The tenth plague is where the name of the holy days of Pessah comes from. G-d went among the people of Egypt and passed over the homes of the Hebrews, and He struck down the first born sons. Many people claim that G-d committed infanticide and is no better than the Egyptians. This is simply not the case. Pharaoh was given nine other chances to release the Hebrews, and then finally he ordered the murder of Hebrew children as his predecessor had. He brought the final plague upon Egypt, and no one can be blamed for those deaths other than Pharaoh.
