וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמשֶׁה תּוּב מַכְתַּשׁ חַד אֲנָא מַיְיתִי עֲלוֹי פַּרְעה וְעִילוֹי מִצְרָאֵי דְקָשֵׁי עֲלֵיהוֹן מִכֻּלְהוֹן וּמִבָּתַר כְּדֵין יִפְטוֹר יַתְכוֹן מִכָּא בְּמִפְטְרֵיהּ גְּמִירָא יְהֵי לֵיהּ מַטְרֵד יִטְרוֹד יַתְכוֹן מִכָּא

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the Lord spake unto Mosheh, Yet one stroke will I bring upon Pharoh and upon the Mizraee, which shall be greater than all, and afterward will he send you hence: when he releases, there shall be to himself an end: driving, he will drive you forth from hence.

מַלֵּיל כְּדוֹן בְּמִשְׁמָעֵיהוֹן דְּעַמָּא וִישַׁיְילוּן גְּבַר מִן רַחֲמֵיהּ מִצְרָאֵי וְאִתְּתָא מִן רְחִימָא מִצְרֵיתָא מָאנִין דִּכְסַף וּמָאנִין דִּדְהַב

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

Speak now in the hearing of the people, That every man shall demand from his Mizraite friend, and every woman of her Mizraite friend, vessels of silver and vessels of gold.

וִיהַב יְיָ יַת עַמָּא לְרַחֲמִין קֳדָם מִצְרָאֵי אוּף גַּבְרָא משֶׁה רַב לַחֲדָא בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם קֳדָם עַבְדֵי פַרְעה וּקְדָם עַמָּא

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the Lord gave the people favour before the Mizraee; also the man Mosheh was very great in the land of Mizraim before the servants of Pharoh and before his people.

וַאֲמַר משֶׁה לְפַרְעה כִּדְנָא אָמַר יְיָ לֵילְיָא חוֹרַן בְּשַׁעְתָּא דָא אֲנָא מִתְגְּלֵי בְּגוֹ מִצְרָאֵי

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And Mosheh spake (or, had spoken) to Pharoh, Thus saith the Lord, At this hour of the following night will I be revealed in the midst of the Mizraee,

וִימוּת כָּל בּוּכְרָא בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבִּיר בּוּכְרָא דְפַרְעה דְּעָתִיד דְּיֵיתִיב עַל כּוּרְסַיָא מַלְכוּתֵיהּ עַד בּוּכְרָא דְאַמְתָא בִּיצִירְתָּא דִבְמִצְרַיִם דְּמִתְיְלִיד לָהּ כַּד הִיא טַחְנָא אֲחוֹרֵי רֵיחַיָא וְכָל בּוּכְרָא דִבְעִירָא

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

and every firstborn in the land of Mizraim shall die: from the firstborn of Pharoh who should sit upon the throne of his kingdom, unto the firstborn son of the humblest mother in Mizraim who grindeth behind the mills, and all the firstborn of cattle.

וּתְהֵי צְוַוחְתָּא רַבְּתָא בְּכָל אַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם דְּדִכְוָותֵיהּ לֵילְיָא לָא הֲוָת בֵּיהּ מַחְתָּא כְּדָא וְדִכְוָותֵיהּ לֵילְיָא לָא תוֹסֵיף לְמֶהֱוֵי מַחְתָּא כְּדָא

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And there will be a great cry in all the land of Mizraim, because like the plague of this night there hath not been, and like the plague of this night there never will be one.

וּלְכָל בְּנֵי יִשְרָאֵל לָא יְהַנְזַק כַּלְבָּא בְּלִשְׁנֵיהּ לְמִנְבַּח לְמֵאֱנָשָׁא וְעַד בְּעִירָא מִן בִּגְלַל דְּתִנְדְּעוּן דְּיַפְרֵישׁ יְיָ בֵּין מִצְרָאֵי וּבֵינֵי יִשְרָאֵל

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

But any of the children of Israel a dog shall not harm by lifting up his tongue against either man or beast ; that they may know that the Lord maketh distinction between the Mizraites and the sons of Israel.

וְיַחְתוּן כָּל עַבְדָּךְ אִלֵּין לְוָותִי וְיִבְעוּן מָטוּ מִינִי לְמֵימַר פּוּק אַנְתְּ וְכָל עַמָּא דְּעִמָּךְ וּמִבָּתַר כְּדֵין אֶפּוֹק וּנְפַק מִלְוַת פַּרְעה בִּתְקוֹף רְגַז

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And thou shalt send down all thy servants to me, coming and beseeching me, saying, Go forth, thou and all the people who are with thee; and afterwards I will go. And he went out from Pharoh in great anger.

וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמשֶׁה לָא יְקַבֵּיל מִנְכוֹן פַּרְעה מִן בִּגְלַל לְאַסְגָאָה תִּמְהַיַי בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

But the Lord said to Mosheh, Pharoh will not hearken to you ; that I may multiply My wonders in the land of Mizraim.

וּמשֶׁה וְאַהֲרן עֲבָדוּ יַת כָּל תִּמְהַיָא הָאִילֵין קֳדָם פַּרְעה וּתְקֵיף יְיָ יַת יִצְרָא דְלִבָּא דְפַרְעה וְלָא פְטַר יַת בְּנֵי יִשְרָאֵל מֵאַרְעֵיהּ

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharoh; and the Lord strengthened the design of Pharoh's heart, and he would not release the sons of Israel from his land.
