| And G-d said to Moshe (Moses): Come to Pharoah, as I have burdened his heart and those of his servants, in order to display my signs in his midst. | Vayomer Ado-shem el Moshe: Bo el Par’oh, ki ani hikhbadeti at libo ve’et leiv avadav lema’an shiti ototai eile bekirbo. | וַיֹּאמֶר ה’ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה: בֹּא אֶל־פַּרְעֹה כִּי־אֲנִי הִכְבַּדְתִּי אֶת־לִבּוֹ וְאֶת־לֵב עֲבָדָיו לְמַעַן שִׁתִי אֹתֹתַי אֵלֶּה בְּקִרְבּוֹ׃ |
Torah Thoughts
Parashat Bo recounts the last three of the ten plagues, including the tragic death of the firstborn. Following, we are told how to offer the Pesach sacrifice, that the month of the exodus marks the beginning of our calendar, and we are instructed how to observe the Passover holiday moving forward, instructions we still follow to this day.
