DEATH OF THE FIRST-BORN THREATENED. (Exo 11:1-10)
the Lord said--rather, "had said unto Moses." It may be inferred, therefore, that he had been apprised that the crisis had now arrived, that the next plague would so effectually humble and alarm the mind of Pharaoh, that he would "thrust them out thence altogether"; and thus the word of Moses (Exo 10:29), must be regarded as a prediction. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The Lord said - Or "the Lord had said." The first three verses of this chapter are parenthetical. Before Moses relates the last warning given to Pharaoh, he feels it right to recall to his readers' minds the revelation and command which had been previously given to him by the Lord.
When he shall let you go ... - When at last he lets you depart with children, flocks, herds, and all your possessions, he will compel you to depart in haste. Moses was already aware that the last plague would be followed by an immediate departure, and, therefore, measures had probably been taken to prepare the Israelites for the journey. In fact, on each occasion when Pharaoh relented for a season, immediate orders would of course be issued by Moses to the heads of the people, who were thus repeatedly brought into a state of more or less complete organization for the final movement. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Proclamation of the Tenth Plague; or the Decisive Blow. - Exo 11:1-3. The announcement made by Jehovah to Moses, which is recorded here, occurred before the last interview between Moses and Pharaoh (Exo 10:24-29); but it is introduced by the historian in this place, as serving to explain the confidence with which Moses answered Pharaoh (Exo 10:29). This is evident from Exo 11:4-8, where Moses is said to have foretold to the king, before leaving his presence, the last plague and all its consequences. ויּאמר therefore, in Exo 11:1, is to be taken in a pluperfect sense: "had said;" and may be grammatically accounted for from the old Semitic style of historical writing referred to in the commentary on Gen 2:18-22, as Gen 2:1 and Gen 2:2 contain the foundation for the announcement in Gen 2:4-8. So far as the facts are concerned, Gen 2:1-3 point back to Exo 3:19-22. One stroke more (נגע) would Jehovah bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt, and then the king would let the Israelites go, or rather drive them out. כּלה כּשׁלּחו, "when he lets you go altogether (כּלה adverbial as in Gen 18:21), he will even drive you away." |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord said unto Moses - Calmet contends that this should be read in the preterpluperfect tense, for the Lord Had said to Moses, as the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth verses appear to have been spoken when Moses had the interview with Pharaoh mentioned in the preceding chapter; see Clarke's note on Exo 10:29. If therefore this chapter be connected with the preceding, as it should be, and the first three verses not only read in the past tense but also in a parenthesis, the sense will be much more distinct and clear than it now appears. |
29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou hast spoken [01696] well [03651], I will see [07200] thy face [06440] again [03254] no more.
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Yet will I bring [0935] one [0259] plague [05061] more upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon Egypt [04714]; afterwards [0310] he will let you go [07971] hence: when he shall let you go [07971], he shall surely [01644] thrust you out [01644] hence altogether [03617].
2 Speak [01696] now in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], and let every man [0376] borrow [07592] of his neighbour [07453], and every woman [0802] of her neighbour [07468], jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091].
3 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] the people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714]. Moreover the man [0376] Moses [04872] was very [03966] great [01419] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650], and in the sight [05869] of the people [05971].
4 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], About midnight [03915] [02676] will I go out [03318] into the midst [08432] of Egypt [04714]:
5 And all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall die [04191], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sitteth [03427] upon his throne [03678], even unto the firstborn [01060] of the maidservant [08198] that is behind [0310] the mill [07347]; and all the firstborn [01060] of beasts [0929].
6 And there shall be [01961] a great [01419] cry [06818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], such as there was none [03808] like it, nor [03808] shall be like it any more [03254].
7 But against any of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall not a dog [03611] move [02782] his tongue [03956], against man [0376] or beast [0929]: that ye may know [03045] how that the LORD [03068] doth put a difference [06395] between the Egyptians [04714] and Israel [03478].
8 And all these thy servants [05650] shall come down [03381] unto me, and bow down [07812] themselves unto me, saying [0559], Get thee out [03318], and all the people [05971] that follow [07272] thee: and after [0310] that I will go out [03318]. And he went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547] in a great [02750] anger [0639].
9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Pharaoh [06547] shall not hearken [08085] unto you; that my wonders [04159] may be multiplied [07235] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
10 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] all these wonders [04159] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]: and the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], so that he would not let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] go out [07971] of his land [0776].
21 I will go down [03381] now, and see [07200] whether they have done [06213] altogether [03617] according to the cry [06818] of it, which is come [0935] unto me; and if not, I will know [03045].
19 And I am sure [03045] that the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] will not let [05414] you go [01980], no, not by a mighty [02389] hand [03027].
20 And I will stretch out [07971] my hand [03027], and smite [05221] Egypt [04714] with all my wonders [06381] which I will do [06213] in the midst [07130] thereof: and after [0310] that he will let you go [07971].
21 And I will give [05414] this people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714]: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go [03212], ye shall not go [03212] empty [07387]:
22 But every woman [0802] shall borrow [07592] of her neighbour [07934], and of her that sojourneth [01481] in her house [01004], jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091], and raiment [08071]: and ye shall put [07760] them upon your sons [01121], and upon your daughters [01323]; and ye shall spoil [05337] the Egyptians [04714].
1 Thus the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] were finished [03615], and all the host of them [06635].
2 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] God [0430] ended [03615] his work [04399] which he had made [06213]; and he rested [07673] on the seventh [07637] day [03117] from all his work [04399] which he had made [06213].
