Exodus 11

Exo 11:1

"The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country" (Exo 12:30-33). Pharaoh was not worried any longer about concessions.

Exo 11:2

ASK: AV has "borrow", but no hint that the items would be returned. Sb "ask" or "demand". Nothing immoral; this was reparation for arduous service over 200 years (cp Exo 3:22; 12:35). "He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive" (Psa 106:46).

Exo 11:3

Moses gave up riches of Egypt -- prob the throne too (Heb 11:26). Only a great man would do such a thing!

PHARAOH'S OFFICIALS: The magicians, or wizards, who could not duplicate his miracles.

Exo 11:5

The "firstborn" must die; "put off the old man". More punishment upon the gods of Egypt: frog, cattle, crocodile, etc. All creation, because of sin, suffers.

Exo 11:7

MAKES A DISTINCTION: See Exo 8:22n.
