What was the tenth and last plague that the Lord brought against Egypt?

The tenth plague was the death of the firstborn, where God struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon and even the firstborn of all the livestock. This plague finally convinced Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave Egypt.


What was the FIRST plague God sent to the Egyptians?

All the plagues were designed to discredit the pagan God's of Egypt.The first plague was the turning of the Nile into blood. This disgraced Egypt's Nile god 'Hapi', and destroyed the fish, some of which were worshiped and even mummified by the Egyptians. (Exodus 7:19-21)

What is the timespan of the 10 plagues?

Considering the time when Moses and Aaron first meet with Pharaoh to the leaving on Passover daylight portion, some have estimated this period to be about 50 days in total. You may read about this time in Exodus 7 thru 11. When considering the plagues, the above estimate takes into account the time of announcement of each, the time it would take to cover the vast area and the one day afterwards when Moses meets with Pharaoh who claims he sinned and asked for the plague to be lifted. Each of these 10 plagues where chosen to show all that the gods of Egypt, which included Pharaoh (10th plague) where no match for the God of Creation. Stone cannot triumph over the living God.
