5For I know that the LORD is great And that our Lord is above all gods. 6Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps— 7Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightning for the rain, Who brings the wind from His storehouses; 8Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and animal; 9Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. 10Who struck many nations And killed mighty kings, 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan; 12And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. 13Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your fame and remembrance, O LORD, [endures] throughout all generations. 14For the LORD will judge His people And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. Which was the last of the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians; and is particularly mentioned, because, by means of it, they were made willing to let the children of Israel go out of their land: and so this includes the deliverance of the Israelites, God's firstborn, when he slew the firstborn of Egypt; and who were typical of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven; and the deliverance of them, through the blood of the passover, was an emblem of the deliverance of those by the blood of Christ; see Exodus 12:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt - As the last and the greatest of the plagues brought upon the Egyptians; the chief and crowning judgment under which they were made willing that the children of Israel should go, and which was in fact the judgment which secured their freedom. This is selected here evidently for this reason, instead of recounting all the plagues which were brought upon the Egyptians.

Both of man and beast - Exodus 11:5. Margin, as in Hebrew, From man unto beast. That is, including both; smiting both.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
