plague of lice "out of the dust of the
land" (Exodus 8:16-19).
Plagues Upon Egypt
(4.) The plague of flies Exodus 8:21-24. Pharaoh
makes proposals for Israel to worship.
Land of Goshen set apart. Exodus 8:22
Exodus 9:4,6,26; 10:23; 11:7; 12:13
That “thou mayest know that I am Jehovah in the
midst of the earth.”

More Plagues Upon Egypt
(5.) The murrain (Exodus 9:1-7), or epidemic pestilence
which carried off vast numbers of cattle in the field.
Warning was given of its coming.
(6.) The sixth plague, of "boils and blains," like the
third, was sent without warning (Exodus 9:8-12). It is
called (Deuteronomy 28:27) "the botch of Egypt," in
the A.V. but in R.V., "the boil of Egypt." "The
magicians could not stand before Moses" because of
it.
Plagues Upon Egypt
(7.) The plague of hail, with fire and thunder
(Exodus 9:13-33). Warning was given of its
coming. (cf. Psalms 18:13; 105:32-33).
(8.) The plague of locusts, which covered the
whole face of the earth, so that the land was
darkened with them (Exodus 10:12-15).
Warning was given before this plague came.
Plagues Upon Egypt
(9.) After a short interval the plague of darkness
succeeded that of the locusts; and it came without
any special warning (Exodus 10:21-29). The
darkness covered "all the land of Egypt" to such an
extent that "they saw not one another." It did not,
however, extend to the land of Goshen.
(10.) The last and most fearful of these plagues was
the death of the first-born of man and of beast
(Exodus 11:4,5; 12:29,30).
