**ולא (הרג בכוריהם דיינו).** הא דחשוב הריגת בכורים לטובה יותר מכל המכות שהוכו מצרים היא משום דבהריגת בכורות ניכר שהיה על ידי סיבה ראשונה ולא על ידי מלאך כי הוא המבחין בין טפה של בכור ולא בלתו.

**Rabbi Mark Greenspan:**
**…and not killed the first born it would have been enough:** The acts of judgments are so great they are even greater than the all the plagues, even the death of the first born. Why was this plague singled out of all the plagues? Because this plague was the one that proved beyond any question that the plagues were the hand of God and not simply coincidence. Only God can distinguish between the fetus of the first born and all other fetus. Therefore God’s judgment of the gods of Egypt is even enough compared with the plagues. Even if God had not carried out the tenth plague the judgment of the gods of Egypt would still have been enough.
