There have been numerous mentions on the network that these curses repeat the Old Testament's biblical plagues. I would concur with such a statement, based on the text in question and previously established theme of the deities in drawing from our various worlds and their lore when it comes to visiting such things upon us.

❝This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.❞
- Exodus 7:17-18

❝This is what the great LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs. The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading troughs. The frogs will go up on you and your people and all your officials.❞
- Exodus 7:1-4

❝Then the LORD said […] "Stretch out thy rod ,and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt." […] When Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, lice came upon men and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became lice.❞
- Exodus 8:16-17

❝This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies, and even the ground where they are.❞
- Exodus 8:20-21

❝This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, so that they may worship me." If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand of the LORD will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field-on your horses and donkeys and camels and on your cattle and sheep and goats.❞
- Exodus 9:1-3

❝Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land."❞
- Exodus 9:8-9

❝This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me, or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth. For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now. Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every man and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die. […] The LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt; hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.❞
- Exodus 9:13-24

❝This is what the LORD,the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow. They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians-something neither your fathers nor your forefathers have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.❞
- Exodus 10:3-6

❝Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt-darkness that can be felt." So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days.❞
- Exodus 10:21-23

❝This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt-worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.❞
- Exodus 11:4-6

However, while the comparison is without doubt present, it is not a literal recreation. While interpreting the religious texts of the human world is not my area of expertise, it is still a fact that the supposed original took place over a much longer period of time, as well as in distinct separate occurrences. Unlike the original model, you may notice that while the plague themes remain the same, they have been overlapped with one another.

Another obvious parallel is the sudden influx of sheep, untouched by the aforementioned plagues. If one believes that this sequence will continue past where it has reached at this moment, the swarm of locusts, then to come would be the death of the first born child. The lambs have been provided, seeing as

❝The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.❞
- Exodus 12:13

However.

I must caution those who would blindly follow such advice. I cannot espouse either the use of blood or the choice not to use that which has been provided. I am indeed wary that it has been provided us. That it has could be kindness or mercy on part of the deities, or an intended cruel joke.

I merely advise that you weigh the choices carefully if you are a "first-born child".
