and there was a great cry in Egypt; throughout the whole land, the firstborn being everywhere slain, which caused a most dreadful lamentation of parents for their eldest son, of brethren and sisters for their elder brother, and of servants and maidens for the principal and heir of the family; a cry so loud and general as perhaps was never heard before or since, and under which distress they could have no relief, or any to be their comforter, since all were in the same circumstances: for there was not a house wherein there was not one dead; for if there was no firstborn in it, as it can hardly be thought there should be in every house, though some have been of opinion that it was so ordered in Providence that there should; yet the principal or most considerable person in the family, that is next to the master, might be called the firstborn, as Jarchi notes from Psa 89:27. Though this may be taken as an hyperbolical expression, or, as Aben Ezra observes, it being usual with the Scripture to say that of all, which is true of the greatest part.

Worship and obedience
1. Worship of God in faith, humility, and integrity is the fittest way of expressing thanks to him.
2. Gods revelation of grace in providences and ordinances deserve praise from His people.
3. Worship of God and obedience to Him are well coupled (Exo_12:27).
4. Dispatch in obedience is very requisite in Gods Israel.
5. Sons of Israel are fit to give worship and obedience, and Jehovah only to receive it.
6. Obedience and worship must be regulated by Gods Word only.
7. As God gives to ministers, so the Church must receive, and do exactly. (G. Hughes, B. D.)
