Pharaoh continued to disobey God. So God commanded Moses to go
out and stretch his hand toward heaven that there might be darkness
over the land of Egypt.
Moses obeyed God and it became so dark that people could not see
each other or go out of their houses. The darkness lasted three
days. When it was over, Pharaoh called for Moses.
Pharaoh told Moses that all of the people could go out and worship
God. Moses told Pharaoh that they would need to take all of their
livestock also. Then Pharaoh became angry and refused to let them
go with their animals. And Pharaoh said that Moses could never come
to see him again.
Then Moses told Pharaoh that there would be one final plague after
which he would let them leave Egypt with everything they own. Moses
told Pharaoh that God would go out at midnight into the midst of
Egypt and kill every person and animal that was firstborn. Moses
said that God would not hurt any of the Israelites but only the
Egyptians.
God told Moses that Pharaoh would not heed his word. And Moses
and Aaron continued to obey the Lord.
