The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn

Exodus 12

²⁹ _o At midnight the _p Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, _q from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. ³⁰ And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was _r a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. ³¹ Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, "Up, go out from among my people, _s both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said. ³² _t Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!"
