Exodus 11

YHWH announces to Moses the tenth and final plague: the death of all firstborn in Egypt at midnight, from Pharaoh's son to the lowest slave and all livestock, while the Israelites remain unharmed to demonstrate YHWH's distinction between the nations.[1][2] Moses delivers this warning to Pharaoh, who will subsequently command the Israelites to leave Egypt.[1][4]
