ואחר שכפל הנס לעשות דין באלהיהם ולהרוג את בכוריהם על יד שנשתעבדו בישראל שנקראו בן בכור כמה דתימר בני בכורי ישראל וכמו שהתרה אותם בתחלה הנה אנכי הורג את בנך בכורך. אלו הרג את בכוריהם ולא נתן לנו את ממונם היה נס גדול ודי לנו.

Rabbi Mark Greenspan

So God passed judgment on their Gods and killed their first born because they enslaved Israel who was kicked their first born (of God), as it is written “Israel is my first born son.” (Exodus 4:22) This is also how God warned the Egyptians at first: “Behold I will kill your first born sons” (Exodus 4:23). So “If they had killed their first born and not given us their wealth, it would have been enough of a miracle for us!”
