Chapter 11

And Yehovah saith unto Moses, `One plague more I do bring in on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, afterwards he doth send you away from this; when he is sending you away, he surely casteth you out altogether from this place;

speak, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, and they ask -- each man from his neighbour, and each woman from her neighbour, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold.`

And Yehovah giveth the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians; also the man Moses is very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people.

And Moses saith, `Thus said Yehovah, About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,

and every first-born in the land of Egypt hath died, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the maid-servant who is behind the millstones, and all the first-born of beasts;

and there hath been a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, and such as there is not again.

`And against all the sons of Israel a dog sharpeneth not its tongue, from man even unto beast, so that ye know that Yehovah doth make a separation between the Egyptians and Israel;

and all these thy servants have come down unto me, and bowed themselves to me, saying, Go out, thou and all the people who are at thy feet; and afterwards I do go out;` -- and he goeth out from Pharaoh in the heat of anger.

And Yehovah saith unto Moses, `Pharaoh doth not hearken unto you, so as to multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt;`

and Moses and Aaron have done all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Yehovah strengtheneth Pharaoh`s heart, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
