Exodus 11 - Introduction

A.M. 2513. B.C. 1491.

Pharaoh had bid Moses get out of his presence, Exodus 10:28, and Moses had promised this should be the last time he would trouble him, yet he resolves to say out what he had to say, before he left him. Accordingly we have in this chapter,

(1,) The instructions God had given to Moses, which he was now to pursue, Exodus 11:1, together with the interest Israel and Moses had in the esteem of the Egyptians, Exodus 11:3.

(2,) The last message Moses delivered to Pharaoh, concerning the death of the firstborn, Exodus 11:4.

(3,) A repetition of the prediction of Pharaoh's hardening his heart, Exodus 11:9, and the event answering it, Exodus 11:10.
