Exo. 12:30

Back to Exodus'

and there was a great cry.No people were more remarkable and frantic in their mournings than the Egyptians.

When a relative died, every one left the house, and the women, with their hair loose, and their bosoms bare, ran wild about the street.

The men also, with their apparel equally disordered, kept them company; all shrieking, howling, and beating themselves.

What a scene of horror and distress must now have presented itself, when there was not a family in Egypt where there was not one dead!
