Expanded Bible

²¹ The Lord said to Moses, “When you get back to Egypt, do all the miracles I have ·given you the power to do [^Lset in our hand]. Show them to ·the king of Egypt [^LPharaoh]. But I will ·make the king very stubborn [^Lharden his heart], and he will not let the people go. ²² Then say to ·the king [^LPharaoh], ‘·This is what [Thus] the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son [^Cthe privileged child]. ²³ I told you to let my son go so he may ·worship [serve] me. But you refused to let Israel go, so I will kill your firstborn son [11:1–10].’”
