Exodus11

The LORD informs Moses of one final plague, the death of all firstborn in Egypt, after which Pharaoh will expel the Israelites. Before this, the Israelites are instructed to request jewels from their Egyptian neighbors, finding favor in their sight. Moses declares this impending judgment, emphasizing that Israel will be spared, demonstrating the LORD's distinction between the two peoples.

Announcement of the Final Plague

1
Now the Lord had saide vnto Moses, yet will I bring one plague more vpon Pharaoh, and vpon Egypt: after that, he will let you go hence: when he letteth you goe, he shall at once chase you hence.
2
Speake thou nowe to the people, that euery man require of his neighbour, and euery woman of her neighbour iewels of siluer and iewels of gold.
3
And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the sight of the Egyptians: also Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaohs seruantes, and in the sight of the people.)

Moses Delivers the Judgment

4
Also Moses sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, About midnight will I goe out into the middes of Egypt.
5
And all the first borne in the lande of Egypt shall die, from the first borne of Pharaoh that sitteth on his throne, vnto the first borne of the maide seruant, that is at the mille, and all the first borne of beastes.
6
Then there shalbe a great crie throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was neuer none like, nor shalbe.
7
But against none of ye children of Israel shall a dogge moue his tongue, neyther against man nor beast, that ye may knowe that the Lord putteth a difference betweene the Egyptians and Israel.
8
And all these thy seruants shall come downe vnto me, and fal before me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that are at thy feete, and after this will I depart. So he went out from Pharaoh very angry.

God's Purpose in Pharaoh's Hardening

9
And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Pharaoh shall not heare you, that my wonders may bee multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10
So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: but the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and he suffred not the children of Israel to goe out of his lande.
