    Wasn’t that the bit with sheep blood on the door frame? And that it didn’t make any difference whether Egyptian or Jewish, as long as they did that part?

    Far as I recall, some Jewish families didn’t follow through and they weren’t spared. So it really wasn’t about saving the Jews, but rather converting followers and punishing those that disobeyed.

    Mfkrs learned the wrong lessons from it.

      Yes, God is apparently unable to recognize his own chosen people and only reacts to the sight of blood*. Which would explain some other things in Bible and not only, for example make the infamous Beziers massacre quote “Kill them, for the Lord knows those that are His” demonstrably false.

      *That reminds me of something, “Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it flows without cease for all eternity”

      That’s my understanding as well, about putting blood on the door frame. I omitted that. You may be correct about the rest.
