What happened in Egypt after the Israelites applied the blood?
After the blood was applied, the death angel passed through Egypt, and all the firstborn of beast and man died, including Pharaoh’s own firstborn. Great weeping and wailing followed. The Israelites then obeyed Moses and asked the Egyptians for jewels to send them on their journey.
Les explains that after the blood was applied, the death angel passed through Egypt, and all the firstborn of beast and man were lying dead, even in Pharaoh’s house. There was great weeping and wailing. Then, in Exodus 12:35, the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses and asked of the Egyptians. Les notes that the King James word “borrowed” is unfortunate and a mistranslation, because borrowing implies giving back, which God never intended. They were merely to ask the Egyptians for jewels or anything with which to send them on their journey.
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
