(KJV) Exodus 11¹

⥃The Plague on the Firstborn Foretold

[1] And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet will² I bring one plague [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards³ he will let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you⁴ out hence altogether. [2] Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow⁵ of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels⁶ of silver, and jewels of gold. [3] And the Lord⁷ gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses⁸ [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, About⁹ midnight will I go¹⁰ out into the midst of Egypt: [5] And all the firstborn¹¹ in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that [is] behind¹² 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.¹³ [7] But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog¹⁴ move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference¹⁵ between the Egyptians and Israel. [8] And all¹⁶ these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee¹⁷: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger¹⁸. [9] And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh¹⁹ shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders²⁰ may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. [10] And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the Lord²¹ hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
