11.5 Et morietur omne primogenitum, etc. ORIG. hom. 4 Ad ultimum primitivorum infertur interitus, in quo fortassis est aliquid supra nostram intelligentiam, quod commissum ab Ægyptiis videatur in Ecclesiam primitivorum, quæ ascripta est in cœlis. Unde etiam exterminator angelus ad hoc ministerium mittitur, qui parcit illis tantum qui utrosque postes agni sanguine signatos habuerunt. Delentur iterum primogenita Ægyptiorum: sive eos principatus et potestates, et mundi hujus rectores tenebrarum dicamus, quos adventu suo Christus traduxit, id est captivos duxit et captivavit, cum in ligno crucis triumphavit: sive auctores et inventores falsarum religionum, quas Christi veritas cum suis exstinxit auctoribus. Principatus, et potestates, et rectores tenebrarum harum, primogenita sunt Ægyptiorum quod [Al., qui] in ultima plaga, cum scilicet finis mundi advenerit cum separabit oves ab hædis, grana a paleis, damnabuntur, amissa vagandi et tentandi licentia. ORIG. Moraliter. Anima, dum in hoc mundo in erroribus vivit, ignorantia veritatis, in Ægypto posita est: si appropinquare cœpit lex Dei, aquas in sanguinem convertit, id est fluidam et lubricam juventutis vitam convertit ad sanguinem Veteris vel Novi Testamenti. Deinde educit lex ex ea vanam et inanem loquacitatem adversum Dei providentiam, ranarum querelæ similem. Purgat etiam malignas cogitationes ejus, et sciniphum mordacitati similes calliditatis aculeos discutit. Libidinum quoque morsus cynomyiæ spiculis similes depellit: stultitiamque et intellectum pecudibus similem per quam homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit, sed comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, etc. Psal. 48. Arguit ulcera peccatorum, arrogantiæ tumorem, et fervorem furoris exstinguit. Adhibet post hæc voces filiorum tonitrui, id est evangelicas et apostolicas doctrinas, et castigationem grandinis, ut luxuriam voluptatesque cœrceat; et simul ignem pœnitentiæ, ut dicat: Nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis Luc. 24.? Nec non locustarum ab ea subducit exempla, quibus depascantur omnes inquieti et turbidi motus ejus, ut discat omnia secundum ordinem facere. Ubi vero sufficienter fuerit castigata pro moribus, cum auctorem verberum senserit, confitens quia digitus Dei est, et parum agnitionis acceperit: tunc præcipue gestorum suorum tenebras videt et errorum caliginem, et tunc merebitur ut exstinguantur in ea primogenita Ægypti. Omnis enim anima cum ad supplementum ætatis venerit, et velut naturalis lex cœperit in ea jura sua defendere, primos motus secundum desiderium carnis producit, quos ex concupiscentiæ vel iræ fomite vis incentiva commoverit. Unde quasi privilegium singulare de Christo propheta dicit: Butyrum et mel manducabit; priusquam faciat aut proferat maligna, eliget bonum Isa. 7.; quoniam priusquam sciat puer bonum aut malum, resistet malitiæ, ut eligat quod bonum est. David autem de se dicit: Delicta juventutis meæ et ignorantiasmeas ne memineris Psal. 24.. Quia ergo hi primi animæ motus secundum carnem prolati in peccatum ruunt, merito in morali loco primogenita Ægyptiorum primitiva ponuntur, quia exstinguuntur si reliquæ vitæ conversatio emendatiorem dirigat cursum. Sic ergo in anima, quam lex divina ab erroribus susceptam castigat, primogenita Ægyptiorum delentur, nisi post hæc omnia in infidelitate perdurans, nolit jungi Isræliticæ plebi, ut exeat de profundo et evadat incolumis, sed in iniquitate permaneat, et descendat tanquam plumbum in aquam validissimam. Iniquitas enim, secundum Zachariam ZAC. 5., sedet super talentum plumbi: et ideo qui permanet in iniquitate, tanquam plumbum demergitur in profondum.

BRN And every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharao that sits on the throne, even to the first-born of the woman-servant that is by the mill, and to the first-born of all cattle.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:5 In much of the world, the issue of survival is addressed through children, and it is through the firstborn sons that the family line is carried on. If we have a child, there is a sense of satisfaction that even when we are dead, we will live on through our children. In the death of the Egyptian firstborn, God was showing that humans can do nothing by themselves to guarantee survival. Life is a gift, and that gift is in the hand of the one Lord, the “I Am.”

The “firstborn” always refers to the oldest male offspring.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠בְּכ֤וֹר פַּרְעֹה֙ הַ⁠יֹּשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְא֔⁠וֹ עַ֚ד בְּכ֣וֹר הַ⁠שִּׁפְחָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַחַ֣ר הָ⁠רֵחָ֑יִם וְ⁠כֹ֖ל בְּכ֥וֹר בְּהֵמָֽה

This is a merism. First, two extremes are mentioned: the highest of society (Pharaoh, who sits on his throne) and the lowest (the slave girl who is behind the mill). Then the animals (beasts) are added making it a three-item list of parts of society and even the economy to show the totality of the coming judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language.

אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַחַ֣ר הָ⁠רֵחָ֑יִם

which/who after the,handmill

Alternate translation: “who is grinding at the handmill” or “who is behind the handmill grinding grain”
