What is it that makes a distinction between Israel and Egypt?
In parshat Bo Moses encounters Pharaoh for the last time. Pharaoh is warned that the L-RD will strike every firstborn in Egypt but that not even a dog shall growl against the people of Israel. “That you may know that the L-RD makes a distinction between Israel and Egypt” (Exodus 11:7).
So G-d Himself is the distinction maker. But how does He do that?
