“The elders of Israel will accept your message. Then you and the elders must go to the king of Israel and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So please let us take a thee-day journey into the wilderness and offer sacrifices to the Lord, our God.’
“But you know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a might hand forces him. So I will raise My hand and strike the Egyptians, performing all kinds of miracles among them. Then at last he will let you go. And I will cause the Egyptians to look favorably upon you. They will give you gifts when you so so you will not go empty-handed. Every Israelite woman will ask for articles of silver and gold and fine clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and from foreign women in their houses.You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of the wealth.” (v 18-22, NLT)
