While Parshat Shemot sets the stage for the redemption and introduces us to all the players in the drama, the actual process of redemption begins in Parshat Va’eira, and seven of the ten plagues are recorded in this parsha. A pattern is established: Moshe Rabennu goes to Pharaoh, asks that Bnei Yisroel be granted permission to worship their God, Pharaoh refuses, Hashem brings a plague onto Egypt, Pharaoh asks Moshe Rabennu to lift the plague, Hashem accedes to Moshe Rabennu’s prayer on Egypt’s behalf and ends the plague, and Pharaoh again refuses to let Bnei Yisroel go.
