The tenth plague is the answer to Pharaoh's original question: who is YHWH? The answer comes at midnight. The destroyer passes through Egypt. Every firstborn dies: from the firstborn of Pharaoh on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon to the firstborn of the cattle. There is not a house in Egypt without death. The great cry that goes up from Egypt at midnight is the sound of a civilization learning that the God who dwells among his people is the God who judges those who oppress them.
Thread 3 is in the firstborn: the whole pattern of the OT's firstborn theology, primogeniture, covenant inheritance, sacrifice, arrives at the tenth plague. Pharaoh, Egypt's divine firstborn and son of Ra, loses his own son. The God who called Israel my firstborn son (Exodus 4:22) judges Egypt through its firstborn.
Thread 5 is the theological summary: ten plagues, ten Egyptian deities addressed and proven powerless. YHWH is now known in Egypt in the way Exodus 9:14-16 promised: there is no one like me in all the earth. Thread 2 is the distinction: Israel is protected by blood, not by merit or ethnicity. Any Egyptian household that followed the Passover instructions was protected. The mixed multitude of Exodus 12:38 that left with Israel confirms that the protection was blood-based and open.
Plague 10, Death of the Firstborn: the judgment falls on Pharaoh himself, the son of Ra, the divine firstborn; and the Passover lamb's blood on the doorposts is the only protection: not ethnicity, not religion, only blood.
וְכָל בְּכוֹר בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם יָמוּת (ve-khol bekhor be-erets Mitsrayim yamut): all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die: bekhor (firstborn, the one with special covenant status and family inheritance rights; Pharaoh himself is bekhor in the theological sense as son of Ra; the judgment strikes at the apex of Egyptian religious and political identity)
