Exodus 8
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus
saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. [2] And if thou
refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
[3] And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and
come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the
house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy
kneadingtroughs:
[4] And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon
all thy servants.
[5] And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand
with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause
frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. [6] And Aaron stretched out his hand
over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of
Egypt. [7] And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up
frogs upon the land of Egypt.
[8] Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that
he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the
people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. [9] And Moses said unto
Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants,
and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they
may remain in the river only? [10] And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it
according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the
LORD our God. [11] And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses,
and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river
only. [12] And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the
LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. [13] And the
LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses,
out of the villages, and out of the fields. [14] And they gathered them
together upon heaps: and the land stank. [15] But when Pharaoh saw that there
was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD
had said. [16] And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy
rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all
the land of Egypt.
[17] And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote
the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust
of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. [18] And the
magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could
not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. [19] Then the magicians said
unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and
he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
[20] And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith
the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. [21] Else, if thou wilt
not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon
thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the
Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they
are. [22] And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people
dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know
that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. [23] And I will put a division
between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
[24] And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the
house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of
Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies. [25] And
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God
in the land.
[26] And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the
abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
[27] We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the
LORD our God, as he shall command us. [28] And Pharaoh said, I will let you
go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye
shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
[29] And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD
that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from
his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not
letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. [30] And Moses went out from
Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. [31] And the LORD did according to the word
of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants,
and from his people; there remained not one.
[32] And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let
the people go.
Exodus 9
[1] Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
[2] For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, [3] Behold,
the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the
horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep:
there shall be a very grievous murrain. [4] And the LORD shall sever between
the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of
all that is the children's of Israel. [5] And the LORD appointed a set time,
saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
[6] And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. [7] And
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites
dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
[8] And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes
of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of
Pharaoh.
[9] And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a
boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the
land of Egypt.
[10] And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains
upon man, and upon beast.
[11] And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for
the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. [12] And the LORD
hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
spoken unto Moses. [13] And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the
morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God
of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. [14] For I will at
this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and
upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the
earth.
[15] For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. [16] And in very
deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and
that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. [17] As yet exaltest
thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
[18] Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous
hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until
now.
[19] Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the
field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and
shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall
die.
[20] He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made
his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: [21] And he that regarded
not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
[22] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and
upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. [23] And Moses
stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and
the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of
Egypt. [24] So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous,
such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a
nation. [25] And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was
in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field,
and brake every tree of the field.
[26] Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there
no hail.
[27] And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I
have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
[28] Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty
thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. [29]
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall
there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.
[30] But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the
LORD God.
[31] And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear,
and the flax was bolled.
[32] But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
[33] And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands
unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured
upon the earth.
[34] And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were
ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. [35]
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of
Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Exodus 10
[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his
heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before
him:
[2] And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son,
what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among
them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. [3] And Moses and Aaron came in
unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How
long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they
may serve me. [4] Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow
will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
[5] And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see
the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which
remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for
you out of the field:
[6] And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and
the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers'
fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day.
And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. [7] And Pharaoh's servants
said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go,
that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
destroyed? [8] And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he
said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
[9] And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons
and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we
must hold a feast unto the LORD. [10] And he said unto them, Let the LORD be
so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil
is before you. [11] Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for
that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence. [12] And
the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for
the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb
of the land, even all that the hail hath left. [13] And Moses stretched forth
his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the
land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind
brought the locusts. [14] And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt,
and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them
there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. [15] For
they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and
they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the
hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the
herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. [16] Then Pharaoh called
for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your
God, and against you. [17] Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only
this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this
death only. [18] And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. [19]
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts,
and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the
coasts of Egypt.
[20] But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the
children of Israel go.
[21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that
there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
[22] And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick
darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: [23] They saw not one another,
neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel
had light in their dwellings. [24] And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go
ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your
little ones also go with you.
[25] And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings,
that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. [26] Our cattle also shall go
with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to
serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD,
until we come thither. [27] But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he
would not let them go. [28] And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take
heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou
shalt die. [29] And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
again no more.
