Exodus 11 · Parashat Bo

And the Lord said to Moshe, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Par῾o, and upon Miżrayim; afterwards he will let you go from here: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out altogether from here.

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of Miżrayim; moreover the man Moshe was very great in the land of Miżrayim, in the sight of Par῾o’s servants, and in the sight of the people.

And Moshe said, Thus says the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Miżrayim:

and all the firstborn in the land of Miżrayim shall die, from the firstborn of Par῾o that sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.

And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Miżrayim, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

But against any of the children of Yisra᾽el not a dog shall move its tongue, neither against man or beast: that you may know that the Lord differentiates between Miżrayim and between Yisra᾽el.

And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get thee gone, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Par῾o in great anger.

And the Lord said to Moshe, Par῾o shall not hearken to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Miżrayim.

And Moshe and Aharon did all these wonders before Par῾o: and the Lord hardened Par῾o’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Yisra᾽el go out of his land.
