Why is the 10th plague different from the others?

[searchinmyroots]

Just learned the Hebrew word used for plague in the 10th plague is not the same as the Hebrew word used for plague for the other 9.

And to make things even more interesting, that same Hebrew word used for the 10th plague only appears one other time in the 5 Books of Moses. In Leviticus 13.

Hmmm, what is the connection?

Rabbi Fohrman has an idea that connects the dots!

[RabbiO]

Take a look at Genesis 12:17 and tell me what word you find there.

As RabbiO mentioned see Genesis 12:17 (also see Lev 13:2 and 65 other ocurrences in Lev & Det for נגע)

Okay thanks, let me see what Rabbi Fohrman says about that and why he said it is only mentioned in one other place.
