In the lead-up to the plague of locust, G-d tells Moses, “ Bo el Pharaoh – Come to Pharaoh” (Exodus 10:1). Many commentators are troubled by this strange verbiage as one would have otherwise expected G-d to say, “ Lech el Pharaoh – Go to Pharaoh,” which is what He says to Moses in telling him to warn Pharaoh about the plague of blood (ibid. 7:15). The bo” has a gematria of three, which alludes to the fact that three more plagues were left at that point until the Exodus. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kasher (1895-1983), however, notes that Hashem uses the word “ bo” instead of “ lech” two other times when telling Moses to meet Pharaoh (ibid., 7:26 and 9:1), and at neither of those points were three plagues remaining.
