Bo: Hashem’s Hand: "“Take even your flock and even your cattle, as you have spoken, and go – and bless me as well!” (Shemos/Exodus 12:32)
Rashi comments; “And bless me as well – pray for me that I should not die, for I am a firstborn.”
The Sifsei Chachamim in his commentary explains that Pharaoh could not have been asking for merely a blessing since the words - “as well” – imply that he wanted to be included in another group – i.e. the Jewish firstborn who were to be spared.
Rather, he was asking that Moshe and Aaron pray for him that his life be spared."
