| 1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring 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 them ask every man of his neighbor, and
every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. 3 And
Jehovah 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 And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About midnight will I go out into
the midst of Egypt: 5 and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall
die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto
the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the
first-born of cattle. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the
land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, nor shall be 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 Jehovah doth make a
distinction 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 hot anger.
9 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh will 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 Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and
he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
