1
And Jehovah said unto Moses , Yet one plague more will I bring 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 them ask every man of his neighbor , and every woman of her neighbor , jewels of silver , and jewels of gold .
3
And Jehovah 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 Jehovah , About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt :
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 unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill ; and all the first-born of cattle.
6
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt , such as there hath not been, nor shall be 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 Jehovah doth make a distinction 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 hot anger .
9
And Jehovah said unto Moses , Pharaoh will 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 Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart , and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land .
