I-Eksodusi 11:1-10

USimakade wathi kuMose: “Ngizoletha enye futhi inhlupheko phezu kukaFaro naphezu kweGibhithe; emveni kwalokho uzonivumela ukuba nihambe lapha. Lapho enivumela uzakunixosha nokunixosha. Ngakho-ke tshela abantu ukuthi yilowo nalowo wesilisa makacele kumakhelwane wakhe, nabesifazane bacele komakhelwane babo izimpahla zesiliva nezegolide.” USimakade wabenzela umusa abantu phambi kwabaseGibhithe. Ngaphezu kwalokho uMose uqobo wayeyindoda eqavileyo eGibhithe, naphambi kwezinceku zikaFaro, naphambi kwabantu. UMose wathi: “Usho kanje uSimakade: ‘Phakathi kwamabili ngizodabula kulo lonke iGibhithe. Wonke amazibulo eGibhithe azokufa, kusukela ezibulweni likaFaro ohleli esihlalweni sobukhosi kuya ezibulweni elizalwa ngowesifazane oyisigqila ogwedla isigayo, nawo wonke amazibulo emfuyo. Kuzokuba nesililo esikhulu, esingakaze sibe khona, futhi esingayukuphinde sibe khona kulo lonke iGibhithe. Kepha ngasohlangothini lwabakwa-Israyeli akukho muntu nasilwane okuzokufa, ngisho inja imbala ayiyukugwavumela muntu namfuyo, ukuze nazi ukuthi uSimakade wehlukanisile phakathi kwabaseGibhithe nabakwa-Israyeli.’ Ngakho-ke zonke lezi zikhulu zizokuza kimi, zingikhothamele, zithi: ‘Hamba wena nabantu bonke abakulandelayo.’ Emveni kwalokho ngizohamba.” Waphuma wamshiya uFaro evutha bhe wulaka. USimakade wathi kuMose: “UFaro ngeke akulalele ukuze izimangaliso zami ziphindaphindwe eGibhithe.” UMose no-Aroni bazenza zonke lezo zimangaliso phambi kukaFaro, kodwa uSimakade wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, akabavumelanga abantu bakwa-Israyeli ukuba baphume ezweni lakhe.
