“Pharaoh and all his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. Get out! he ordered. Leave my people-- and take the rest of the Israelites with you! Go and worship the LORD as you have requested.”
- Exodus 12:30-31 (NLT)
