| 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. |
