1 Now the Lord had spoken to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt and said, I will inflict yet one stroke more on Pharao and on Egypt and after that he will send you away from his country. And when he shall send you away he will drive you out altogether in haste.
2 Speak therefore privately to the ears of the people, and let every one ask of his neighbour vessels of silver and gold and raiment.
3 And the Lord had given his people favour in the sight of the Egyptians and they supplied them. The man Moses also was become very great in the sight of the Egyptians and in the sight of Pharao, and in the eyes of his attendants,
4 therefore Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight I will go into the midst of Egypt,
5 and every first born in the land of Egypt shall die: from the first born of Pharao who sitteth on the throne, to the first born of the female slave who is at the grinding mill, including also the first born of all the cattle.
6 And there shall be a great cry through all the land of Egypt; such as hath never been, nor shall the like be again any more.
7 But among all the children of Israel and their cattle not even a dog shall bark at man or beast, that thou mayst know what a distinction the Lord will make between the Egyptians and the Israelites.
8 And all these thy servants will come down to me and make obeisance to me and say, Go away thou and all thy people whom thou wouldst take with thee. Then Moses went out from Pharao with indignation
9 and the Lord said to Moses, Pharao will not hearken to you that I may fully compleat my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
10 Though Moses and Aaron had done all those signs and those wonders in the land of Egypt in the presence of Pharao, yet the Lord suffered the heart of Pharao to be stubborn that he hearkened not to send away the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
