1And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “I shall bring one more plague on Pharaoh and upon the Egyptians, and then I shall send you out from here, and when I have sent you out, all of you get yourselves out of here. 2And say before the people that they shall ask, each man from his neighbor, and a woman from her neighbor, an article of silver and an article of gold.” 3And LORD JEHOVAH gave favor to the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, also the man Moshe was highly honored in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of the Servants of Pharaoh and in the eyes of the people.

4And Moshe said, “Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, ‘At midnight I go out within Egypt: 5And all of the firstborn of the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne even unto the firstborn of an handmaiden that is in the house of the millstone and all the firstborn of oxen. 6And there shall be great wailing in the land of Egypt, the likes of which there has not been and there will not be. 7And it will not harm one of the house of Israel, neither will a dog with his tongue, neither children of men, neither beast, so that you will know LORD JEHOVAH separated between Egyptians and one in the house of Israel. 8And all of these your Servants shall come down to me and they will bow to me and they will say to me, ‘Go out, you and this people, all of your people, and then I shall go out’”, and Moshe went out from before Pharaoh in great anger.

9And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “PHARAOH will not hear you because I shall magnify my signs in the land of Egypt.” 10And Moshe and Aaron did these signs before Pharaoh and LORD JEHOVAH hardened the heart of Pharaoh and he did not send the children of Israel from his land.
