1And Yehovah said to Moses, Yet one more plague I will bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterward he will let you go from here: when he lets you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here altogether. 2Speak 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. 3And Yehovah 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. 4And Moses said, Thus says Yehovah, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt: 5and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant who is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle. 6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more. 7But against any of the children of Israel not a dog shall move his tongue, against man or beast: that you may know that Yehovah makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel. 8And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow themselves down to me, saying, Get out, you and all the people who follow you: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 9And Yehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh will not listen to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. 10And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Yehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
