Exodus 11

¹And our Lord said to Moyses: yet with one plague more will I touch Pharao and Ægypt, and after this he shall dismiss you, and compel you to go forth.

²Thou shalt say therefore to all the people, that every man ask of his friend & every woman of her neighbour vessels of silver and of gold.

³And the Lord will give grace to his people in the sight of the Ægyptians. And Moyses was a very great man in the Land of Ægypt, in the sight of Pharao's servants, and of all the people.

⁴And he said: This saith our Lord: At midnight I will enter into Ægypt:

⁵and every first-begotten in the Land of the Ægyptians shall die, from the first-begotten of Pharao who sitteth in his throne, even to the first-begotten of the handmaid that is at the mill, and all the first-begotten of beasts.

⁶And there shall be a great cry in the whole Land of Ægypt, such as neither hath been before, nor shall be afterwards.

⁷But with all the children of Israel there shall not a dog mutter, from man even to beast: that you may know with how great a miracle our Lord doth divide the Ægyptians and Israel.

⁸And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and shall adore me, saying: Go forth thou, and all the people that is under thee: after this we shall go forth.

⁹And he departed from Pharao exceeding angry. And our Lord said to Moyses: Pharao will not hear you, that many signs may be done in the Land of Ægypt.

¹⁰And Moyses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, before Pharao. And our Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he dismiss the children of Israel out of his Land.
