Exodus 11:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 11:4

2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and ^aarticles of gold.”

3 ^aAnd the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man ^bMoses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.

4 Then Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ^a‘About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt;

5 and ^aall the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the animals.

6 ^aThen there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, ^bsuch as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again.

7 ^aBut against none of the children of Israel ^bshall a dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the Lord does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.’

8 And ^aall these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will go out.” ^bThen he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
