and I told you,“ Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”

I told you,‘ Let my son go. Then he will be able to worship me.’ But you refused to let him go. So I will kill your oldest son.” ’ ”

and I say to you,“ Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”

I told you: Let my son go so that he may worship me, but you refused to let him go. Look, I am about to kill your firstborn son!”

So I said to you,‘ Let My son go so that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I am going to kill your son, your firstborn.” ’ ”

So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.”’”

and I have said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou hast refused to let him go: behold, I will slay thy son, thy first- born.

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!”

And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son,[ even] thy firstborn.

and I said to you,‘ Let my son go that he may serve me,’ but since you have refused to let him go, I will surely kill your son, your firstborn!”’”

and I have said to you,“ Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”

All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest servant girl who grinds the flour. Even the firstborn of all the livestock will die.

And that night at midnight, the Lord struck down all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn son of the prisoner in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed.

He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals.

Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.

He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.

After this presentation to Israel’s leaders, Moses and Aaron went and spoke to Pharaoh. They told him,“ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Let my people go so they may hold a festival in my honor in the wilderness.”

Then announce to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you,“ Let my people go, so they can worship me in the wilderness.” Until now, you have refused to listen to him.
