What was the first of the Plagues of Egypt?
Thunderstorm of hail and fire
The Plagues of Egypt, also called the ten biblical plagues, were, according to the Bible, ten calamities that God inflicted upon Egypt to persuade the Pharaoh to release the ill-treated Israelites from slavery. The Pharaoh capitulated after the tenth plague, until which God had prevented him from being swayed, triggering the Exodus of the Hebrew people.
