The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn^(A)

^29 (B)And it came to pass at midnight that ^(C)the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was ^[a]in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of ^(D)livestock. ³⁰ So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

The Exodus

³¹ Then he ^(E)called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, ^(F)both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have ^(G)said. ^32 (H)Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”

^33 (I)And the Egyptians ^(J)urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.” ³⁴ So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. ³⁵ Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians ^(K)articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. ^36 (L)And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus ^(M)they plundered the Egyptians.
