Context: Exodus 11
4And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5And 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.
6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

Commentary
Exodus 11 is a chapter that speaks to the power of God and His ability to protect His people. In this chapter, God instructs Moses to warn Pharaoh that He will bring one more plague upon Egypt before the Israelites are released. This plague will be the death of the firstborn of every Egyptian family. God promises to protect the Israelites from this plague by having them mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb. This is a powerful demonstration of God's protection and mercy.
