The XI. Chapter.
[ A] ANd the LORDE sayde vnto Moses: I wil yet brynge a plage vpon Pharao and Egipte: after yt shal he let you go from hence, & shal not onely let all go, but al¦so dryue you hence. Therfore saye now vnto the people, yt euery man borowe of his negh¦boure, & euery woman of his neghbouresse, Iewels of syluer & golde:* 1.1 for the LORDE shal geue the people fauor in the sight of ye Egip¦ciās.* 1.2 And Moses was a very greate man in the lande of Egipte, in ye sight of Pharaos seruauntes, & in the sight of the people.
[ B] And Moses sayde: Thus sayeth the LOR¦DE: At mydnight wil I go out in the lande of Egipte, & all ye first borne in the lande of Egipte shall dye: from Pharaos first sonne (yt sytteth vpon his seate) vnto the first sonne of the mayde seruaunte which is behynde ye myll: & all the first borne amonge the catell: & there shalbe a greate crie in all the lande of Egipte, soch as neuer was, ner shalbe. But amonge all the childrē of Israel there shall not a dogg quatch wt his tonge, fro men vn∣to catell, yt ye maye knowe, how yt the LORDE hath put a differēce betwixte Egipte & Is∣rael. [ C] Thē shal all these thy seruauntes come downe vnto me, & fal at my fote, & saye: Get the out, thou & all the people that are vnder the. After that wyl I departe. And he wēte frō Pharao wt a wroth full displeasure. The LORDE saide vnto Moses: Pharao herke∣neth not vnto you, yt many wōders maye be done in ye lāde of Egipte. And Moses & Aa¦ron dyd all these wōders before Pharao: but ye LORDE hardened his hert, yt he wolde not let ye childrē of Israel go out of his londe.
