Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 12:30

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

30. there was not a house where there was not one dead —Perhaps this statement is not to be taken absolutely. The Scriptures frequently use the words "all," "none," in a comparative sense—and so in this case. There would be many a house in which there would be no child, and many in which the first-born might be already dead. What is to be understood is, that almost every house in Egypt had a death in it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-31" class="com-number"
