Exodus Chapter 11 (DRC)

1 And the Lord said to Moses: Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharao and Egypt, and after that he shall let you go, and thrust you out.

2 Therefore thou shalt tell all the people, that every man ask of his friend, and every woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver and of gold.

3 And the Lord will give favour to his people in the sight of the Egyptians. And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharao's servants, and of all the people.

4 And he said: Thus saith the Lord: At midnight I will enter into Egypt:

5 And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharao who sitteth on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid that is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts.

6 And there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as neither hath been before, nor shall be hereafter.

7 But with all the children of Israel there shall not a dog make the least noise, from man even to beast; that you may know how wonderful a difference the Lord maketh between the Egyptians and Israel.

8 And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and shall worship me, saying: Go forth thou, and all the people that is under thee: after that we will go out.

9 And he went out from Pharao exceeding angry. But the Lord said to Moses: Pharao will not hear you, that many signs may be done in the land of Egypt.

10 And Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, before Pharao. And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in Exodus 11?
Before the final plague strikes, Moses announces to Pharaoh that at midnight every firstborn in Egypt will die while Israel remains untouched (vv. 1-8); the plague itself takes place in Exodus 12.
What sign is given that Israel will be spared this last plague?
The text says "against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue," marking the clear distinction God makes between the two peoples (v. 7).
Why does Pharaoh still refuse to let Israel go at this point?
The chapter notes that the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart precisely so that His wonders would be multiplied in Egypt before the release finally comes (vv. 9-10).
