Exodus 13:15

Studie

       

15 and it happened, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

8086. 'That Jehovah killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt' means that all governed by faith separated from charity were damned. This is clear from the meaning of 'the firstborn of Egypt' as faith separated from charity, dealt with in 7039, 7797; as for the death of the firstborn, that it means the damnation of those who are governed by that faith and lead a life of evil, see 7766, 7778.
