What does the Bible say about the death of the firstborn in Egypt?

Answered in 1 source

The death of the firstborn in Egypt was a divine judgment demonstrating God's sovereignty and justice against Pharaoh's defiance.

The death of the firstborn in Egypt, described in Exodus 11, illustrates God's supreme power and sovereignty over all creation. Pharaoh's continued rebellion against God's commands prompted this severe judgment, showcasing the folly of resisting the Almighty. It serves as a representation of God's justice, where sin is met with divine retribution, particularly against those who defy His authority. This event also reflects a twofold aspect of God's nature: His judgment against the unrepentant and His mercy towards those He chooses to save, highlighting the distinction between Israel and Egypt, despite their shared sinful nature.
