The plagues of Egypt, as recorded in the Book of Exodus, represent a series of miraculous events through which God demonstrated His power and sovereignty over the natural world and the deities of Egypt. These plagues were divine judgments against Pharaoh and the Egyptians for their oppression of the Israelites, and they served to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites from bondage. The plagues are a testament to God's ability to intervene in human history and alter the course of nature to fulfill His purposes.

1. Water Turned to Blood: The first plague involved the transformation of the Nile River's waters into blood. This event is described in Exodus 7:20-21: "Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood. The fish in the Nile died, and the river reeked so badly that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood throughout the land of Egypt."

2. Frogs: The second plague brought an overwhelming infestation of frogs. As stated in Exodus 8:6: "So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt."

3. Gnats: The third plague involved gnats, which arose from the dust of the ground. Exodus 8:17 records this event: "They did this just as the LORD had commanded; Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt."

4. Flies: The fourth plague consisted of swarms of flies. In Exodus 8:24, it is written: "And the LORD did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials; throughout Egypt, the land was ruined by swarms of flies."

5. Livestock Disease: The fifth plague struck the Egyptian livestock with a severe disease. Exodus 9:6 states: "And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died."

6. Boils: The sixth plague afflicted the Egyptians with painful boils. As described in Exodus 9:10: "So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on men and beasts."

7. Hail: The seventh plague brought a devastating hailstorm. Exodus 9:23-24 recounts: "So Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. The hail fell and lightning continued flashing through it. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation."

8. Locusts: The eighth plague involved a swarm of locusts that consumed the land. In Exodus 10:13-15, it is recorded: "So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD sent an east wind across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts. They invaded all the land of Egypt and settled in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again."

9. Darkness: The ninth plague brought a palpable darkness over Egypt. Exodus 10:22 describes: "So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days."

10. Death of the Firstborn: The final and most severe plague was the death of the firstborn in Egypt. Exodus 12:29 states: "Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock."

These plagues were not only acts of judgment but also served to demonstrate the futility of the Egyptian gods and the supreme authority of the God of Israel. Each plague systematically dismantled the Egyptians' reliance on their deities and natural resources, ultimately leading to the liberation of the Israelites.Numbers 16:46-50
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
