1
And this is what the Lord said to Moses : Go to Pharaoh and say to him, the Lord says , Let my people Go so that they may give me worship.
2
And if you will not let them go , see , I will send frogs into every part of your land:
3
The Nile will be full of frogs , and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed , and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.
4
The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants .
5
And the Lord said to Moses , Say to Aaron , Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt .
6
And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt , the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.
7
And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt .
8
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said , Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord .
9
And Moses said , I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses , and be only in the Nile .
10
And he said , By tomorrow . And he said , Let it be as you say : so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God .
11
And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile .
12
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh ; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh .
13
And the Lord did as Moses said ; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields .
14
And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land .
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said .
16
And the Lord said to Moses , Say to Aaron , Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt .
17
And they did so; and Aaron , stretching out the rod in his hand , gave a touch to the dust of the earth , and insects came on man and on beast ; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt .
18
And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast .
19
Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh , This is the finger of God : but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said .
20
And the Lord said to Moses , Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water ; and say to him, This is what the Lord says : Let my people go to give me worship.
21
For if you do not let my people go , see , I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses ; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies .
22
And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth .
23
And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen .
24
And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants ' houses , and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies .
25
And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said , Go and make your offering to your God here in the land .
26
And Moses said , It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes , certainly we will be stoned .
27
But we will go three days ' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.
28
Then Pharaoh said , I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.
29
And Moses said , When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow : only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord .
30
Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord .
31
And the Lord did as Moses said , and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen .
32
But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go .
