G-d informs Moshe that He Himself is making Pharoah stubborn against his own will for the sake of bringing more plagues.

Moshe brings the 8th plague, locusts, against Egypt.

Pharoah tells Moshe he can go sacrifice to his G-d, but only with the men. Everyone else must remain in Egypt.

Q: Moshe requests that the children come with them to participate in the services. What role do they play? They don’t participate in sacrificing animals!

Egypt is struck with wild beasts ravaging the land, a disease which wipes out Egyptian animals, painful boils, and powerful hail.

And yet, Pharoah does not let the Jews leave Egypt.

Q: How was Pharoah able to remain stubborn even after seeing 7 supernatural miracles before his very eyes?

Hashem gives Moshe insight regarding his divine names.

Hashem sends Moshe to Pharoah for the second time to tell him to send the Jews out of Egypt.

Pharoah refuses, and the first 3 plagues are sent upon Egypt: Blood, Frogs, and Lice.

Moshe returns to Egypt and asks Pharoah to let the Jews offer sacrifices for a few days outside of the land of Egypt (a ploy for them to escape).

Pharoah refuses, and makes the workload even more difficult for the Jews.

G-d continues to persuade Moshe to accept the mission of redeeming the Jews from Egypt.

Q: Is it possible that Moshe is defying G-d when he doesn’t immediately accept the job?

Moshe stumbles upon a burning bush on Har Sinai.

G-d introduces himself to Moshe and charges Moshe with the task of taking the Jews out of Egypt.

Moshe sees an Egyptian taskmaster beating a Jew and kills him.

Moshe is discovered to have killed the Egyptian man and flees to Midian.

There he gets married and has a son named Gershom.

G-d rewards the two Jewish midwives for not killing the baby boys with houses.

Pharoah enacts a new decree to kill all baby boys.

Moshe is born and is saved by the daughter of Pharoah.
