The Last Plague and the Passover

After Pharaoh repeatedly refused to release the Israelites, God announced a final and most serious plague. The firstborn son in every Egyptian family would die. This judgment would show that God's power was greater than Pharaohs authority.

God instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and place its blood on the doorposts of their homes. That night, when the destroyer passed through Egypt, the homes marked with the lambs blood would be protected. The firstborn children inside those homes would be spared. This event became known as the Passover.

During the night, the firstborn sons of Egypt died, including Pharaohs eldest son. Great sorrow spread throughout the land. Pharaoh finally realized that he could not resist God and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt.

The Passover became a special remembrance for the Jewish people. Every year they celebrate it to remember how God protected them and delivered them from slavery.
