During the Exodus, the Pharaoh is the ruler of Egypt who opposes Moses and the Israelites' departure from slavery. Traditionally identified as Ramses II in many interpretations, the Pharaoh's hardened heart leads to a series of plagues inflicted upon Egypt by God, ultimately culminating in the Exodus of the Israelites. His refusal to let the people go signifies the struggle between divine will and human authority.
God brought many plagues upon Pharaoh's country (Exodus ch.7-12).

Its a literal plague poured out upon earth by God. You will notice this and the other plagues in Revelations all match up with the exact same plagues brought upon Egypt, while Moses argued with Pharoah over letting the Jewish people leave Egypt.

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.

In the biblical story, God used a series of plagues to demonstrate his power and persuade the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. After witnessing the devastating plagues firsthand, the Pharaoh eventually relented and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt.
The Israelites emigrated from Canaan to Egypt because of a famine (Genesis 46). At first they were respected and were under the protection of Joseph, a powerful Israelite; but later, the Egyptians enslaved them under a pretext (Exodus ch.1), and God brought ten plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12), in accord with an ancient promise He had made to Abraham (Genesis 15). The plagues compelled the Egyptians to permit the Israelites to leave Egypt (Exodus 12).
The plague of blood in the Bible lasted for seven days, during which time the water in Egypt turned to blood making it undrinkable. This was the first of the ten plagues brought upon Egypt by Moses.
