וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֹא־יִשְׁמַע אֲלֵיכֶם פַּרְעֹה לְמַעַן רְבוֹת מוֹפְתַי בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Adonoy said to Moshe, “Pharaoh will not listen to you. Thus I will multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt.”

וּמֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן עָשׂוּ אֶת־כׇּל־הַמֹּפְתִים הָאֵלֶּה לִפְנֵי פַרְעֹה וַיְחַזֵּק יְהֹוָה אֶת־לֵב פַּרְעֹה וְלֹֽא־שִׁלַּח אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאַרְצֽוֹ׃ {ס}

Rashi
ומשה ואהרן עשו וגו'. כבר כתב לנו זאת בכל המופתים, ולא שנאה כאן אלא בשביל לסמכה לפרשה של אחריה:
Moshe and Aharon had done, etc. This has already been written for us regarding all the wonders, and is repeated here only as a lead-in to the section that follows it.
למען רבות מופתי. מופתי שְׁנַיִם, רבות שלשה, מכת בכורות וקריעת ים סוף ולנער את מצרים:
Thus I will multiply My wonders. The word מוֹפְתַי [in the plural] represents two [wonders]. רְבוֹת — increase represents a third [wonder]: 1. the killing of the first-born, 2. the splitting of the Reed Sea, and 3. the turbulent stirring of the Egyptians.
