[ edit] And þe Lord ſeide to Moyſes, Ȝit wiþ o veniaunce Y ſhal touche Pharao and Egipte, and aftyr þes þingis he ſhal leeue ȝow, and conſtreyne to goon out. Þanne þow ſhalt ſeie to al þe puple, þat a man aſke of his freend, and a womman of hir neiȝbore, ſilueren and goldun veſſels, and cloþis; forſoþe þe Lord ſhal ȝyue grace to his puple befor þe Egipcyens.

And Moyſes was a ful greet man in þe loond of Egipte, before þe ſeruauntis of Pharao and al þe puple; and ſeiþ, Þes þingis ſeiþ þe Lord, At myd nyȝt Y ſhal goon yn to Egipte; and þere ſhulen dye alle þe fyrſt gotun in þe loond of Egipciens, fro þe firſt gotun of Pharao, þat ſittiþ in his ſee, vnto þe firſt gotun of þe handmayden, þat is at þe queern; and alle þe firſt gotun of beeſtis; and þere ſhal be a greet crye in al þe loond of Egipte, what maner was not bifore, ne aftirward is to come. Anentis forſoþe alle þe children of Yrael þere ſhal not grucche a dog, fro man vnto beeſte; þat ȝe knowen, bi how myche myracle þe Lord dyuydide þe Egipciens and Yrael.

And alle þes þi ſeruauntys ſhulen deſcende to me, and þei ſhulen preye for me, ſeyynge, Go out þow, and al þe puple þat is ſuget to þee; after þes þingis we ſhulen goon out. And greetly wrooþ he ȝede out fro Pharao. Þe Lord forſoþe ſeyde to Moyſes, Pharao ſhal not here ȝow, þat many ſignes be doon in þe loond of Egipte. Moyſes forſoþe and Aaron diden alle þe ſignes and alle þe toknes worþi ſhewynge, þat ben wrytun, before Pharao; and þe Lord hardide þe herte of Pharao, ne he lafte þe ſones of Yrael fro his loond.
