bring one plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, and after that he will send you
forth thence; and whenever he sends you forth with every thing, he will
indeed drive you out.

ask of his neighbour jewels of silver and gold, and raiment.
11:3 And Yehovah gave his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and
they lent to them; and the man Moses was very great before the Egyptians,
and before Pharaoh, and before his servants.
11:4 And Moses said, These things saith Yehovah, About midnight I go forth
into the midst of Egypt.
11:5 And every first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the
first-born of Pharaoh that sits on the throne, even to the first-born of the
woman-servant that is by the mill, and to the first-born of all cattle.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as
has not been, and such shall not be repeated any more.
11:7 But among all the children of Israel shall not a dog snarl with his
tongue, either at man or beast; that thou mayest know how wide a distinction
Yehovah will make between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and do me reverence,
saying, Go forth, thou and all the people over whom thou presidest, and
afterwards I will go forth.
11:9 And Moses went forth from Pharaoh with wrath. And Yehovah said to
Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken to you, that I may greatly multiply my signs
and wonders in the land [of] Egypt.
11:10 And Moses and Aaron wrought all these signs and wonders in the land
[of] Egypt before Pharaoh; and Yehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
did not hearken to send forth the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt. |
11:1 And Yehovah 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.

neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of
gold.

the midst of Egypt:
11:5 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.
11:6 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.
11:7 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 Yehovah doth put a
difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
11:8 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.
11:9 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that
my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Yehovah
hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go
out of his land. |
