The document summarizes several passages from Exodus that describe the plagues God brought against Egypt. It discusses the biblical accounts of the plagues of gnats, flies, livestock disease, and hail.

The document notes that during these events the magicians recognized "the finger of God" at work but Pharaoh's heart remained hardened in his refusal to let Israel go.

be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 choosing rather to
endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy
the passing pleasures of sin; 26 considering the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was
looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing
the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is
unseen. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of
the blood, so that he who destroyed the first-born might not
