	I believe the 5th plague affected more than cattle. Sheep, goats etc, were also affected, so livestock is the best choice of word.

	@Adam, The word in the ancient text is debated as some form of "swarm" of either flies or beasts. I agree that beasts should be accepted, but flies is most definitely a common translation.

	i would argue that ten should accept "death of firstborn" or "death of the firstborn" and not just "firstborn." also, the plague was actually the death of ALL firstborn, not just egyptian, it just happens that the hebrews were able to protect themselves.

	Number seven should accept fire. I typed that so many times and nothing came up.

	What do you have to write in for #10? I wrote "death of firstborn" and it was not accepted but that is obviously the answer.

	littlegoldwoman:	Jan 25th, 2009 at 20:31 GMT		12 points
	Yeah 10 wont take "Death of firstborn" but will take firstborn. Also agreed that five should allow "cattle". I missed 2.

	Dang it ... I missed gnats. I forgot that there were two separate plagues for flies and gnats!

	It won't take "all water turned to blood" or "water to blood" or "water/blood" or "water turned to blood" for number one, but it accepts "nile"?

	What happened to the lesser-known eleventh plague of hip-hop?

	emusonparole:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 17:37 GMT		11 points
	It didn't take "death of first borns" "death of firstborns" "death of firstborn children"...what's up with that?

	Jakkanunanni:	Feb 26th, 2009 at 16:47 GMT		5 points
	Too specific for the required answers. Death of firstborn wasn't accepted nor was cattle.

	Plague 11: No sporcle.

	martin:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 02:19 GMT		-1 points
	i thought there was a plague of wild beasts and isnt flies and lice/gnats be considered the same? plus also the cattle complaint

	Babomomebeo:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 01:57 GMT		6 points
	I've definitely never heard of flies as an alternate translation for beasts. maybe you could accept both flies and wild beasts, since both translations exist evidently. and i think cattle disease should be acceptable for livestock; even if the plague was more general than just cattle, that's how it's commonly referred to.

	Mike- same with me. I knew there was locusts and more bugs. I forgot it was two more bugs (though comments now say "beasts"). Matt- Wow at it accepting "Nile." I don't think I had a big problem getting that one to pop, though. Also- I tried "rain of fire" so many different ways it is ridiculous. Everything else I was okay with.

	I missed friggin' darkness! WOW! And why isn't fire acceptable? Not cool :P

	fire was not the 7th plague any way you slice it. just fire means God could have spread fire through egypt. the fact that fire was attached to the ice that normally constitutes hail was just a way for the hail to be even more awesome, and for pharaoh to know it was God he was dealing with. "fire," however, was not the plague.

	refwen:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 19:11 GMT		1 point
	all they need to do is open the answers to accept anything close to the one wanted (ex. fire for Plague of hail mixed with Fire)

	Ryan:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 00:23 GMT		3 points
	yeah, 10 still doesn't "death of firstborn" and for the record, in the hagadah, (the book that is read on passover, forgive my spelling), it wasn't simply the death of the first born of every egyptian family, but it was specifically the death of the first born SON. Also, the "swarm" that sporcle interpreted as flies happens to be interpreted as WILD BEASTS in the hagadah. So the idea that this quiz was included in a tagline about passover is inexcusable. You guys at sporcle usually do an awesome job with these quizzes, but this one needs some serious revision.

	this needs a lot of help---totally not in order.

	@sparky, Hilary Swank mentions this in The Reaping, which i have to say (along with Prince of Egypt) is how I got 8/10!

	Why do you have to be so specific with the death of the first born. I typed in death, then had to do at least 20 ways to find the right way to say it. I have to say, this is a lot like programing to me. AARRGGHH!! Why can't I forget computer science class!!

	LaughingTulkas:	Sep 15th, 2009 at 00:32 GMT		3 points
	tried "dead livestock" and couldn't seem to find the right combination for that plague.

	Jonilase:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 03:30 GMT		3 points
	maybe should be should allow "death of livestock"

	glatt44:	Nov 8th, 2009 at 00:57 GMT		-4 points
	Flies is not a plague. It is wild beasts.

	SuperFlyNinjaGuy:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 14:05 GMT		1 point
	Sounds like Egypt had a bad day.

	ellenm:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 22:30 GMT		-2 points
	I think "skin disease" should be accepted for "boils"

	nordy:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 18:34 GMT		1 point
	although there is some debate among weather or not "flies" is acceptable most people would type in "beasts" which should be accepted by sporcle

	smart86:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 16:08 GMT		-1 points
	4 is plague of wild animals or wild beasts

	ari18:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 00:33 GMT		0 points
	People: read Jim's comment and stop complaining about beasts/flies. The word could be translated as either. You're all right. Pat yourselves on the back and move on.
