Plague of Death of the firstborn

After the tenth Plague, the Pharaoh finally commanded Moses to take the Israelites out of Egypt.
Moses led the Exodus guided by a Pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night, until they reached the Red Sea. At this point the Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued Moses with a chariot army.
Moses was instructed by God to hold out his rod over the Red Sea, which produced an easterly wind which blew all night and created a dry crossing between two walls of water. During the night, the Israelites passed between the walls of water, and safely reached the other side.
At dawn, the Pharaoh and his chariot army appeared and attempted to pass through the same passage. At this point the wind abated, the walls of water collapsed and the Pharaoh and his chariot army are engulfed by the water and destroyed.
Freed from their captivity, Moses and the Israelites were then able to continue on their way to the Promised Land.
