“Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.”
By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the Israelites — Moses' faith included obedience to the Passover (pascha) ritual: sprinkling (prochēma) blood on doorposts. The destroyer's (olothreuō) inability to touch those sheltered by blood illustrates faith's protective power.
