There were ten plagues sent to Egypt, as listed in Exodus chapters 7 - 12.

1. Blood - Aaron strikes the Nile River (Exodus 7:20) and it [and other contained water sources] turns to blood.

2. Frogs - Aaron stretches his hand over the river (Exodus 8:2) and a plague of frogs descends upon Egypt. Some commentators make note of the inconsistency between the singular "frog" and the plural "frogs" in the biblical text.

3. Gnats - Aaron strikes the dust of the earth (Exodus 8:13) and a plague of gnats descends upon Egypt.

4. Flies - No action on Moses or Aaron's part is noted here. (Exodus 8:17-20)

5. Cattle Disease - No action on Moses or Aaron's part is noted here. (Exodus 9:1-7)

6. Boils - Moses throws dust in the air, resulting in skin boils and lesions among the Egyptians (Exodus 9:10)

7. Hail - Moses stretches his hand to the sky, and hail (fiery hail?) began to fall. (Exodus 9:23)

8. Locusts - Moses stretches his hand over the earth, and a plague of locusts begins (Exodus 10:13)

9. Darkness - Moses stretches his hand toward heaven, and darkness begins (Exodus 10:22)

10. Death of the Firstborn - Moses issues a warning to Pharaoh, but no action is noted in the timing of the plague's beginning.

From plague 4-9, the residences of the Israelites were spared as a whole. But for the 10th plague, each Israelite household had to willingly set itself apart by marking their doorposts.

None. Moses was raised by Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus ch.2), but never himself served as king of Egypt. It was Joseph, a few generations earlier, who was second-in-command of Egypt (Genesis 41) under the Pharaoh (or Pharaohs) of his time, from 1531 to 1451 BCE according to traditional chronology.

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.

Why did God send the frogs upon Egypt?

God sent ten plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12), not only the plague of frogs. The purpose of the plagues was to impress upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians that God is the Boss (Exodus 7:5) and that the Israelites must be freed in order to serve Him (Exodus 7:26).The K'li Yakar commentary writes that, since the Egyptians worshiped the Nile, God symbolically trounced their false belief by making the Nile a source of anguish in the first two plagues. Also, since Pharaoh refused to recognize the voice of God (Exodus 5:2), He forced Pharaoh to listen to the constant croaking of the frogs (and later the unnaturally loud thunder during the hailstorms (Exodus 9:28) (K'li Yakar).


Why worship the ten plagues?

Egypt's Pharaoh, Ramses II, was very stubborn and harsh at times. God sent the ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let God's people go, the Israelites. Pharaoh wanted them to continue as slaves, and when Moses asked him to let God's people go, Ramses refused, saying I am god! ( Egyptian pharaohs at the time believed they were sons of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.) Since God was mindful of His covenant (promise, agreement) with Abraham and Sarah (He promised them many descendants, as countless as the stars, and a great land), God sent the plagues in order for Egypt's pharaoh to believe and let God's people go. God didn't prefer to do this, but it was the only way to get Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free, to the promised land.
