“1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague [more]
upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when
he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his
neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and
jewels of gold. 3 And the LORD gave the people favour 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 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out
into the midst of Egypt: 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt
shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that [is] behind the mill;
and all the firstborn of beasts. 6 And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor
shall be like it any more. 7 But against any of the children of Israel
shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know
how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and
Israel. 8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow
down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that
follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh
in a great anger. 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not
hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of
Egypt. 10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and
the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children
of Israel go out of his land.” (Ex 11:1-10 AV)
