General Overview: In this week's Parsha, Bo, the last three plagues –
Locust, Darkness, and Death of the Firstborn – are inflicted upon the
Egyptians. Moshe commands the Israelites concerning the Paschal Offering
and the laws of the seder. After the final plague, Pharaoh
unconditionally releases the Israelites from his land.

Summary: Plague Eight: At G‑d's behest, Moshe and Aaron went to Pharaoh
and delivered a warning: "How long will you refuse to humble yourself
before me? Let My people go so that they can worship me!" They informed
Pharaoh that if he does not allow the Israelites to go, Egypt will be
attacked by a plague of locust. After Moshe and Aaron left, Pharaoh's
servants begged him to allow the Israelites to leave. "Don't you yet
know that Egypt is lost?" they argued. Pharaoh called back Moshe and
Aaron and offered to allow the Israelites to leave—provided that they
leave behind their children as security. Moshe and Aaron refused the
offer, and Pharaoh stubbornly refused to allow the Israelites to go.
