MIDNIGHT — A Seven-Day Guided Study of Exodus 4–13
Why did God strike the firstborn of Egypt—and how does the Bible frame one of the most difficult judgments in the Exodus story?
MIDNIGHT is a serious seven-day guided study of Exodus 4–13, created for readers who want to examine the tenth plague beyond simplified explanations.
Beginning with God’s declaration that Israel was His firstborn son, this study follows the conflict through Pharaoh’s final refusal, the Passover sign, the judgment at midnight, Israel’s departure, and the consecration of the firstborn in Exodus 13.
Across seven carefully structured days, you will explore:
• Why Israel is called God’s firstborn
• What “firstborn” meant in its biblical and cultural context
• Why the judgment extended from Pharaoh’s palace to ordinary Egyptian households
• The meaning of the blood placed on the doorposts
• The relationship between the LORD and the destroyer
• Why the Egyptian firstborn should not automatically be described as infants
• How Israel’s deliverance became an enduring responsibility
• Which ethical questions the biblical text answers—and which remain unresolved
This study does not minimize Egypt’s grief or offer careless answers to a difficult passage. It carefully distinguishes between what Exodus explicitly states, responsible interpretation, historical background, and speculation.
