Commentary on Exodus 12:29
The phrase 'at midnight' emphasizes the precise timing of God's judgment—not gradual or uncertain, but sudden and exact. 'The LORD smote all the firstborn' fulfills the warned judgment (Exodus 4:23, 11:5). The comprehensive scope—'from the firstborn of Pharaoh...unto the firstborn of the captive...and all the firstborn of cattle'—demonstrates no Egyptian escaped, regardless of rank. Divine judgment is no respecter of persons.
