Parashat Bo – Summary

Introduction

  • Parashat Bo integrates both narrative and halakhic material related to the Exodus.
  • Chapter 10 describes the Plagues of Locust and Darkness and how, in their wake, Paroh slowly begins to yield.
  • In Chapter 11, Moshe warns Paroh of the impending Plague of the Firstborn.
  • Chapter 12 details the laws of the Paschal Sacrifice and the concurrent Plague of the Firstborn. Together, these lead up to the Exodus.
  • The Exodus is followed in Chapter 13 by the transmission of several commandments designed to commemorate the event for future generations.
