The traditional number of ten plagues is not actually mentioned in Exodus, and other sources differ; Psalms 78 and 105 seem to list only seven or eight plagues and order them differently. [1] It appears that originally there were only seven, to which were added the third, sixth, and ninth, bringing the count to ten. [27]: 83–84
Genesis 12:10–20 tells of Abram moving to Egypt to escape a period of famine in Canaan. Abram worries that the unnamed pharaoh will kill him and take away his wife Sarai, so Abram tells her to say she is his sister. They are eventually summoned to meet the pharaoh, but God sends plagues against the pharaoh because of his intention to marry Sarai.
The prophecy parallels one of the Ten Plagues against Egypt in the Book of Exodus (Ex. 10:21–29). [3] The Apocalypse of John also mentions a plague of unnatural darkness as an effect of the fifth vial ( Revelation 16:10 : "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness").
