Bo: https://youtu.be/np4LBBZZXF4
God tells Moses and Aaron to return again to Pharaoh, threatening a plague if he refuses to let the Israelites go. This time Pharaoh says that the men may go, but not the women or children. Once again, God inflicts a plague (of locusts), and once again, Pharaoh begs forgiveness and an end to the plague. This scenario is repeated with the plague of darkness.

The final plague, death of all-first born Egyptian people and cattle, is intended to make Pharaoh drive the Israelites from the land altogether. God instructs all households in the community of Israel to offer a “Passover sacrifice” of a lamb, and to leave blood on their doorposts so that their first-born will be spared. They are told to commemorate the occasion as an annual festival, including the eating of unleavened bread for seven days.

This time, Pharaoh does indeed order the Israelites to leave the land, even taking their flocks and herds. They also take with them unleavened dough and objects of silver and gold that were “borrowed” from the Egyptians or given by them as gifts.
Through Moses, God clarifies the “Passover law” by which circumcision will be required for all males who wish to be treated as citizens and not strangers. Moses also tells the Israelites that, in remembrance of God’s freeing them from Egypt, they must set apart all first-born cattle and they must redeem, and not sacrifice, all first-born male children.
