This Week's Dvar Torah: 
"Sound Sleepers"
       "And it was at midnight that God smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and every firstborn animal. Pharaoh got up at midnight, he and all his servants and all Egypt, and there was a great outcry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was no corpse."(Rashi, 12:30: And Pharaoh got up: "From his bed.")          After experiencing nine plagues, Pharaoh was warned by Moses that the most devastating of all the plagues, the death of the firstborn would smite Egypt. When this promise was fulfilled, the Torah seemingly superfluously tells us that Pharaoh got up; Rashi tells us where he got up from - his bed. This ostensibly innocuous point reveals to us yet another layer lesson that can be derived from Pharaoh's behavior.
