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. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, (D)articles of silver and articles of gold.” 3 (E)And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man (F)Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.
4 Then Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: (G)‘About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt; 5 and (H)all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the animals. 6 (I)Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, (J)such as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again. 7 (K)But against none of the children of Israel (L)shall a dog [a]move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the Lord does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.’ 8 And (M)all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will go out.” (N)Then he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
9 But the Lord said to Moses, (O)“Pharaoh will not heed you, so that (P)My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.” 10 So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; (Q)and the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

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.

11 ¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Una plaga traeré aún sobre el Faraón, y sobre Egipto; después de la cual él os dejará ir de aquí; y seguramente os echará de aquí del todo.
2 Habla ahora al pueblo, y que cada uno demande a su vecino, y cada una a su vecina, vasos de plata y de oro.
3 Y el SEÑOR dio gracia al pueblo en los ojos de los egipcios. También Moisés era gran varón en la tierra de Egipto, delante de los esclavos del Faraón, y delante del pueblo.
4 ¶ Y dijo Moisés: El SEÑOR ha dicho así: A la medianoche yo saldré por en medio de Egipto,
5 y morirá todo primogénito en tierra de Egipto, desde el primogénito del Faraón que está asentado en su trono, hasta el primogénito de la esclava que está tras el molino; y todo primogénito de las bestias.
6 Y habrá gran clamor por toda la tierra de Egipto, cual nunca fue, ni jamás será.
7 Mas entre todos los hijos de Israel, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, ni un perro moverá su lengua: para que sepáis que hará diferencia el SEÑOR entre los egipcios y los israelitas.
8 Y descenderán a mí todos estos tus esclavos, e inclinados delante de mí dirán: Sal tú, y todo el pueblo que está debajo de ti; y después de esto yo saldré. Y salió muy enojado de la presencia del Faraón.
9 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: El Faraón no os oirá, para que mis maravillas se multipliquen en la tierra de Egipto.
10 Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron todos estos prodigios delante del Faraón; mas el SEÑOR había endurecido el corazón del Faraón, para que no dejara ir de su tierra a los hijos de Israel.
