The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn
29 aAt midnight the bLord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, cfrom 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. 30And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was da great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.Numbers 14:12
12I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I ewill make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”Numbers 16:46-49
46And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for fwrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.” 47So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. 48And he stood between the dead and the living, and gthe plague was stopped. 49Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, hbesides those who died in the affair of Korah.Psalms 78:50-51
50He made a path for his anger;he did not spare them from death,
but gave their lives over to the plague.
51He struck down every ifirstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of jHam.
Nahum 1:2-3
God’s Wrath Against Nineveh
2 kThe Lord is a jealous and avenging God;the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
lthe Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and mkeeps wrath for his enemies.
3 nThe Lord is slow to anger and ogreat in power,
and pthe Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
qHis way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
