[ Read](/kjv/exodus/11)[ Commentary](/study/exodus/11)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/exodus/11) Audio

 1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague *more* upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let *you* go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

 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.

 3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses *was* very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.

 4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that *is* behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

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

 7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

 8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.**

 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

 10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
Proclamation of the Tenth Plague; or the Decisive Blow. - [Exodus 11:1-3](/kjv/exodus/11/1-3). The announcement made by Jehovah to Moses, which is recorded here, occurred before the last interview between Moses and Pharaoh ([Exodus 10:24-29](/kjv/exodus/10/24-29)); but it is introduced by the historian in this place, as serving to explain the confidence with which Moses answered Pharaoh ([Exodus 10:29](/kjv/exodus/10/29)). This is evident from [Exodus 11:4-8](/kjv/exodus/11/4-8), where Moses is said to have foretold to the king, before leaving his presence, the last plague and all its consequences. ויּאמר therefore, in [Exodus 11:1](/kjv/exodus/11/1), is to be taken in a pluperfect sense: “*had said;* ” and may be grammatically accounted for from the old Semitic style of historical writing referred to in the commentary on [Genesis 2:18-22](/kjv/genesis/2/18-22), as [Genesis 2:1](/kjv/genesis/2/1) and [Genesis 2:2](/kjv/genesis/2/2) contain the foundation for the announcement in [Genesis 2:4-8](/kjv/genesis/2/4-8). So far as the facts are concerned, [Genesis 2:1-3](/kjv/genesis/2/1-3) point back to [Exodus 3:19-22](/kjv/exodus/3/19-22). One stroke more ( נגע ) would Jehovah bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt, and then the king would let the Israelites go, or rather drive them out. כּלה כּשׁלּחו , “*when he lets you go altogether* ( כּלה adverbial as in [Genesis 18:21](/kjv/genesis/18/21)), *he will even drive you away*.”
