While the angel of death was passing by, if it sees the blood of the lamb, it will pass over

So it happened, that the entire Egypt was in great mourning the following morning as all their firstborns, both man and animals died in the night but nothing happened to any of the firstborn both man and animals of the Israelites

The Jews celebrate the Passover festival as a Day of remembrance of how they escaped death in the hands of the angel of death
