Moses stated each plague before God sent it, and eventually the king let the Jews go because of how horrible the plagues were. The one plague that made him give up the Jews was the plague that made every family lose their 1st born son.
Answer:
Very probable is only a legend; documents doesn't exist.
Answer:
The Israelites were freed from Egyptian slavery as described in the Torah (see Exodus ch.1-14). After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.
Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus, which mentions a number of the Plagues ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.
Our traditions state that the Exodus was not a mere legend. The Torah is the best-attested document in the world and is accepted as factual by billions of people. No Hebrew copy of the Torah has ever been found to disagree with the text we use today. We have complete copies of the Torah going back one thousand years; and we have the names and details of the Sages who transmitted our traditions, in an unbroken chain, for well over three thousand years.
"Although critics contended that the Hebrew Bible is untrustworthy, time and time again, the archaeological record supports places, times, and events mentioned in Scripture." (Professor John Arthur Thompson, The Bible and Archaeology). The personal names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are names of the time and area mentioned in the Bible (ibid).
"One city after another, one civilization after another, one culture after another, who were known only from the Bible, have been restored to their place in ancient history through archaeology" (Prof. Gleason Archer, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction).
Archaeological finds, such as the Ugarit documents and those of Nuzu, Mari, Susa, Ebla, and Tel el-Amarna, have repeatedly caused the critics to retract their claims. The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer states: "In case after case where inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of excavations, and the condemnatory judgment of the Documentary theorists have been proved to be without foundation."
God gave Moses signs and wonders to perform so that the Israelite elders would know that he was sent by God (Exodus ch.3-4). Moses thus gained the backing of the elders and all the Israelites (Exodus ch.5). He demanded of Pharaoh to free the Israelites so that they could serve God (Exodus ch.5). When Pharaoh refused, God revealed to Moses that He was bringing plagues upon Egypt, telling him in advance when and what each plague would be (Exodus ch.7-12). After the tenth plague, Pharaoh relented completely and freed the Israelites (Exodus ch.12).
Mosses had been told by god to tell the Pharaoh to make free Israelis;however,the Pharaoh resist God's command as result firstborn sons of Egyptian had been executed by God's soldiers and Israelis had got free
According to tradition, the Egyptian Pharaoh freed the Israelites after his country had been stricken by plagues from God due to Pharaoh's intransigence (Exodus ch.12). Moses led the Israelites out (ibid.), at the command of God that he be their leader (Exodus ch.4 and ch.6).
Moses led the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12). See also:
