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.

^21 (A)“Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins.

¹⁴ But ^(A)I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward ^(B)they shall come out with great possessions.

¹⁴ For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself,^[a] and on your servants and your people, so ^(A)that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

²⁰ So ^(A)I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with ^(B)all the wonders that I will do in it; ^(C)after that he will let you go.

³⁴ Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, ^(A)by signs, by wonders, and ^(B)by war, ^(C)by a mighty hand and ^(D)an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

³¹ Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, ^(A)both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said. ^32 (B)Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”

The Exodus

^33 (C)The Egyptians were urgent with the people to 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, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders. ³⁵ The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had ^(D)asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. ^36 (E)And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that ^(F)they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the ^(G)people of Israel journeyed from ^(H)Rameses to Succoth, ^(I)about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. ³⁸ A ^(J)mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds. ³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because ^(K)they were thrust out of Egypt and ^(L)could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.

⁹ They were scorched by the fierce heat, and ^(A)they cursed^[a] the name of God who had power over these plagues. ^(B)They did not repent ^(C)and give him glory.
