28 Then the Israelites went and did just as the Lord had told Moses and Aaron.29 At midnight the Lord killed every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the jail, and also all the firstborn of the livestock.30 Pharaoh got up during the night, as well as all his officials and all the Egyptians. There were loud cries of agony throughout Egypt, because there wasn't a single house where someone hadn't died.31 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron during the night and told them, “Get out of here! Leave my people, the two of you and the Israelites! Go, so you can worship the Lord as you have asked.32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just like you've said, and leave! Oh, and bless me too.”

33 The Egyptians urged the Israelites to leave their country as quickly as possible, saying, “Otherwise we'll all die!”34 So the Israelites picked up their dough before it had risen, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.35 In addition, the Israelites did what Moses had told them and asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and gold, and for clothing.36 The Lord had made the Egyptians look so favorably on the Israelites that they agreed to their request. In this way they took the wealth of the Egyptians.
