Q8) What instructions for survival are given to the Israelites, and with what result?
8) Jehovah now reveals to Moses that there will be one more blow against Pharaoh and all the Egyptians, a final one. On the 14th of Abib (Nisan), the firstborn of every Egyptian man and of every animal is going to die. But Israelite households can be spared by carefully following God's instructions given to Moses. They are to splash some of the blood of a male lamb upon the two doorposts and the upper part of the doorway of their houses and to stay indoors . What happens that night? Let Moses himself tell us: "It came about that at midnight Jehovah struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt." Pharaoh's reaction is immediate. Calling Moses and Aaron to him, he tells them: "Get up, get out from the midst of my people.... and go, serve Jehovah, just as you have stated." And go the Israelites do, possibly more than three million of them along with an unnumbered "vast mixed company" of non-Israelites.-Exodus 12:1-7, 29, 31, 37, 38.
It’s all parallels folks… blood, doorposts, stay inside. Now, it’s meetings, no porn, and going in field service. Hey, at least you don’t have to touch dead mammals.
I love the answer I heard a sister give for this one.
Though only the first borns were to be killed by Jehovah's angel. The Israelites knew that if they went out side the angel of death would kill them even if they weren't a first born. I had to hold it in.
