And the LORD said unto Moses: yet will I bring one plague more upon
Pharao and upon Egypt, and after that he will let you go hence. And
when he letteth you go, he shall utterly drive you hence. But bid the
people that every man borrow of his neighbour and every woman of her
neighbouress: jewels of silver and jewels of gold. And the LORD gat the
people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover Moses was very
great in the land of Egypt: both in the sight of Pharao, and also in
the sight of the people. And Moses said: thus sayeth the LORD. About
midnight will I go out among the Egyptians, and all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt shall die: even from the firstborn of Pharao that
sitteth on his seat, unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is in
the mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. And there shall be a
great cry thorowout all the land of Egypt: so that there was never none
like nor shall be. And among all the children of Israel shall not a dog
move his tongue, nor yet man or beast: that ye may know, how the LORD
putteth a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. And all these
thy servants shall come down unto me, and fall before me and say: get
thee out and all the people that are under thee, and then will I
depart. And he went out from Pharao in a great anger. And the LORD said
unto Moses: Pharao shall not regard you, that many wonders may be
wrought in the land of Egypt. And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders
before Pharao. But the LORD hardened Pharao's heart, so that he would
not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
