For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.

See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.

So the Lord let himself be turned from his purpose of sending punishment on his people.
