וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה כַּחֲצֹ֣ת הַלַּ֔יְלָה אֲנִ֥י יוֹצֵ֖א בְּת֥וֹךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
At sinabi ni Moises: “Ganito ang sinabi ng Walang-Hanggan: Sa may hatinggabi ay lalabas Ako sa gitna ng Egipto.”
Sha'arei Orah
Now, when our teacher Moshe, peace be upon him, came to inform Pharaoh of the plague of the death of the firstborn, he hinted that it would be actualized through the Divine quality of Koh-כה. He therefore stated,237Exodus 11:4-5 “Thus-Koh-כה said HaShem-יהו״ה, ‘At about midnight I shall go out in the midst of Egypt. Every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die etc.’” It is about this that our sages, of blessed memory, stated,238Liturgy of Passover Haggadah; Sifri Devarim 301:18; Yalkut Shimoni Exodus 12; Ramban to Exodus 12:12 and elsewhere. “I shall go out in the midst of Egypt – I-Anee-אני, and not and angel; and I shall strike every firstborn – I-Anee-אני, and not a Seraph, etc.”
