AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 12:12 'For I [the LORD] will pass through the land of Egypt on this night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal; against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments [exhibiting their worthlessness]. I am the LORD. |
Bible Question: i understand why passover is observed. what i dont understand is ---did god kill all the babys upon whosedoors wernt marked by the blood. |
Bible Answer: Dear wejlly, No. See the below verse that not all babies, but all firstborn (including grown up man and animals / beasts in the land of Egypt). God is so merciful that He did not kill all (as He did when He judged the wicked people in Noah's time), but retained the second born children onward. Ex 12:12 'For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments--I am the LORD.
