Exodus 4:22
Moses Leaves for Egypt
21The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.22Then tell Pharaoh that this is what the LORD says: ‘Israel is My firstborn son,23and I told you to let My son go so that he may worship Me. But since you have refused to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son!’”
