the people

This refers to the people of Israel, also called, “the Israelites.”

so God sent

The connecting word "so" connects the cause—Pharaoh made the Israelites work harder instead of letting them go, with the result—God sent ten terrible plagues on Egypt. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result)

ten terrible plagues

A plague is something very bad or terrible that happens to someone or something. A plague usually refers to something that affects many people or happens over a large geographic area. Another word for “plague” would be “disaster.”

all of Egypts gods

It may be more clear to say, “all the gods that the Egyptian people worshiped.” The people of Egypt worshiped many different false gods. Some of these false gods did not exist. Other false gods that they worshiped were actually demons. Demons are not as powerful as the God of Israel.
