In the biblical story, God used a series of plagues to demonstrate his power and persuade the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. After witnessing the devastating plagues firsthand, the Pharaoh eventually relented and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt.

He sent ten plagues, the last one, the death of the first-born, was the final straw that led to the Israelites being allowed to leave Egypt. These are recorded in Exodus chapters 7-12.

Why worship the ten plagues?

Egypt's Pharaoh, Ramses II, was very stubborn and harsh at times. God sent the ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let God's people go, the Israelites. Pharaoh wanted them to continue as slaves, and when Moses asked him to let God's people go, Ramses refused, saying I am god! ( Egyptian pharaohs at the time believed they were sons of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.) Since God was mindful of His covenant (promise, agreement) with Abraham and Sarah (He promised them many descendants, as countless as the stars, and a great land), God sent the plagues in order for Egypt's pharaoh to believe and let God's people go. God didn't prefer to do this, but it was the only way to get Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free, to the promised land.
