Exodus 8
- 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, The Lord says this, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
- 2And if you refuse to let them go, I will strike all your borders with frogs:
- 3And the river shall produce frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls:
- 4And the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.
- 5And the Lord spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
- 6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
- 7And the magicians did so with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
- 8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Beg the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people. I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice to the Lord.
- 9And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I beg for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?
- 10And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like to the Lord our God.
- 11And the frogs shall leave you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.
- 12And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
- 13And the Lord did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
- 14And they gathered them together on heaps: and the land stank.
- 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them. As the Lord had said.
- 16And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
- 17And they did so, for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck 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.
- 18And the magicians did so with their secret arts to produce lice, but they could not: so there were lice on man, and on beast.
- 19Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them. As the Lord had said.
- 20And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh. He comes out to the water. Say to him, The Lord says this, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
- 21If you will not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground where they are.
- 22And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people live, that no swarms of flies shall be there. To the end you may know that I am the Lord in the middle of the earth.
- 23And I will put a division between my people and your people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
- 24And the Lord did so. A huge swarm of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted because of the swarm of flies.
- 25And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
- 26And Moses said, It is not fitting so to do. For we shall sacrifice what the Egyptians find disgusting to the Lord our God: shall we sacrifice what the Egyptians find disgusting before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
- 27We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall command us.
- 28And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness. Only you shall not go very far away: beg for me.
- 29And Moses said, I go out from you, and I will beg the Lord that the swarms of flies may leave Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: but do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
- 30And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and begged the Lord.
- 31And the Lord did according to the word of Moses. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, not one remained.
- 32And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
