"The first born sons of Egypt died at God's command."
The first born sons of Israel lived, because of God's command to paint the door with lamb's blood. Being a first-born Jewish son, I have a hard time finding fault with the plan. But wait; there was more. He told the Israelites to rip off the Egyptians before they left...

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.

"According to the Bible In today's world that would be murder. "
It's hard to prosecute the Angel of Death for weaponizing a plague, but, yeah, OT God has a lot of blood on His hands. For starters, a few days after killing the Egyptian sons, He drowned a lot of Egyptian fathers. That was some years after drowning everybody on the planet not related to Noah Zark.

"The Gods that are worshipped are all made in man's image"
Yup.
