In follow up to my Posts on the first Passover in Egypt and the reason for God killing the Egyptians' firstborns in the final plague: The purpose for killing the Egyptians' firstborns was two fold. First, it was because God's firstborn were being killed by the Egyptians and followed the "eye for an eye" justice. Second, it was a testament that if the Israelites followed God's instructions regarding the death angel passing over them, then their firstborns would be saved.
Exodus 4:22-23 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, 'Thus saith the Lord, 'Israel is My son, even My firstborn: And I say unto thee 'Let My son go, that he may serve Me:' and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.'"
Moses was saved at God's direction when Pharoah was having all the firstborn Hebrew males killed, and God saved all of Israel from Pharoah's enslavement through the Exodus.
