You can see (in the word-cloud above) that this book's headings' focus is (if not Moses---which I've already 'done') |Plague|, a word built above the proto-word foundation *plak- "to Strike" (the way people say they- or their communities-were 'Struck' by Malignant Disease).
The Hebrew word used (the first one I found in 'the actual text' (rather than 'the BSB headings')) was מַגֵּפָה (maggephah) "a Blow, |Slaughter, |Pestilence"---also translated "|Calamity."
on which are also built #Plagues #Plagued #Plaguing
