What 3 plagues did Moses not warn pharaoh of ahead of time?

The Book of Exodus tells of ten plagues that God inflicted on Egypt, although Lester L. Grabbe (Ancient Israel) says there is actually no period in the second half of the second millennium BCE when Egypt was subject to a series of plagues, death of children or physical disruption of the country:Water into blood - verses 7:14-25Frogs - 7:25-8:11Lice - 8:16-19Flies - 8:20-32Death of cattle - 9:1-7Boils - 9:8-11Hail and fire - 9:13-35Locusts - 10:1-20Darkness - 10:21-29Death of first bornOf these, Exodus says that Moses did not forewarn the pharaoh of the plagues of lice, boils and darkness.The Book of Deuteronomy also talks of the "plagues of Egypt," but appears to rely on a very different tradition. In this book, verses 7:15 and 28:60 seem to indicate that the plagues were remembered as having afflicted the Israelites, not the Egyptians. Presumably in this account, Moses had no need to warn the pharaoh.For more information, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/theology/moses-in-history-and-traditionhttp://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-exodus

How did the egyptians handle the 10 plagues of Egypt?

That is not stated. What is stated, is how Pharaoh and his advisers reacted to the plagues. In the majority of the plagues, Pharaoh hardened his own heart; and in the first two, even his advisers did the same. Only later did their attitude soften. See Exodus chapters 7-12.

The ten plages?

The Ten Plagues or "The 10 Wonders of God" were 10 events taking place in Egypt in the book of Exodus from the Bible. According to the Bible the 10 plagues were caused by God as punishment to Egypt for not letting the enslaved Jews be set free. According to the book of Exodus Moses (A shepherd sent by God) asked the pharoah of Egypt to let God's people go. The pharoah refused. So God sent these 10 plagues upon the Egyptians and their land: the plague of Blood, Frogs, Gnats, Flies, Boils, Hail and fire, Locusts, total darkness, and the final plague: every firstborn son in Egypt was killed by the Angel of Death. After the last of these the Pharoah finally let the Jews who had been slaves under Egypt free.
