Pharoah was warned that the tenth and final plague would be the most devastating. God told the Hebrews to sacrifice lambs and eat the meat before morning, but not before they used the blood to paint their doorposts. The Hebrews followed these directions and also asked for and received all the gold, silver, jewelry, and clothes from the Egyptians. These treasures would later be used for the tabernacle. Over the night, an angel came and passed over all of the Hebrew homes. The firstborn in every Egyptian household would die, including Pharoah's son. This caused such a clamor that Pharoah ordered the Hebrews to leave and take all they owned.
