What does Exodus 12:28 mean?

Through Moses and Aaron (Genesis 12:1), the Lord has given instructions for Israel to prepare for the first Passover. Those who follow these instructions will be spared from the terrible wrath coming on Egypt (Exodus 12:13). Here, Scripture notes that the Hebrew people cooperated. They began preparing lambs (Exodus 12:21–22), unleavened bread (Exodus 12:8, 20), and other details (Exodus 12:8–11). In an appropriate attitude of worship, they obey (Exodus 12:27).

That night, the Lord will follow through on His threats against Egypt and its king, the pharaoh (Exodus 4:21–23). Death will come to the primary heirs of every family in Egypt (Exodus 11:4–6). This will even strike the firstborn of livestock. The suffering of Israel's captors (Exodus 1:8–14) will finally break centuries of oppression (Exodus 12:41).
