straight to the firstborn thing. Ok.

I thought it was all increasing punishments until pharaoh set the Jews free. I'm sure there was a lot of innocent deaths along the way. God is all powerful and perfect and good but pretty sloppy when it comes to revenge and punishment I guess.

Not so important that anyone died I don't think, just important that pharaoh was made to personally feel punishment. Through losing a child I guess. God is happy to throw away children's lives to make a point I suppose.
