Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Exd 12:30 — And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one dead.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

and there was a great cry		No people were more remarkable and frantic in their mournings than the Egyptians. When a relative died, every one left the house, and the women, with their hair loose, and their bosoms bare, ran wild about the street. The men also, with their apparel equally disordered, kept them company; all shrieking, howling, and beating themselves. What a scene of horror and distress must now have presented itself, when there was not a family in Egypt where there was not one dead! Exd 11:6; Pro 21:13; Amo 5:17; Mat 25:6; Jam 2:13
