Exodus — Capítulo 11

What does it mean to be in a relationship with God, the ultimate being in the universe? How does one establish that relationship? What is that relationship like, and what does it take to stay in it? These are questions that people around the world have been asking since the beginning of time. The book of Exodus provided the ancient Israelites with answers to such questions, revealing not only w…

1Jehová dijo a Moisés: Una plaga traeré aún sobre Faraón y sobre Egipto, después de la cual él os dejará ir de aquí; y seguramente os echará de aquí del todo.

2Habla ahora al pueblo, y que cada uno pida a su vecino, y cada una a su vecina, alhajas de plata y de oro.

3Y Jehová dio gracia al pueblo en los ojos de los egipcios. También Moisés era tenido por gran varón en la tierra de Egipto, a los ojos de los siervos de Faraón, y a los ojos del pueblo.

4Dijo, pues, Moisés: Jehová ha dicho así: A la medianoche yo saldré por en medio de Egipto,

5y morirá todo primogénito en tierra de Egipto, desde el primogénito de Faraón que se sienta en su trono, hasta el primogénito de la sierva que está tras el molino, y todo primogénito de las bestias.

6Y habrá gran clamor por toda la tierra de Egipto, cual nunca hubo, ni jamás habrá.

7Pero contra todos los hijos de Israel, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, ni un perro moverá su lengua, para que sepáis que Jehová hace diferencia entre los egipcios y los israelitas.

8Y descenderán a mí todos estos tus siervos, e inclinados delante de mí dirán: Vete, tú y todo el pueblo que está debajo de ti; y después de esto yo saldré. Y salió muy enojado de la presencia de Faraón.

9Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Faraón no os oirá, para que mis maravillas se multipliquen en la tierra de Egipto.

10Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron todos estos prodigios delante de Faraón; pues Jehová había endurecido el corazón de Faraón, y no envió a los hijos de Israel fuera de su país.

11:1-9 The final plague was the death of the firstborn sons. The Egyptians worshiped life. They gave so much attention to preparations for life after death because they wanted to ensure that it would be at least as good as their lives in Egypt. Death itself is in God’s hand. There is no underworld god who can ultimately defeat the God of life. Both life and death belong to the Lord.

11:3 Pharaoh refused to recognize the truth, but the Lord ensured that the rest of Egypt would recognize it.

11:5 In much of the world, the issue of survival is addressed through children, and it is through the firstborn sons that the family line is carried on. If we have a child, there is a sense of satisfaction that even when we are dead, we will live on through our children. In the death of the Egyptian firstborn, God was showing that humans can do nothing by themselves to guarantee survival. Life is a gift, and that gift is in the hand of the one Lord, the “I Am.”

11:7 As stated explicitly in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth plagues (8:23; 9:6, 26; 10:23), the Lord distinguished between his people and the Egyptians. These events clearly resulted from the express activity of God and were not just a chance collection of natural tragedies.

11:8 Pharaoh had lost control. Moses was no longer asking; he was now in a position to dictate the terms of the Israelites’ departure from the country.
