⁴ Moses told Pharaoh, “The Lord says, ‘About midnight I will go through every part of Egypt. ⁵ Every oldest son in Egypt will die. The oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, will die. The oldest son of every female slave, who works at her hand mill, will die. All the male animals born first to their mothers among the cattle will also die. ⁶ There will be loud crying all over Egypt. It will be worse than it’s ever been before. And nothing like it will ever be heard again.
