Chp. 10 verses 1 - 15: Introduction, Hashem tells Moshe to go to Pharaoh. He says that He has hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants so that He can show them His signs. Also, so that the children of Israel will know for all generations that He is the L-rd. Moshe and Aaron go to Pharaoh and warn him about the plague of locusts that would devour his land. His servants tell him to let the men go and serve Hashem. Pharaoh asks them who would go out for this festival? They tell him everyone. He warns them about the sign of blood that his astrologers see for them in the desert. He accuses them of being disingenuous and drives them out. Hashem then tells Moshe to bring the plague of locusts. The east wind blows all night and in the morning the locust come and devour everything that the hail had spared.
