2 Mose 11
Schlachter 2000
Ankündigung der letzten Plage
11 Und der Herr sprach zu Mose: Ich will noch eine Plage über den Pharao und über Ägypten bringen; danach wird er euch fortziehen lassen; und wenn er euch ziehen lässt, so wird er euch sogar ganz und gar fortjagen.
2 So rede nun zu dem Volk, dass jeder Mann von seinem Nächsten und jede Frau von ihrer Nachbarin silberne und goldene Geräte fordern soll.
3 Und der Herr gab dem Volk Gunst bei den Ägyptern; auch war Mose ein sehr großer Mann im Land Ägypten in den Augen der Knechte des Pharao und in den Augen des Volkes.[a]
4 Und Mose sprach: So spricht der Herr: Um Mitternacht will ich mitten durch Ägypten gehen,
5 und alle Erstgeburt im Land Ägypten soll sterben — von dem Erstgeborenen des Pharao, der auf seinem Thron sitzt, bis zum Erstgeborenen der Magd, die hinter der Handmühle sitzt; auch alle Erstgeburt unter dem Vieh.
6 Und es wird ein großes Geschrei sein im ganzen Land Ägypten, wie es niemals gewesen ist, noch sein wird.
7 Aber bei allen Kindern Israels soll kein Hund die Zunge regen, weder gegen Menschen noch gegen das Vieh, damit ihr erkennt, dass der Herr einen Unterschied macht zwischen Ägypten und Israel.
8 Dann werden alle diese deine Knechte zu mir herabkommen und mir zu Füßen fallen und sagen: Ziehe aus, du und das ganze Volk hinter dir her! Danach werde ich ausziehen! — Und er ging vom Pharao hinweg mit grimmigem Zorn.
9 Der Herr aber hatte zu Mose gesagt: Der Pharao wird nicht auf euch hören, damit meine Wunder zahlreich werden im Land Ägypten.
10 So hatten Mose und Aaron alle diese Wunder vor dem Pharao getan; aber der Herr verstockte das Herz des Pharao, sodass er die Kinder Israels nicht aus seinem Land ziehen ließ.

- (11,3) Die Verse 1-3 schildern offensichtlich ein Reden des Herrn zu Mose, das vor dem Gespräch mit dem Pharao stattfand; in V. 4 setzt Mose seine Rede vor dem Pharao fort.
Exodus 11
English Standard Version
A Final Plague Threatened
11 The Lord said to Moses, “Yet (A)one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. (B)When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, that (C)they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 (D)And the Lord 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.
4 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: (E)‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is (F)behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 6 (G)There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. 7 But not a dog shall growl (H)against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord (I)makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’ 8 And (J)all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 9 Then the Lord said to Moses, (K)“Pharaoh will not listen to you, that (L)my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord (M)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 11
New International Version
The Plague on the Firstborn
11 Now the Lord had said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go(A) from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.(B) 2 Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”(C) 3 (The Lord made the Egyptians favorably disposed(D) toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded(E) in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.)
4 So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About midnight(F) I will go throughout Egypt.(G) 5 Every firstborn(H) son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill,(I) and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. 6 There will be loud wailing(J) throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. 7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction(K) between Egypt and Israel. 8 All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Go,(L) you and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will leave.”(M) Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.
9 The Lord had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen(N) to you—so that my wonders(O) may be multiplied in Egypt.” 10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(P) and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.
