The first born witnessed the nine plagues and should have repented? Nonsense, you should read Exodus. Yahweh does not ask the Egyptians to become his worshipers. Yehweh claims a covenant with the Hebrews. He spurns other worshipers. He asks the Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go, not to convert. The Pharaoh was the only person who had any say over whether to let the Hebrews go. The first born were just by standers, especially the little tykes and the first born animals. And Yahweh repeatedly "hardened" Pharaoh's heart so that he would not.
Not that there's any historical truth to the story.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
