1And the LORD said to Moses, "One more blow I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt; after that he will send you from here. When he sends away the whole, he will drive you from here."2Speak now in the hearing of the people: they will ask—every man from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor—for vessels of silver and vessels of gold.3And the LORD gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. Also the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants and in the eyes of the people.4Moses said, "Thus says the LORD: About the middle of the night I will go out in the midst of Egypt."5And death will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the handmaid who is behind the millstones, and every firstborn of livestock.6And there will be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as has not happened and such as will not happen again.7And not a dog will sharpen its tongue against any of the sons of Israel, whether against man or livestock, in order that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.8All these servants of yours will come down to me and bow down to me, saying, "Go out, you and all the people who are at your feet," and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh's presence hot-nosed.9And the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, in order to multiply my signs in the land of Egypt."10Moses and Aaron did all these signs before Pharaoh, and the LORD strengthened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not send the sons of Israel from his land.
