Commentary
Exodus 10 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Exodus, as it marks the beginning of the final three plagues that God sends upon Egypt. In this chapter, God instructs Moses to warn Pharaoh that a plague of locusts is coming, and that it will be so severe that it will consume all of the crops and vegetation in the land. Pharaoh's heart is hardened, and he refuses to let the Israelites go.
