It is a plant of the gymnospermia (naked seeded) order, belonging to the didynamia class. It has bushy stalks, growing a foot and a half high; small spear-shaped, close-sitting, and opposite leaves, with several smaller ones rising from the same joint; and all the stalks and branches terminated by erect whorled spikes of flowers, of different colours in the varieties of the plant. The leaves have an aromatic smell, and a warm, pungent taste. Its detersive, cleansing, and medicinal qualities were probably the reason why it was so particularly recommended in Scripture. strike Exod 12:7 and none Matt 26:30 will pass through Exod 12:12-13 and will not 2Sam 24:16; Isa 37:36; Ezek 9:4, Ezek 9:6; 1Cor 10:10; Heb 11:28, Heb 12:24; Rev 7:3, Rev 9:4 Exod 12:14; Gen 17:8-10 when Deut 4:5, Deut 12:8-9, Deut 16:5-9; Josh 5:10-12; Ps 105:44-45 according Exod 3:8, Exod 3:17 your children Exod 13:8-9, Exod 13:14-15, Exod 13:22; Deut 6:7, Deut 11:19, Deut 32:7; Josh 4:6-7, Josh 4:21-24; Ps 78:3-6; Ps 145:4; Isa 38:19; Eph 6:4 It is the sacrifice Exod 12:11, Exod 12:23, Exod 34:25; Deut 16:2, Deut 16:5; 1Cor 5:7 bowed Exod 4:31, Exod 34:8; 1Chr 29:20; 2Chr 20:18, 2Chr 29:30; Neh 8:6 Heb 11:28 at midnight Exod 12:12, Exod 11:4, Exod 13:15; Job 34:20; 1Thess 5:2-3 the Lord smote The infliction of this judgment on the Egyptians was most equitable; because, after their nation had been preserved by one of the Israelitish family, they had, contrary to all right, and in defiance of original stipulation, enslaved the people to whom they had been so much indebted, had murdered their offspring, and made their bondage intolerable.

When a relative died, every one left the house, and the women, with their hair loose, and their bosoms bare, ran wild about the street. The men also, with their apparel equally disordered, kept them company; all shrieking, howling, and beating themselves. What a scene of horror and distress must now have presented itself, when there was not a family in Egypt where there was not one dead! Exod 11:6; Prov 21:13; Amos 5:17; Matt 25:6; Jas 2:13
