Exodus 11
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will bring
yet one more plague on Pharaoh, and on
Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When
he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out
altogether.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people,
and let every man ask of his neighbor, and
every woman of her neighbor, jewels of
silver, and jewels of gold.”
3 Yahweh gave the people favor in the
sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man
Moses was very great in the land of Egypt,
in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in
the sight of the people.
4 Moses said, “This is what Yahweh says:
‘About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt,
5 and allthefirstborn in the land of Egypt
shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh
who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of
the female servant who is behind
the mill, and all the firstborn of livestock.
6 There will be a great cry throughout
all the land of Egypt, such as there has not
been, nor will be any more.
7 But against any of the children of Israel
a dog won’t even bark or move its tongue,
against man or animal, that you may know
that Yahweh makes a distinction between
the Egyptians and Israel.
8 All these servants of yours will come
down to me, and bow down themselves to
me, saying, “Get out, with all the people
who follow you;” and after that I will go
out.’ ” He went out from Pharaoh in hot
anger.
9 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh won’t
listen to you, that my wonders may be
multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before
Pharaoh, but Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the
children of Israel go out of his land.
