18. They will listen to what you say. Then you, along with the elders of Israel, must go to the king of Egypt and say to him: Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go on a three-day trip into the wilderness so that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.
19. “However, I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go, unless he is forced by a strong hand.
20. I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles that I will perform in it. After that, he will let you go.
21. And I will give these people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
22. Each woman will ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry, and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
