Roman Catholic Lens Commentary: Exodus 11:1-10

## Roman Catholic Lens Reading of Exodus 11:1-10

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Exodus 11:1-10 as a profound prefiguration of the Paschal Mystery, central to our faith. The final plague, the death of the firstborn, signifies the ultimate deliverance of God's people, which finds its fulfillment in Christ, the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice on the Cross redeems us from sin and death. This passage also invites us to reflect on the sovereignty of God and His divine plan for salvation, which unfolds through history and is fully realized through the Incarnation, Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
