The third section of the Book of Exodus opens as G d tells Moses to come (Bo, in Hebrew) to Pharaoh in order to announce the eighth plague. Two more plagues follow, after which the Jews are finally released from slavery and sent forth from Egypt. G d tells the people to observe the anniversary of the Exodus as the holiday of Passover.

Daily Quote
Tree, o' tree, with what can I bless you? That your fruit should be sweet? Your fruit is sweet. That your shade should be plentiful? Your shade is plentiful. That a stream of water should run beneath you? Water runs beneath you. The one thing left for me to bless you is: May all the plantings from your seed be like you!
–Talmud, Taanit 5b
