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.