3 And God [0430] blessed [01288] the seventh [07637] day [03117], and sanctified [06942] it: because [03588] that in it he had rested [07673] from all his work [04399] which God [0430] created [01254] and made [06213].
4 These [0428] are the generations [08435] of the heavens [08064] and of the earth [0776] when they were created [01254], in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] made [06213] the earth [0776] and the heavens [08064],
5 And every plant [07880] of the field [07704] before [02962] it was in the earth [0776], and every herb [06212] of the field [07704] before [02962] it grew [06779]: for [03588] the LORD [03068] God [0430] had not [03808] caused it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776], and there was not [0369] a man [0120] to till [05647] the ground [0127].
6 But there went up [05927] a mist [0108] from [04480] the earth [0776], and watered [08248] the whole face [06440] of the ground [0127].
7 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] formed [03335] man [0120] of the dust [06083] of [04480] the ground [0127], and breathed [05301] into his nostrils [0639] the breath [05397] of life [02416]; and man [0120] became a living [02416] soul [05315].
8 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] planted [05193] a garden [01588] eastward [06924] in Eden [05731]; and there [08033] he put [07760] the man [0120] whom [0834] he had formed [03335].
2 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] God [0430] ended [03615] his work [04399] which he had made [06213]; and he rested [07673] on the seventh [07637] day [03117] from all his work [04399] which he had made [06213].
1 Thus the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] were finished [03615], and all the host of them [06635].
18 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] said [0559], It is not good [02896] that the man [0120] should be [01961] alone; I will make [06213] him an help meet [05828] for him.
19 And out of the ground [0127] the LORD [03068] God [0430] formed [03335] every beast [02416] of the field [07704], and every fowl [05775] of the air [08064]; and brought [0935] them unto Adam [0120] to see [07200] what he would call [07121] them: and whatsoever Adam [0120] called [07121] every living [02416] creature [05315], that [01931] was the name thereof [08034].
20 And Adam [0120] gave [07121] names [08034] to all cattle [0929], and to the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and to every beast [02416] of the field [07704]; but for Adam [0120] there was not found [04672] an help meet [05828] for him.
21 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] caused [05307] a deep sleep [08639] to fall [05307] upon Adam [0121], and he slept [03462]: and he took [03947] one [0259] of his ribs [06763], and closed up [05462] the flesh [01320] instead thereof;
22 And the rib [06763], which the LORD [03068] God [0430] had taken [03947] from man [0120], made [01129] he a woman [0802], and brought [0935] her unto the man [0120].
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Yet will I bring [0935] one [0259] plague [05061] more upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon Egypt [04714]; afterwards [0310] he will let you go [07971] hence: when he shall let you go [07971], he shall surely [01644] thrust you out [01644] hence altogether [03617].
4 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], About midnight [03915] [02676] will I go out [03318] into the midst [08432] of Egypt [04714]:
5 And all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall die [04191], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sitteth [03427] upon his throne [03678], even unto the firstborn [01060] of the maidservant [08198] that is behind [0310] the mill [07347]; and all the firstborn [01060] of beasts [0929].
6 And there shall be [01961] a great [01419] cry [06818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], such as there was none [03808] like it, nor [03808] shall be like it any more [03254].
7 But against any of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall not a dog [03611] move [02782] his tongue [03956], against man [0376] or beast [0929]: that ye may know [03045] how that the LORD [03068] doth put a difference [06395] between the Egyptians [04714] and Israel [03478].
8 And all these thy servants [05650] shall come down [03381] unto me, and bow down [07812] themselves unto me, saying [0559], Get thee out [03318], and all the people [05971] that follow [07272] thee: and after [0310] that I will go out [03318]. And he went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547] in a great [02750] anger [0639].
29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou hast spoken [01696] well [03651], I will see [07200] thy face [06440] again [03254] no more.
24 And Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] unto Moses [04872], and said [0559], Go [03212] ye, serve [05647] the LORD [03068]; only let your flocks [06629] and your herds [01241] be stayed [03322]: let your little ones [02945] also go [03212] with you.
25 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou must give [05414] us [03027] also sacrifices [02077] and burnt offerings [05930], that we may sacrifice [06213] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430].
26 Our cattle [04735] also shall go [03212] with us; there shall not an hoof [06541] be left behind [07604]; for thereof must we take [03947] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; and we know [03045] not with what we must serve [05647] the LORD [03068], until we come [0935] thither.
27 But the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], and he would [014] not let them go [07971].
28 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto him, Get [03212] thee from me, take heed [08104] to thyself, see [07200] my face [06440] no more [03254]; for in that day [03117] thou seest [07200] my face [06440] thou shalt die [04191].
29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou hast spoken [01696] well [03651], I will see [07200] thy face [06440] again [03254] no more.
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Yet will I bring [0935] one [0259] plague [05061] more upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon Egypt [04714]; afterwards [0310] he will let you go [07971] hence: when he shall let you go [07971], he shall surely [01644] thrust you out [01644] hence altogether [03617].
2 Speak [01696] now in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], and let every man [0376] borrow [07592] of his neighbour [07453], and every woman [0802] of her neighbour [07468], jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091].
3 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] the people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714]. Moreover the man [0376] Moses [04872] was very [03966] great [01419] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650], and in the sight [05869] of the people [05971].
29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou hast spoken [01696] well [03651], I will see [07200] thy face [06440] again [03254] no more.
