Jesus observed the Passover “For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.” (Exodus 12:42)

6 Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, “I am the Lord, and 1I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and 2I will deliver you from their bondage. 3I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 Then 4I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.” EXODUS 6:6-7
