Ancient History: Adam to MessiahThe significance of the death of every firstborn in Egypt, from the house of Pharaohto the slaves and the livestock, was great. But Israel would be spared so that therewould be an obvious distinction between those who belong to the YAWH and thosewho do not. (Exodus 11:1-10)And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land ofEgypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of thecaptive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose upin the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a greatcry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. And he calledfor Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among mypeople, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless mealso. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them outof the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. And the people took theirdough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothesupon their shoulders. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses;and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lentunto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. (Exodus12:29-36)Research the Plaugues. Use any resource (an encyclopedia, nonfiction book, historical novel,or the Internet).
