“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)
