³⁶ And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

³ Reuben! my first-born thou, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;

⁵¹ And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.

⁸ Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

¹⁰ To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age `is' His kindness.

²³ and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve Me; and -- thou dost refuse to send him away -- lo, I am slaying thy son, thy first-born.'

⁴ And Moses saith, `Thus said Jehovah, About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,

⁵ and every first-born in the land of Egypt hath died, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the maid-servant who `is' behind the millstones, and all the first-born of beasts;

¹² and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I `am' Jehovah.

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who `is' in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

³⁰ And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not `one' dead,

²⁸ by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.
