For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments — the theological context: Egypt buries its firstborn (dead from the tenth plague), acknowledging both the severity of judgment and the sovereign power of Israel's God. The phrase "upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments" asserts that divine action transcends human opposition and cosmic powers, a radical claim of YHWH's supremacy.
