Kabbalah su Esodo 12:29
וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּחֲצִ֣י הַלַּ֗יְלָה וַֽיהוָה֮ הִכָּ֣ה כָל־בְּכוֹר֮ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַיִם֒ מִבְּכֹ֤ר פַּרְעֹה֙ הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְא֔וֹ עַ֚ד בְּכ֣וֹר הַשְּׁבִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּבֵ֣ית הַבּ֑וֹר וְכֹ֖ל בְּכ֥וֹר בְּהֵמָֽה׃
Ora, alla mezzanotte, il Signore percosse ogni primogenito nel paese d’Egitto, dal primogenito di Faraone, destinato a sedere sul suo trono, sino al primogenito dei prigionieri, ch’era nella casa sotterranea; come pure ogni primogenito del bestiame.
Zohar
The verse, "flocks, and menservants, and women servants," refers to lower crowns of the Kelipot, which the Holy One, blessed be He, slew in Egypt. They are called "the firstborn of cattle" (Shemot 12:29), "the firstborn of the captive" (Ibid.), and "the firstborn of the maidservant" (Shemot 11:5). Esau took fright and came toward him; he feared Jacob as much as Jacob feared him.
