“And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:”
The climactic plague is specified: "He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first issue of their strength in the tents of Ham." The targeting of Egypt's firstborn (Ham's descendants) represents God's assault on the next generation and future hope of the nation. This plague accomplishes what military warfare cannot: the breaking of the enemy's will.
