“[ God ] sent upon them the fierceness of [ God ’ s ] anger , wrath , and fury , and trouble , a sending of messengers of evil . ' The fierceness of His anger ' [ corresponds to ] one ; ' wrath ' [ brings it to ] two ; ' and fury ' [ brings it to ] three ; ' and trouble ' [ brings it to ] four ; ' a sending of messengers of evil ' [ brings it to ] five . You can say from here that in Egypt , they were struck with fifty plagues and at the Sea , they were struck with two hundred and fifty plagues .”
