Things aren’t looking too great for the Jews in Egypt. They are enslaved, forced to work hard and all boys born are supposed to be killed. But Moshe is saved, rescued by the daughter of Pharaoh as he floats in the Nile. God speaks to Moshe and sends him to save the Jews.
Moshe returns to Egypt and together with Aharon confronts Pharaoh. After Pharaoh denies Moshe’s requests to let the Jews leave Egypt, God sends down plagues on Egypt.
