זוהר שמות — דף נג ע”א

When the Holy One Blessed be He arouses His judgments, He judges through the supernal Crown (Keter), and then the innocent and the wicked alike perish. The righteous are caught up in the sins of the wicked, as it is written: The Lord said to the destroying angel among the people. Rabbi Yossi teaches that the Community of Israel in Egyptian exile is the one for whose sake God smote Egypt and took vengeance upon them. The hailstones held back by Moses carried out their vengeance in the days of Joshua, and are destined to fall upon Edom in the future. Jacob the patriarch witnessed the redemption of his children from Egypt, for God had promised him: I will go down with you to Egypt and I will also bring you up again.
