The Tenth Plague Begins

Click here to read Exodus 11.

Chapter 11 records the beginning of the tenth and last plague. So far we have had 9 plagues:

1. A plague of blood.
2. A plague of frogs.
3. A plague of gnats.
4. A plague of flies.
5. A plague on all animals.
6. A plague of boils.
7. A plague of hail.
8. A plague of locusts.
9. A plague of darkness.

Now we come to the 10th. and final plague. The Lord said to Moses, "One more plague and then Pharaoh will let you go." "Tell the people to ask their Egyptian neighbors to give them their silver and gold and I will give the people of Israel favor in the eyes of the Egyptians." "On the 14th. of March (Abib) at midnight I will go through the land of Egypt and every 'first born' son, man or beast, shall die, but of the Israelites, no son nor beast shall die."

Up till this time, God had hardened Pharaoh's heart but the people of Egypt and his servants had long been willing to let the people of Israel go. Thus we are prepared for the 10th. and last plague.
