• 3. Gnats: Dust turned into gnats, infesting people and animals.
• 4. Flies: Swarms of flies plagued the Egyptians, but left the Israelites unharmed.
• 5. Livestock Disease: A severe disease killed the Egyptian livestock, while the Israelites' animals remained healthy.
• 6. Boils: Painful boils broke out on Egyptians and their animals.
• 7. Hail: A devastating hailstorm destroyed crops and caused significant damage.
• 8. Locusts: Swarms of locusts consumed any remaining crops and vegetation.
• 9. Darkness: A thick darkness covered Egypt for three days, except where the Israelites lived.
• 10. Death of the Firstborn: The final plague resulted in the death of every firstborn son in Egypt, prompting Pharaoh to finally let the Israelites go.
