Measure for Measure

So thorough and devastating will God's action be that the Egyptians will beg the Israelites to leave. Moreover, they will be favorably disposed toward them, "so that God's people will leave with more than what they came with. Now it will be Egypt's turn to "cry" because of THEIR oppression (echo of Ex 3:7). Among the Israelites, however, not even a barking dog will be heard. The tenth plague is clearly a "measure-for-measure" punishment.
