The Nile turned into blood. Hordes of toads flood the land. Lice infest humans and animals. Flocks of wild animals invade the city. Pets killed by the plague. Abscesses coated Egyptians. Hail of fire falls from heaven. And yet - "hardened Pharaoh's heart and he would not let the sons of Israel, and warned Gd Moshe."
