Moses Tells Pharaoh About the Death of Firstborn If He Doesn’t Let Them Go |
Exodus 11:1-10 The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus |
[Previously:] The Lord said to Moses, I will [still] bring 1 [more] plague on Pharaoh & Egypt & afterwards he will let you go [from here] & he will surely [drive] you out [of here] altogether. Speak [secretly] in the ears of the [Israelites] that every man & woman should borrow [from] their neighbors [jewelry] of silver & gold. |
The Lord gave [them] favor in the sight of the Egyptians. [Also,] Moses was very [respected] in the land of Egypt in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants & the people. |
[Exodus 10:28-29 And Pharaoh said to [Moses,] You get away from me & [you pay attention] to [not] see my face [any] more. For [on] that day you see my face, you shall die. And Moses said, I will [not] see your face [any more.] |
Moses said, The Lord said [this,] About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt. All the firstborn of Egypt shall die from the firstborn of the Pharaoh [who] sits upon his throne, to the firstborn of [female] servants [who work] behind the mill & all the firstborn of [animals.] |
And there shall be a great [out] cry throughout all the land of Egypt [like has never been] before [or will be after it again.] But [among] the children [people] of Israel, not a dog will [bark or growl,] against any man or [animal, so] you will know the Lord [makes] a difference between the Egyptians & Israel. |
All these, your servants, shall come down to me & bow down to me, saying, You, get out & all the people [who] follow you. And after that, I will go out. Then, [Moses] went out from Pharaoh in great anger. |
The Lord said to Moses, Pharaoh will not [pay attention to] you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. Moses & Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh & the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart & so that he wouldn't let the children of Israel go out of his land. |
