1And the LORD said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you all out completely."
2"Speak now in the hearing of the people. Let every man ask his neighbour, and every woman her neighbour, for jewels of silver and jewels of gold."
3And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Also 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.
4And Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: About midnight I will go out into the middle of Egypt."
5"And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the servant girl who is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of the animals."
6"And there will be a great cry through all the land of Egypt. There has never been such a cry, and there never will be again."
7"But among the children of Israel not even a dog will growl at man or animal. So you will know that the LORD makes a difference between the Egyptians and Israel."
8"And all these servants of yours will come down to me and bow down to me, saying, 'Go out, you and all the people who follow you.' And after that I will go out." And he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
