Long ago the Israelites were slaves in the land of Egypt. Pharoah, Egypt's ruler, was very cruel to the Israelites. Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "Let my people go." Pharaoh said, "No!" Yahuah told Moses, "Because Pharaoh's heart is hardened, I'm going to send plagues to Egypt." Yahuah sent 10 plagues to Pharoah and the Egyptians. During this time, the Israelites experienced the very first Passover. Through the plagues, Yahuah showed Pharoah and the Egyptians His power, and eventually, Pharoah let the Israelites go to worship Yahuah.
