Jews and Egypt – backstory of the tenth plague

 According to the Bible, ten plagues of Egypt are God’s punishments to Egyptians for not letting the Jews to leave Egypt. Moses and his assistant Aaron had gone to Pharaoh with the plead to let the Jews into desert for three days in order to perform sacrificial rituals according to their beliefs. They were hoping to escape Egypt but Pharaoh was suspecting a ruse and did not permit it. For that, God was sending various calamities upon  Egyptians, and after the tenth plague they finally conceded and asked the Jews to go.
