1
And Jehovah spake unto Moses , Go in unto Pharaoh , and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah , 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 swarm with frogs , which shall go up and come into thy 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 kneading-troughs:
4
and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants .
5
And Jehovah said unto Moses , Say unto Aaron , Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers , over the streams, and over the pools, 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 in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt .
8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron , and said , Entreat Jehovah , that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go , that they may sacrifice unto Jehovah .
9
And Moses said unto Pharaoh , Have thou this glory over me: against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants , and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses , and remain in the river only?
10
And he said , Against to-morrow . And he said , Be it according to thy word ; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto Jehovah 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 Jehovah concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh .
13
And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses ; and the frogs died out of the houses , out of the courts , and out of the fields .
14
And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank .
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart , and hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken .
16
And Jehovah said unto Moses , Say unto Aaron , Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth , that is may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt .
17
And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth , and there were lice upon man, and upon beast ; all the dust of the earth 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: and 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 Jehovah had spoken .
20
And Jehovah 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 Jehovah , 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 they 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 set apart 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 Jehovah in the midst of the earth .
23
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: by to-morrow shall this sign be.
24
And Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh , and into his servants ' houses : and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah our God , as he shall command us .
28
And Pharaoh said , I will let you go , that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness ; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.
29
And Moses said , Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh , from his servants , and from his people, to-morrow : only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah .
30
And Moses went out from Pharaoh , and entreated Jehovah .
31
And Jehovah 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 this time also, and he did not let the people go .
