[Music] now we're going to start the plagues actually the beginning of today's does not begin the plagues it begins with motion iron showing some signs to power the snakes being changed into sticks and back into snakes and back into sticks and something else happening before the 10 plagues as well one thing you must know if you're doing the power shield right now schneidermaker none of the plagues have the same sequence occurring it might seem that way when you're reading it quickly but if you slow down you'll notice differences and i'll just give you a couple to point out sometimes moshe goes by himself and starts talking sometimes moshe and iron sometimes they go to the palace of where power is sometimes they go to the river where he is obviously there's gonna be famous ones sometimes they don't give them a warning at all as well the ending of each plague ends differently as well no plague seems to end similarly sometimes they give power a request when do you want to end it how do you want to end it sometimes parry calls them to end it sometimes it ends automatically and shockingly some of the plagues don't seem to end at all so as we're reading these parachutes although it seems you could superimpose all of them on top of each other and have a song no no no let my people go that is not true necessarily they all change at all times the terror is not repeating almost any event similar exactly sometimes it's similar but not exactly as well as what we should point out that one of almost multiple concepts in each plague are also different that don't apply every single time so for a quick example let's say we're going to begin with dom his blood dam according to summit russia not all but rashford say that paro himself was not afflicted by dham that means the entire egyptian nation couldn't get a drink of water they were only drinking blood or buying it from the jews to make it into water as rashi will say but the actual concept of pari himself in his home if you read the silken very carefully it seems like he was not affected at all and each one of the plagues is going to be some slight difference that only affected that plague as opposed to all the other so the first plague is going to be blood but you're going to see power is going to ignore it and it's going to say the fish died as well we have to wonder why is that part of the plague is that not part of the plague as well we have to know when we look at the plagues there's always multiple statements are they all part of it here it says that the water turned to blood and the fish start is that a second thing is that a first thing if it's blood shouldn't the fish automatically die fish don't live in war then blood they live in water so all of these little things when you go slowly through it you will find fascinating questions not always will round one schneidermaker give you the correct answer but start thinking of answers yourself when you're walking on the street afterward make the schneidermaker carry throughout your day think of these questions and hopefully with hashem's help you will find good answers the second plague is going to be frogs which as we know we learned until today laws from it the frogs themselves were not told specifically what to do they were told to bother the egyptians some of the frogs went on top of the oven and some of them went into the oven and they killed themselves and later on a couple thousand years later i know exactly amount of time michelle bazaar jumped into a fire to sacrifice themselves for god based on the frogs which means we have lessons today even though these seem like foreign concepts a long time ago and all these stories they actually are something that are very applicable for us today there's actually a pretty long aliyah but if you know yourself if you enjoy the story part of it with the interesting of it of the plagues and stuff you can find many nuances that you'll notice again so even the way paris discusses what hashem is to mush and iron changes as the plagues go so go a little slower try to review it a couple times and you'll start picking things up if you can write down your questions and before you know it you'll have an entire safe or ready to go to print thank you you
