The Exodus

³¹ During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship^(A) the Lord as you have requested.

6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand^(A) he will let them go;^(B) because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”^(C)

⁹ Moses answered, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival^(A) to the Lord.”

⁸ Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray^(A) to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices^(B) to the Lord.”

¹⁹ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand^(A) compels him. ²⁰ So I will stretch out my hand^(B) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders^(C) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.^(D)

⁸ All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Go,^(A) you and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will leave.”^(B) Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

²⁹ “Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear^(A) before you again.”

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^(B) from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.^(C)
