Chapter 11 |
| 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 neighbor, and every woman of her
neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold. |
| 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. |
| 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 first born 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. |
