Exodus 4:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ The Lord instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, make sure you do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart^[a](A) so that he won’t let the people go. ²² Then you will say to Pharaoh: This is what Yahweh says: Israel is My firstborn son.^{(B) 23} I told you: Let My son go so that he may worship Me, but you refused to let him go. Now I will kill your firstborn son!”^(C)
