Adonoy said to Moshe, “There is one more plague that I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. After that he will send you away from here. When he sends you away, he will actually drive you out from here completely.

Speak, please [now], in the ears of [before] the people, and let each man request [borrow] from his friend, and each woman from her friend, articles of silver and articles of gold.”

Adonoy gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moshe too was very great in the land of Egypt, [both] in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.

Moshe said, “This is what Adonoy has said, About the time of midnight, I will go out [become revealed] in the midst of Egypt.

Every first-born in the land of Egypt will die, from the first-born of Pharaoh sitting on his [who is destined to sit upon the] throne [of his kingdom], to the first-born of the [Egyptian] slave girl, behind the mill-stones, and every first-born animal.

There will be a great cry [of anguish] throughout the entire land of Egypt, the likes of which there never was and like there never will be.

But among all the B’nei Yisrael, a dog will not sharpen [cause damage with] its tongue [growl] at man or animal. You will then know that Adonoy distinguishes between Egypt and Yisrael.

Then all these, your servants, will come down to me, and prostrate themselves [beseech me] saying, ‘Go! You and all the people that follow you [that are with you]. Then I will go out.” He [Moshe] then left Pharaoh in great anger.

Adonoy said to Moshe, “Pharaoh will not listen to [accept] you. Thus I will multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt.”

Moshe and Aharon had done all these wonders before Pharaoh. [However] Adonoy hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he did not send the B’nei Yisrael out of his land.
