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.
