11:1 And ADONAI (יהוה) said to Moshe :
"Yet will I bring one more plague on Paroh, and on Mitzrayim. Afterwards he will let you go from here: When he shall let you go, he shall surely drive you out of here altogether.
11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
11:3 And ADONAI (יהוה) gave the people favour in the sight of the Mitzrites. Moreover the man Moshe was very great in the land of Mitzrayim, in the sight of Paroh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

Thus says ADONAI (יהוה):
"About midnight will I go out into the midst of Mitzrayim:"
11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim shall die, from the firstborn of Paroh that sitteth upon his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitzrayim, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
11:7 But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Yisrael, either man or beast, that you may know that ADONAI (יהוה) makes a distinction between Mitzrites and Yisrael.
11:8 And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying:
"Get you out, and all the people that follow you: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Paroh in a great anger."
11:9 And ADONAI (יהוה) said to Moshe:
"Paroh shall not heed you; that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Mitzrayim."
11:10 And Moshe and Aharon did all these wonders before Paroh: and ADONAI (יהוה) hardened Paroh's heart, so that he would not let Benai Yisrael go out of his land.
