~ The Last Three Plagues ~

Locusts
And the Lord said to Moses,
"Stretch out your hand over Egypt
so that locusts will swarm over the land
and devour everything growing in the fields,
everything left by the hail."

Darkness
Then the Lord said to Moses,
"Stretch out your hand toward the sky
so that darkness will spread over Egypt --
darkness that be felt."

So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky,
and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.
No one could see anyone else
or leave his place for three days.
Yet all the Israelites had light in the places
where they lived.

Death of the Firstborn Forewarned
So Moses said, "This is what the Lord says:
'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.
Every firstborn son in Egypt will die,
from the first born son of Pharaoh,
who sits on the throne,
to the firstborn son of Pharaoh,
who sits on the throne,
to the firstborn son of the slave girl,
who is at her hand mill,
and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.
There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt --
worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.
But among the Israelites
not a dog will bark at any man or animal.'
Then you will know that the Lord
makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
All these officials of yours will come to Me,
bowing down before Me and saying,
'Go, you and all the people who follow you!'
After that I will leave."
Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

(Exodus 10:12, 21-23; 11:4-8)
