Ex 11, 1-10

1 And the Lord said to Moses: “I will touch Pharaoh and Egypt with one more plague, and after these things he will release you, and he will compel you to go out. 2 Therefore, you will tell all the people to ask, a man of his friend, and a woman of her neighbor, for vessels of silver and of gold. 3 Then the Lord will grant favor to his people in the sight of the Egyptians.” And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of the servants of Pharaoh and of all the people. 4 And he said: “Thus says the Lord: ‘In the middle of the night I will enter into Egypt. 5 And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid, who is at the millstone, and all the firstborn of the beasts of burden. 6 And there will be a great outcry throughout the entire land of Egypt, such as has not been before, nor ever will be afterward. 7 But among all the sons of Israel there shall not be even a mutter from a dog, from man, even to cattle, so that you may know how miraculously the Lord divides the Egyptians from Israel.’ 8 And all these, your servants, shall descend to me and shall reverence me, by saying: ‘Depart, you and all the people who are subject to you.’ After these things, we will depart.” 9 And he went out from Pharaoh exceedingly angry. Then the Lord said to Moses: “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that many signs may be accomplished in the land of Egypt.” 10 Now Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, in the sight of Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel from his land.

Verš 2

Therefore, you will tell all the people to ask, a man of his friend, and a woman of her neighbor, for vessels of silver and of gold.

Ex 3:22 - But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of her hostess vessels of silver and of gold, as well as garments. And you shall set them upon your sons and daughters, and you shall despoil Egypt.”

Ex 12:35 - And the sons of Israel did just as Moses had instructed. And they petitioned the Egyptians for vessels of silver and of gold, and very many garments.

Verš 3

Then the Lord will grant favor to his people in the sight of the Egyptians.” And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of the servants of Pharaoh and of all the people.

Ex 12:36 - Then the Lord granted favor to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they bestowed on them. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

Verš 4

And he said: “Thus says the Lord: ‘In the middle of the night I will enter into Egypt.

Ex 12:29 - Then it happened, in the middle of the night: the Lord struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the captive woman who was in prison, and all the firstborn of the cattle.

Verš 5

And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid, who is at the millstone, and all the firstborn of the beasts of burden.

Ex 12:12 - And I will cross through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man, even to cattle. And I will bring 37 judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.

Verš 8

And all these, your servants, shall descend to me and shall reverence me, by saying: ‘Depart, you and all the people who are subject to you.’ After these things, we will depart.”

Ex 12:30 - And Pharaoh rose up in the night, and all his servants, and all of Egypt. And there arose a great outcry in Egypt. For there was not a house in which no one lay dead.

Verš 10

Now Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, in the sight of Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel from his land.

Ex 9:16 - But it was for this reason that I appointed you, so that I may reveal my strength by you, and so that my name may be described throughout all the earth.

Rim 9:17 - For Scripture says to the Pharaoh: “I have raised you up for this purpose, so that I may reveal my power by you, and so that my name may be announced to all the earth.”

Ex 11,2 - Pán bol prisľúbil Mojžišovi, že z Egypta odídu Izraeliti obohatení (pozri 3,22 a tiež 12,35). Ľudské srdce je v rukách Božích a Pán sa postaral, že Egypťania zmenili v krátkom čase, temer v okamihu, svoj nepriateľský postoj voči Izraelitom v neohraničenú žičlivosť. Dávali Izraelitom, čo si len žiadali.

Ex 11,4-8 - Nešťastie, čo zastihne egyptských prvorodených, bude trestom za to, že Egypťania nechceli prepustiť Izrael a že utláčali "prvorodeného Pánovho", izraelský národ. Žarnov, ručný mlyn. Skladal sa z dvoch hladkých kameňov. Na jeden sa nasypalo zrno a druhým sa po nasypanom zrne sem-tam pohybovalo. Táto práca bola ťažká a robievali ju obyčajne otrokyne alebo ženy. Hrozný nárek – orientálci prejavujú radosť a žalosť živšie ako my. Keď zahynie prvorodený, nádej rodiny, nárek je veľký a vzrastá do nezmerateľných rozmerov. Úžas sa zväčšuje aj tým, že nárek bude v každej egyptskej rodine. U Izraelitov však bude ticho, ani len pes nezaštekne, tam nikto z prvorodených nezomrie.
