Concepts: amar (gentle speech) vs dabar (harsh speech); plague against animals, not humans (or dogs); crippling the economy of Egypt; order of the five species listed from least pure to pure; the “hand of the Lord;” a different plague for each species; ways to count the plagues (7+3, 3+3+4, 5+5); which livestock died in each plague?; free will and limited free will.
