The Plagues of Egypt (Biblical Hebrew: מכות מצרים), in the account of the Book of Exodus, are ten disasters inflicted on biblical Egypt by the God of Israel (Yahweh) in order to convince the Pharaoh to emancipate the enslaved Israelites, each of them confronting Pharaoh and one of his Egyptian gods;[1] they serve as "signs and marvels" given by God to answer Pharaoh's taunt that he does not know Yahweh: "The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD".[2]: 117 The Ten Plagues are recited during the Passover Seder.[3]
The consensus of modern scholars is that the Pentateuch does not give an accurate account of the origins of the Israelites and that, while a small group of proto-Israelites may have originated from Egypt, it did not happen in the massive way the Bible describes.[4][5]: 81 [6]: 6–7 Some scholars have suggested that the story of the Ten Plagues might have been inspired by natural phenomena like epidemics, although these theories are considered uncertain.[7][8]
