* Blood: All water in Egypt turned into blood. The only water around was from the Jews 2.
* Frogs: There are 2 opinions on how the frogs came, but one thing is for sure. The frogs got everywhere, but left the Jews alone. 3.

* Animal Plague: The animals (Domesticated and non) were infected with an unknown desease and killed all beats and farm animals. No humans were directly harmed. 6.
* Boils: Boils started appearing on the Egyptains. Jews were not effected. Pharoah was not warned of this plague. 7.
* Ice and fire hail: Balls of ice with fire inside them rained down on the Egyptians. The ice would explode on impact. This instance was contridictory to nature, but G-d did it anyways. 8.
* Locusts: Locusts swarmed over all Egypt, reducing it to a wasteland. 9.
* Darkness: The first 3 days, a fog went over Egypt. After, for 3 days the Egyptians couldn't move because the fog was so dense. The Jews could see in a small bubble around them. Pharoah was not warned of this plague. 10.
* Death of the Firstborn So, were the plagues justified? If G-d hardened the Pharoh's heart, was it fair to punish him and his people, especially the innocents? Did the Pharoh still have free will?
