Exodus 10:24-11:3

English Standard Version

²⁴Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, ^(A)“Go, serve the Lord; ^(B)your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.” ²⁵But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. ²⁶Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the Lord our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.” ²⁷But the Lord ^(C)hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. ²⁸Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.” ²⁹Moses said, “As you say! ^(D)I will not see your face again.”

A Final Plague Threatened

11 The Lord said to Moses, “Yet ^(E)one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. ^(F)When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. ²Speak now in the hearing of the people, that ^(G)they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” ³^(H)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.
