What does Exodus 11:1 mean?

This message seems to come to Moses as he stands in front of Pharaoh. Moses had rejected another attempt to negotiate partial freedom for his people. He refused to take only men (Exodus 10:8–11) and he refused to take the people but leave their livestock (Exodus 10:24–26). Pharaoh has responded with a death threat: that Moses will die if the two ever see each other again (Exodus 10:27–28). Moses seems to take this in stride (Exodus 10:29).

Now, the Lord tells Moses that there will be one final plague. This disaster will finally make Pharaoh release the people. In fact, he and the other Egyptians will demand that the Hebrews leave. When he leaves, Moses is to tell the people to ask Egyptians for jewelry (Exodus 11:2–3). The fearsome plagues have deeply affected the Egyptians, who will gladly give their treasures to the Israelites (Exodus 12:35–36).

The first three verses of this chapter focus on the message Moses is to give to the Israelite people. But he is not yet done speaking to Pharaoh (Exodus 11:4).
