Exodus 4:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Then the Lord told Moses, “When you set out to return to Egypt, keep in mind[a] all the wonders that I’ve put in your power,[b] so that you may do them before Pharaoh. But I’ll harden his heart so that he won’t let the people go. 22 You are to say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Israel is my firstborn son. 23 And I say to you, ‘Let my son go so he may serve me. If you refuse to let him go, then I will kill your firstborn son.’”’”
