Jan 18 at 20:01 comment added Shmuel Thank you @SAH for the great answer. I too find it very interesting that makkos choshech can also refer to a spiritual darkness, although, besides the links you mentioned, I did not find commentaries that explain this. It was G-ds plan that the people would know him, and Rav Glatstein shlita in his Magid HaRakiah (Nisan, Pesach Hagadah Shel Pesach) explains that in Mitzrayim the "fruits of Avraham Avinu" were dried up so to speak. Everything Avraham Avinu planted, e.g. faith in Hashem, was almost gone in Mitzrayim, so this could also mean "spiritual darkness".
