Exodus 11:5 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Is there not somewhat very striking in the destruction of the first-born? Through the whole Levitical dispensation what a perpetual reference is there made to this! It should seem that even in the destruction of enemies as well as in the salvation of the Lord's people, an allusion is unceasingly made to the sacrifice of Jesus.

Exodus 11:5

5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
