The Plagues of Egypt Pharaoh’s
choices against the Lord Moses trusted the Lord and
returned to Egypt.
Moses and his brother Aaron went
to Pharaoh and asked him to let the Israelites be free and leave
Egypt.
Pharaoh was angry and refused.
He forced the Israelites to work
even harder.
Because Pharaoh did not listen to
the Lord, the Egyptians were cursed with terrible plagues.
First, all the water in Egypt
turned into blood.
Moses asked Pharaoh again to let
the Israelites go, but Pharaoh said no.
Next, the Lord sent frogs to
Egypt.
They were everywhere.
Pharaoh said he would let the
Israelites go if the frogs went away.
The Lord made the frogs go away,
but Pharaoh didn’t let the Israelites go.
Then the Lord sent lice and flies.
Next, all of the Egyptians’ farm
animals died, but none of
the Israelites’ animals died.
Then the Egyptians got painful
sores on their bodies.
A great storm with hail and fire
also came to Egypt.
This caused terrible destruction.
Pharaoh still would not let the
Israelites go.
Then the Lord sent locusts, and
they ate all
the people’s food.
Then there were three days of
darkness.
During many of the plagues,
Pharaoh promised to let
the Israelites go if the plagues
would stop, but he lied every time.
After nine different plagues,
Pharaoh still would not let the Israelites go.
The Lord told Moses another
terrible plague would come.
The Lord guided and protected the
Israelites as they waited
for their freedom.
