Exodus 12 is one of the most powerful passages in all of Scripture, and it is easy to misread it as simply a story of God rescuing His people from an oppressive ruler. But the blood applied to the doorposts was not protection from Pharaoh. It was protection from the judgment of God Himself. The angel of the Lord passed through Egypt bringing judgment, and the only thing that determined who was spared was whether or not they were covered by the blood of the lamb. This was not about ethnic identity, personal righteousness, or even careful religious observance. A mixed multitude of people from many backgrounds left Egypt together, all covered by the same blood. The Israelites were not spared because they were more deserving than the Egyptians. They were spared entirely by grace.
