Best Answer

The children of Israel were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and god brought them out of there with a

strong hand and an outstretched arm. If he had not brought those ancestors out of Egypt, then

today's Jews, as well as their descendants, would remain enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt. That's why

Jews today, even those with the greatest wisdom and insight, the oldest ones, with the most advanced

education in the history and traditions, still consider it a strong responsibility to narrate the story of

the Exodus from Egypt on the occasion of every Passover, and why the ones who elaborate on the

details of the narration are praised and admired.

Is there a rational and scientific explanation for the ten plagues of Egypt in the Book of Exodus?

Archaeology is a science, and archaeologists say that the ten plagues never happened. So the rational and scientific explanation is that there never were the ten plagues of Egypt. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened [allowing for those scholars who accept no evidence contrary to a literal reading of the Bible].

The Israelites emigrated from Canaan to Egypt because of a famine (Genesis 46).

The plagues compelled the Egyptians to permit the Israelites to leave Egypt (Exodus 12).
