Locusts come in the tenth chapter. The officials of Egypt try to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites. He wants the men to go alone. That will not do because they have no intention of returning.

Three days of darkness is next and following it the Jews can go worship God if they leave the cattle and sheep behind. They refuse and Pharaoh promises to kill Moses and Aaron if they ever come to him again. The tenth and final plague will come next.

The tenth plague is discussed in Exodus 11. The firstborn of all humans and animals will die after midnight. The Jews will not be affected. The Egyptians are giving jewels and gold to them. This will be the plague that puts fear into the hearts of all nations. The rest of the plan tomorrow.

Exodus 12 tells us how this event of the Passover changes everything for the Israelites. The calendar is changed. Each family will sacrifice a perfect lamb. This is a prophecy about the life and death of Christ. The ceremony established now is followed by Jesus and His followers.

The blood and unleavened bread are used in the last supper. The meaning of these symbols is very important. Pharaoh sends for Moses and Aaron and throws all the Jews out of the country. The plot thickens.
