1   And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Yet wyl I brynge one plague more vp&obar; Pharao, and vpon Egypt, and after that, he wyll let you go hence: when he shal let you go quite, he shall vtterly dryue you hence.

2    ^noteSpeake thou therfore in the eares of the people, that euery man borowe of his neighbour, and euery woman of her neighbour, iewels of syluer, and iewels of golde.

3   And the Lorde shall geue the people fauour in the syght of the Egyptians: Moreouer, Moyses was a very great man in the lande of Egypt in the syght of Pharaos seruauntes, and in the syght of the people.

4   And Moyses sayde, Thus sayth the Lorde: At mydnyght, wyll I go out into the myddest of Egypt,

5   And all the first borne in all the land of Egypt shall dye, euen fr&obar; the first borne of Pharao ^note that sytteth on his seate, vnto the first borne of the mayde seruaunt that is behynde the myll, and all the first gendred of the cattell.

6   And there shalbe a great crye throughout all the lande of Egypt, such as there was neuer none lyke, nor shalbe.

7   But amongst the chyldren of Israel shal not a dogge moue his tounge, from a man vnto a beast: that ye may knowe how that the Lord putteth a difference betweene the Egyptians and Israel. B   

8    ^noteAnd these thy seruauntes shal al come downe vnto me, and fall before me, and say: Get thee out, and all the people that are vnder thee, and then wyll I depart. And he went out from Pharao ^note with an angry countenaunce.

9   And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses:

The Passouer. Pharao shall not heare you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

10   And Moyses and Aaron dyd all these wonders before Pharao: And the Lord hardened Pharaos heart, so that he woulde not let the chyldren of Israel go out of his lande.
