11:1 And the LORD said to 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.
11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
borrow of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels
of silver, and jewels of gold.
11:3 And the LORD 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.
11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I
go out into the midst of Egypt:
11:5 And all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from
the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even to
the first-born of the maid-servant that [is] behind the mill;
and all the first-born of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt, such as there hath been none like it, nor shall be like
it any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog
move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how the
LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and bow
down themselves to me, saying, Depart thou, and all the people
that follow thee; and after that I will depart: and he went out
from Pharaoh in a great anger.
11:9 And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken to
you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10 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 depart from his land.
