Read Exodus 11.1-10. In 11.1-10: Moses warns Pharaoh about the tenth and final plague. In verses 1-2: The horror of the final plague will cause Pharaoh and the other Egyptians to plead with Israel to leave their land. The Egyptians will voluntarily surrender objects of silver and gold (v. 20 as predicted in 3.22 and fulfilled in 12.35-36). The plundering of the Egyptians signifies Egypt's defeat in the battle with Israel's God. Israel will carry away the spoils of of war. In verse 5: The coming death of every first born in the land of Egypt expands the earlier judgment of 4.22-23, which predicted the death only of Pharaoh's firstborn son. Part of the background to this judgment is the deity's claim to all the firstborn among humans and animals as God's rightful possession (13.1-2). In verse 10: On Pharaoh's harden heart, see comment of 4.21. Comments or Questions..
