Context Readings

Death Of Firstborn And Deliverance From Egypt

28 Then the Israelites went and did [as they had been told]: just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 29 Now it happened at midnight that the Lord struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 30 Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry [of heartache and sorrow] in Egypt, for there was no house where there was not someone dead.
