Exodus 11

1And Jehovah said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

1The LORD said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go. When he finally lets you go, he will actually drive you out of here completely.

2Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

2Tell the people that every man and woman should ask their Egyptian neighbors for jewelry made of silver and gold."

3And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover 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.

3The LORD caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people. Also, Moses himself was highly respected in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the common people.

4And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

4Then Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight, I will go throughout Egypt.

5and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.

5Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on the throne to the firstborn of the servant girl working at the hand mill. Even the firstborn of the livestock will die.

6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, nor shall be any more.

6There will be loud wailing throughout all of Egypt, worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.

7But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that Jehovah doth make a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.

7But among the Israelites, not even a dog will bark at any person or animal. Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.'

8And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

8All these officials of yours will come down to me, bowing low and saying, 'Leave, you and all the people who follow you!' After that, I will leave." Then Moses, burning with anger, left Pharaoh's presence.

9And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

9The LORD had told Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that my miracles may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."

10And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

10Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites leave his country.
