Exodus 11
Revised Geneva Translation
11 Now the LORD had said to Moses, “I will yet bring one more plague upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall at once chase you from here.
2 “Speak now to the people, so that every man requires from his neighbor, and every woman from her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.”
3 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Also, 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 says the LORD: ‘About midnight, I will go out into the midst of Egypt.
5 ‘And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the maid servant who is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.
6 ‘Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as has never been before, nor shall be.
7 ‘But, against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move his tongue, against man or beast, so that you may know that the LORD puts a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 ‘And all your servants shall come down to Me, and fall before Me, saying, “Get out, and all the people who are at your feet!” And after this I will depart.’” So, he went out from Pharaoh very angry.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh shall not hear you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart; and he did not allow the children of Israel to go out of his land.
Exodus 11
English Standard Version
A Final Plague Threatened
11 The Lord said to Moses, “Yet (A)one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. (B)When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, that (C)they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 (D)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 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: (E)‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is (F)behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 6 (G)There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. 7 But not a dog shall growl (H)against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord (I)makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’ 8 And (J)all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 9 Then the Lord said to Moses, (K)“Pharaoh will not listen to you, that (L)my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord (M)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
