# at midnight
"in the middle of the night"
# all the firstborn in the land of Egypt ... all the firstborn of cattle
Here, "firstborn" always refers to the oldest male offspring. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Exodus 11:5](../11/05.md).
# who sat on his throne
This refers to Pharaoh.
# the firstborn of the person in prison
"to the firstborn of people in prison." This refers to prisoners, in general, and not to a specific person in prison.
