Exodus - 7:1 - 12:35 The Scroll Covers The Topics - The Scroll Covers The Topics - The Ten Plagues on Egypt - Moses Told What to Expect -The Staff Becomes a Serpent - Preparations for the Final Plague - Final Reassurance - The Passover Described - Passover Preparations - The Final Plague - Pharaoh begs Moses to leave Egypt with Israel & Much More The scroll in a nutshell: Moses and Aaron repeatedly come before Pharaoh to demand in the name of G-d, "Let My people go, so that they may serve Me in the wilderness." Pharaoh repeatedly refuses. Aaron 's staff turns into a snake and swallows the magic sticks of the Egyptian sorcerers. G-d then sends a series of plagues upon the Egyptians. The waters of the Nile turn to blood; swarms of frogs overrun the land; lice infest all men and beasts. Hordes of wild animals invade the cities, a pestilence kills the domestic animals, painful boils afflict the Egyptians. For the seventh plague, fire and ice combine to descend from the skies as a devastating hail. Still, "the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he would not let the children of Israel go; as G-d had said to Moses." The last three of the Ten Plagues are visited on Egypt: a swarm of locusts devours all the crops and greenery; a thick, palpable darkness envelops the land; and all the firstborn of Egypt are killed at the stroke of midnight of the 15th of the month of Nissan . God commands the first mitzvah to be given to the people of Israel : to establish a calendar based on the monthly rebirth of the moon . The Israelites are also instructed to bring a " Passover offering" to G-d: a lamb or kid is to be slaughtered and its blood sprinkled on the door posts and lintel of every Israelite home, so that G-d should pass over these homes when He comes to kill the Egyptian firstborn. The roasted meat of the offering is to be eaten that night together with matzah (unleavened bread) and Bitter Herbs.

The death of the firstborn finally breaks Pharaoh's resistance and he literally drives the Children of Israel from his land.
