Another time, they were ascending to Yerushalayem, .When they came to Har haTzufim, they tore their clothes. When they reached the Temple Mount, they saw a fox emerging from the place of the Holy of Holies. They started to cry, but Rabbi Akiva, was laughing..

In this way they answered him, Akiva, you have consoled us. Akiva, you have consoled us. We will return to you Eilu Hein haLokin and we have acquired Tractate Makkos.

Rabbi Akiva says, says, "From where that every plague that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt was of five plagues? As it is stated: 'He sent upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and fury, and trouble, a sending of messengers of evil.' 'The fierceness of His anger' [corresponds to] one; 'wrath' [brings it to] two; 'and fury' [brings it to] three; 'and trouble' [brings it to] four; 'a sending of messengers of evil' [brings it to] five. You can say from here that in Egypt, they were struck with fifty plagues and at the Sea, they were struck with two hundred and fifty plagues."

One kid,

Then came a cat and ate the kid,

Then came a dog and bit the cat,

Then came a stick and hit the dog,

Then came fire and burnt the stick,

Then came water and extinguished the fire,

Then came a bull and drank the water,

Then came the schochet and slaughtered the bull,

Then came the angel of death and slaughtered the schochet,

Then came the Holy One, blessed be He and slaughtered the angel of death,
