Printed Caption:
The
Egyptian first born destroyed.
Exodus 12:29-33
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. And Pharaoh
rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and
all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for
there was not a house where there was not one
dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said,
Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both
ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as
ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye
have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians
were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out
of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead
men. (KJV)
