Psalm 78:51 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:51

And smote all the firstborn in Egypt
From the prince to the peasant; and not only the firstborn of men, but of beasts also, ( Exodus 12:29 ) ,

the chief of their strength;
or first of it, as the firstborn is called, ( Genesis 49:3 ) ,

in the tabernacles of Ham;
in the several cities, towns, villages, and houses of the Egyptians, the descendants of cursed Ham; for Mizraim, from whom the Egyptians have their name, and from whence they sprung, was a son of Ham's, ( Genesis 10:6 ) . Perhaps No Ammon may be particularly meant, ( Nahum 3:8 ) , the same with Memphis, and which signifies the mansion or palace of Ammon, that is, Ham; and so Chemmis, another city in Egypt, signifies the same F14; of which see ( Psalms 105:23 ) this was the tenth and last plague: according to Suidas F15, the plagues of Egypt continued forty days.

Psalm 78:51 In-Context

49 cuando lanz贸 contra ellos el ardor de su ira,de su furor, indignaci贸n y hostilidad:隆todo un ej茅rcito de 谩ngeles destructores!
50 Dio rienda suelta a su enojoy no los libr贸 de la muerte,sino que los entreg贸 a la plaga.
51 Dio muerte a todos los primog茅nitos de Egipto,a las primicias de su raza en los campamentos de Cam.
52 A su pueblo lo gui贸 como a un reba帽o;los llev贸 por el desierto, como a ovejas,
53 infundi茅ndoles confianza para que no temieran.Pero a sus enemigos se los trag贸 el mar.
