Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.Ĥ So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. It is described in Exodus 11:1–12:36.ġ The Lord said to Moses, “Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. That song is about the tenth plague God sent to Egypt to kill all of the firstborn of that nation. The title above refers to a song by the metal band Metallica.
