English: The Death of the Firstborn. Caption: "This is the house of an Egyptian. How different it is from the house of the Israelites. The angel has been here. But when he saw there were no marks of blood on the door he did not pass over it. The angel went into all the houses of the Egyptians and caused their oldest sons to die. God sent him to do this so Pharaoh would let the Israelites go away from Egypt."
