Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) On the day that I smote all the firstborn.--The command given to Moses respecting the sanctification or separation of the firstborn, both of man and of beast, is recorded immediately after the account of the exodus and of the institution of the Passover (Exodus 13:1-2). It does not clearly appear, however, from the terms employed whether the sanctification or separation applied to the firstborn then in existence--which appears to be by far the more probable supposition--or whether, as some suppose, the command was simply prospective. The whole nation of Israel is described in Exodus 4:22 as the Lord's firstborn son, and the firstborn sons appear to have been regarded in the light of representatives of the entire nation.Mine shall they be: I am the Lord.--Or, They shall be (i.e., belong) to me, (even) to me, Jehovah. (Comp. Genesis 4:26 : "And to Seth, to him also." Literally, And to Seth, even him.)Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewbecauseכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe firstbornבְּכוֹר֒ (bə·ḵō·wr)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1060: Firstborn, chief[are] Mine.לִי֮ (lî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's Hebrew On the dayבְּיוֹם֩ (bə·yō·wm)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3117: A dayI struck downהַכֹּתִ֨י (hak·kō·ṯî)Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | first person common singularStrong's 5221: To strikeeveryכָל־ (ḵāl)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyfirstbornבְּכ֜וֹר (bə·ḵō·wr)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1060: Firstborn, chiefin the landבְּאֶ֣רֶץ (bə·’e·reṣ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 776: Earth, landof Egypt,מִצְרַ֗יִם (miṣ·ra·yim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest AfricaI consecratedהִקְדַּ֨שְׁתִּי (hiq·daš·tî)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 6942: To be set apart or consecratedto Myselfלִ֤י (lî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's Hebrew allכָל־ (ḵāl)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe firstbornבְּכוֹר֙ (bə·ḵō·wr)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1060: Firstborn, chiefin Israel,בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (bə·yiś·rā·’êl)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descboth manמֵאָדָ֖ם (mê·’ā·ḏām)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 120: Ruddy, a human beingandעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whilebeast.בְּהֵמָ֑ה (bə·hê·māh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 929: A dumb beast, any large quadruped, animalThey are Mine;יִהְי֖וּ (yih·yū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, beIאֲנִ֥י (’ă·nî)Pronoun - first person common singularStrong's 589: Iam the LORD.”יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousAnimal Apart Beast Consecrated Egypt Firstborn First-Born Hallowed Holy Israel Sanctified Slew Smote Struck Whether
