Ten Plagues:
The First Plague (Exodus 7:14-24)
All of the water in Egypt - right from
water already in buckets and jars, to
ponds, canals, streams, even the Nile
River - turned to blood. Then all of the
fish of the river died, causing a terrible
stench.
The Second Plague (Exodus 8:1-15)
Frogs miraculously multiplied in
number, so many that the land was
infested with the normally aquatic
creatures. Even people's houses had them
inside.
The Third Plague (Exodus 8:16-19)
Vast swarms of gnats tormented people
and animals.
The Fourth Plague (Exodus 8:20-32)
Vast swarms of flies through the land,
spreading disease.

The Fifth Plague (Exodus 9:1-7)
Disease on the livestock - horses, donkeys,
camels, cattle, sheep and goats - but those of the
Israelites were unharmed.
The Sixth Plague (Exodus 9:8-12)
Festering boils on people and animals through
the land.
The Seventh Plague (Exodus 9:13-35)
Powerful hail storms that destroyed the standing
crops. The hail stones were so big that any
people or animals caught outside in the storm
were killed.
The Eighth Plague (Exodus 10:1-20)
Locusts in such great numbers that the ground
was covered with them. They devoured
everything that survived the hail storm.
The Ninth Plague (Exodus 10:21-29)
Darkness over the entire land for three days but the Israelites had light in Goshen.
The Tenth Plague (Exodus 11:1-10, 12:1-42)
Death of the firstborn. The Passover. Pharaoh let
the Israelites go. The Wilderness Journey began.
