Death of the Firstborn Announced^(A)

11 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. ^(B)Afterward he will let you go from here. ^(C)When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether.

¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve ^(A)I will judge; afterward ^(B)they shall come out with great possessions.

¹⁴ for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, ^(A)that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

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

³⁴ Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, ^(A)by trials, ^(B)by signs, by wonders, by war, ^(C)by a mighty hand and ^(D)an outstretched arm, ^(E)and by great ^[a]terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

The Exodus

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

^33 (E)And the Egyptians ^(F)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 ^(G)articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. ^36 (H)And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus ^(I)they plundered the Egyptians.

³⁷ Then ^(J)the children of Israel journeyed from ^(K)Rameses to Succoth, about ^(L)six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. ³⁸ A ^(M)mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of ^(N)livestock. ³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because ^(O)they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they ^(A)blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; ^(B)and they did not repent ^(C)and give Him glory.
