    At what time did God smite the first born of Egypt?

    • Evening

    • Noon

    • Morning

    • Midnight

    Correct Answer
    A. Midnight
    Explanation

This event occurred during the final plague inflicted upon Egypt, where the Angel of Death passed through the land and took the lives of all the firstborn sons. The Israelites were instructed to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb, so that the Angel of Death would "pass over" their homes. Hence, the correct answer is midnight.
