God strikes down every firstborn in Egypt, but passes over the homes of Israelites who mark their doorframes with lamb's blood.
The tenth and final plague is the death of every firstborn in Egypt — from Pharaoh's heir to the prisoners' children. God instructs each Israelite family to sacrifice a lamb and paint its blood on their doorposts so the destroyer will pass over them. This night becomes the foundational event of Israel's identity, commemorated every year as the Passover feast.
God tells Moses there's one plague left — and it's the one that will finally break Pharaoh. Moses delivers the most terrifying announcement of his life, and Egypt is about to learn the difference between stubbornness and sovereignty.
ExodusThe Night Everything ChangedBefore the final plague falls, God does something no one expects — he tells enslaved people to eat a meal dressed for travel, paint blood on their doors, and celebrate a holiday for an exodus that hasn't happened yet. By morning, Pharaoh is begging them to leave, and four hundred years of captivity end in a single night.
ExodusNever Forget Where You Came FromIsrael has barely left Egypt and God is already engineering ways to make sure they never forget how they got out — not through textbooks, but through meals, traditions, and firstborn dedications that turn everyday life into a retelling of the rescue. Then He leads them into the wilderness by the long route, proving that His guidance isn't about efficiency but about knowing exactly what His people can handle.
