Parashat Bo/ParashahSummary

Parashat Bo – Summary

Introduction

• Parashat Bo integrates both narrative and halakhic material.
• The first portion of the parashah describes the Plagues of Locust and Darkness and how, in their wake, Paroh slowly begins to yield.
• The next section details the laws of the Paschal Sacrifice and the concurrent Plague of the Firstborn. Together, these lead up to the Exodus.
• The Exodus is then followed by the transmission of several commandments designed to commemorate the event for future generations.
