What did pharaoh do in order to keep the israelites from having too many children?
To control the population of the Israelites, Pharaoh implemented a decree that required the Hebrew midwives to kill all male infants at birth while allowing female infants to live. He feared that the growing number of Israelites posed a threat to his power and security. When the midwives defied his orders, Pharaoh escalated the situation by commanding that all male Hebrew babies be thrown into the Nile River. This brutal policy was aimed at suppressing the Israelite population and maintaining Egyptian dominance.

How important was Moses to the Israelites?
The Israelites had been oppressed by the Egyptians for over 400 years. When God sent 10 plagues over Egypt, pharaoh let the Israelites go.......but not for long. He quickly changed his mind and pursued them. The Israelites were scared and asked, "Were there not enough graves in Egypt that the Lord will let us die in the desert?" Moses replied, "Stand firm and you will see the deliverance of the Lord today." Moses then parted the Red Sea and the Israelites went through on try ground. When Pharaoh's army tried to cross, God closed the waters and Pharaohs whole army drowned. They were able to see the deliverance of the Lord.......thats why it's such a big event. (I had to study Exodus for over 6 months......thats why I knew the answer!!) ~Bible Quizzer~

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.
How did the Pharaoh view the Hebrews in general?
Pharaoh claimed that the Israelite birthrate posed a potential threat to Egypt (Exodus ch.1), despite the Israelites being a quiet and loyal element among the populace.More about the events in Egypt: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 papyri (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.See also:Archaeology and the Hebrew Bible
Why did Moses order the killing of the Midianite Children?
I will never believe that god told the Israelites to kill the Midianite Children and take the virgin Midianite girls for their own selfish pleasures. That's just like believing that those that kill in the name of Allah and is killed will go to heaven and be granted 100 virgins. But why did moses still order the killing of the Midianite Children?
