1
And Jehovah said to Moses , Yet one plague will I bring upon Pharaoh , and upon Egypt ; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go altogether, he shall utterly drive you out hence.
2
Speak now in the ears of the people , that they ask every man of his neighbour , and every woman of her neighbour , utensils of silver and utensils of gold .
3
And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians . Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt -- in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes of the people .
4
And Moses said , Thus saith Jehovah : About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt .
5
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die , from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sitteth on his throne , even unto the firstborn of the bondwoman that is behind the mill ; and all the firstborn of cattle.
6
And there shall be a great cry throughout the land of Egypt , such as there hath been 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 that Jehovah distinguisheth between the Egyptians and Israel .
8
And all these thy bondmen shall come down unto me, and bow down to me, saying, Go out , thou, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will Go out . And he went out from Pharaoh in a glowing anger .
9
And Jehovah had said to Moses , Pharaoh shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt .
10
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh ; but Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land .
