ANSWER:
a. The final plague in Egypt during the Exodus.
EXPLANATION:
Passover memorialises the story of the Israel people’s exodus from ancient Egypt, that is, the freedom from slavery by the ancient Egypt. Passover is considered a very crucial sacred festival of the Jews. Passover is mainly the liberation of the Israeli children who were taken out of Egypt by Moses.
Accordingly Moses was commanded by God to free his people from slavery, however when Mosses approached the Pharaoh and requested him to free the Israel people from slavery, the Pharaoh refused, God unleashed ten plagues on the Egyptians, comprising boils, hailstorms, 3-days of darkness,diseased livestock, turning the River Nile red with blood, and finishing with the killing of every first-born son by an revenging angel.
However, the Israelis marked the door frames of their houses with lamb’s blood so that the revenging angel would recognise and “Passover” each Israeli’s household. Petrified of more punishment, the Egyptians convinced their ruler to free the Israelis, and Moses hurriedly took them away from Egypt.
The pharaoh later changed his mind, and send his soldiers to bring back the former slaves. While the Egyptian army approached the escaping Jews near the Red Sea, a miracle happened, where God caused the sea to divide and allowed Moses and his people to cross without harm, then closed the passage and drowned the Egyptians.
