Exo 11:4-6 | MHM | STEP | Exodus 11:4−10: The Plagues of Egypt – The Death of the Firstborn Foretold In these verses, Moses warns Pharaoh about the final and most serious plague—the death of all the firstborn in Egypt. This plague will strike everyone, from the highest to the lowest, including animals. The Israelites, however, will be protected and not even a dog will bark at them. Moses explains that after this plague, Pharaoh’s officials will come and beg the Israelites to leave. Even with this strong warning, God knows Pharaoh will not listen, so that His wonders may be shown even more in Egypt. Moses leaves Pharaoh in anger because Pharaoh’s stubbornness will bring great suffering to the land. v. 4-6 : Moses announces that around midnight, God Himself will go through Egypt and kill all the firstborn, from Pharaoh’s son to the firstborn of slaves and animals. There will be a great cry in Egypt, worse than anything before or after. This shows how serious God’s judgment is when people continue to resist Him ( v. 4-6; Exodus 4:23 ).
