Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go and God had sent Moses and plagues to make Pharaoh release God's people and Pharaoh refused. God told Israel to put the blood of a lamb on their door posts and He would pass over their families, but He would kill the first born of the children of Egypt so Pharaoh would let God's people go.
Pharaoh let them go after the first born were killed, but Pharaoh followed the children of Israel into the Red Sea in attempt to kill them or bring them back and God killed Pharaoh and all of his men in the Red Sea.
This is a great lesson to unbelievers and believers and that is when God says do something you'd best do it. However, remember one thing - God never tells you to kill anyone. If a spirit tells you this - it is not of God, but the devil.

Ridiculous story. Darkness is treated as an actual entity, the Hebrew God comes off looking like a bipolar baby killing maniac, and magic symbols save the day.
And Christians all over the United States gather in Churches to listen in rapt attention to the description of the mass murder of children, and then they praise their God for it.
And then they wonder why Atheists look at them with disgust.

The same thing He did with Pharoah's army--they are dead.
God will save our children if we remain faithful. The Bible says that the unbelievers in the household will be saved if they are pleased to live under Christian principles.
However, God's Law tells you that the wicked will receive their reward, and that includes their unbelieving family members (see Exodus 20)
God is real, and His reward is with Him. More on what happens at death and how one is saved at: http://abiblecode.tripod.com

He ordered that they be killed so that the Jews might be liberated from slavery. Then a few hundred years later, he allowed the exact same thing to happen to his one and only Son, so that the world could be liberated from slavery to sin and have eternal life. Genius.

He killed them!!! HAHAHAHHA (Evil laugh) No seriously he unleashed the angel of death (whatever) and only the Jews who had a cross painted in the blood of a sacrificed lamb survived.

Any that didn't observe the Passover as instructed had their first born die.

The same thing that will happen to all who have not the blood of Jesus to cover their sins.
Have you had your sins forgiven yet or are you waiting for the death angel?
