Exodus 11:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Moses Warns the Egyptians That the Lord Will Kill Their First-Born Sons

11 The Lord said to Moses:

I am going to punish the king^[a] of Egypt and his people one more time. Then the king will gladly let you leave his land. In fact, he will even chase you out. ² Now go and tell my people to ask their Egyptian neighbors for gold and silver jewelry.

³ So the Lord made the Egyptians greatly respect the Israelites, and everyone, including the king's officials, considered Moses an important leader.
