11Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will strike Pharaoh and the land of Egypt with one more blow. After that, Pharaoh will let you leave this country. In fact, he will be so eager to get rid of you that he will force you all to leave.H3068H559H4872H935H259H5061H6547H4714H310H7971H7971H1644H1644H36172Tell all the Israelite men and women to ask their Egyptian neighbors for articles of silver and gold."H1696H241H5971H376H7592H7453H802H7468H3627H3701H3627H20913(Now the LORD had caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people of Israel. And Moses was considered a very great man in the land of Egypt, respected by Pharaoh's officials and the Egyptian people alike.)H3068H5414H5971H2580H5869H4714H376H4872H3966H1419H776H4714H5869H6547H5650H5869H59714Moses had announced to Pharaoh, "This is what the LORD says: At midnight tonight I will pass through the heart of Egypt.H4872H559H559H3068H3915H2676H3318H8432H47145All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest servant girl who grinds the flour. Even the firstborn of all the livestock will die.H1060H776H4714H4191H1060H6547H3427H3678H1060H8198H310H7347H1060H9296Then a loud wail will rise throughout the land of Egypt, a wail like no one has heard before or will ever hear again.H1961H1419H6818H776H4714H3808H3808H32547But among the Israelites it will be so peaceful that not even a dog will bark. Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites.H1121H3478H3611H2782H3956H376H929H3045H3068H6395H4714H34788All the officials of Egypt will run to me and fall to the ground before me. 'Please leave!' they will beg. 'Hurry! And take all your followers with you.' Only then will I go!" Then, burning with anger, Moses left Pharaoh.H5650H3381H7812H559H3318H5971H7272H310H3318H3318H6547H2750H6399Now the LORD had told Moses earlier, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, but then I will do even more mighty miracles in the land of Egypt."H3068H559H4872H6547H8085H4159H7235H776H471410Moses and Aaron performed these miracles in Pharaoh's presence, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave the country.H4872H175H6213H4159H6440H6547H3068H2388H6547H3820H1121H3478H7971H776
