God cursed Egypt with ten plagues of water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn. Every time Moses would go to Pharaoh and ask him to let Israel go but he refused. It is important that God will punish those who oppose his people. -
The last plague was the death of every firstborn son. God told the Israelites to put lamb's blood on their door frames so the angel of death would pass over their house. This is important because it shows that God protects those who trust in him. -
