Passover

When the Jewish people where enslaved in Jerusalem, Moses came to the Pharaoh as God had commanded and told him to free the Jews.  After several opportunities for Pharaoh to comply God told Moses to put sacrificial blood on the homes of the Jews.  Any home without said blood on their home suffered the loss of their first born.  Realizing that the Jews needed to be set free Pharaoh complied and the Jews set off into the wilderness of the desert.  The egyptians then went after the Jews again so Moses parted the Red Sea and The Jews were able to escape but when the Egyptian Chariots  attempted to follow suit they were drowned in seas.
