God brought ten plagues upon Egypt right before the Israelites exited from Egypt, right?  Well, that is not quite how the Psalmist remembers it.  What can we learn from the inconsistent reports of the ten plagues as recorded in different places in our Hebrew Bible? You can follow along with this podcast by downloading Rabbi Markose’s source sheet and transcript.
