    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The last plague arrives with a curious side errand: while Egypt is warned of midnight death, Israel is told to ask its neighbours for silver and gold.

    A departure preparedvv. 1–3

    The LORD tells Moses that one more plague will make Pharaoh let the people leave—and drive them out completely. Alongside this grim announcement comes the practical instruction that men and women should ask their Egyptian neighbours for silver and gold. Somehow, Moses is highly regarded by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people, while Israel has favour in Egyptian sight: a remarkably courteous prelude to being expelled.

    Midnight and the great cryvv. 4–10

    Moses announces that at midnight every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from Pharaoh’s firstborn to the servant girl’s, along with the firstborn of the cattle. A cry will rise unlike any heard before or again; among Israel, by contrast, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast. Pharaoh’s officials will come bowing and demand that Moses and all who follow him leave. Moses then departs hot with anger, though the text leaves the particular provocation elegantly unexplained. The LORD says Pharaoh will not listen, and Moses and Aaron’s wonders have not altered that hard refusal.

    1. Exod 11:1Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt one more plague. After that, he will allow you to leave this place. And when he lets you go, he will drive you out completely.

    2. Exod 11:2Now announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”

    3. Exod 11:3And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.

    4. Exod 11:4So Moses declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt,

    5. Exod 11:5and every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the servant girl behind the hand mill, as well as the firstborn of all the cattle.

    6. Exod 11:6Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again.

    7. Exod 11:7But among all the Israelites, not even a dog will snarl at man or beast.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

    8. Exod 11:8And all these officials of yours will come and bow before me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that, I will depart.” And hot with anger, Moses left Pharaoh’s presence.

    9. Exod 11:9The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”

    10. Exod 11:10Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the Israelites go out of his land.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
