Exodus 11
1 The LORD said to Moshe, "Yet one plague more will I bring on Par`oh, and on Mitzrayim; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out 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 The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitzrim. Moreover the man Moshe was very great in the land of Mitzrayim, in the sight of Par`oh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 Moshe said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Mitzrayim, 5 and all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim shall die, from the firstborn of Par`oh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maid-servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle. 6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitzrayim, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more. 7 But against any of the children of Yisra'el a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Mitzrim and Yisra'el. 8 All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, 'Get out, and all the people who follow you; and after that I will go out.'" He went out from Par`oh in hot anger. 9 The LORD said to Moshe, "Par`oh won't listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Mitzrayim." 10 Moshe and Aharon did all these wonders before Par`oh, and the LORD hardened Par`oh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Yisra'el go out of his land.
