1
And the LORD spoke to Moses , Go to Pharaoh , and say to him, Thus saith the LORD , Let my people Go that they may serve me.
2
And if thou shalt 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 thy house , and into thy bed -chamber, and upon thy bed , and into the house of thy servants , and upon thy people, and into thy ovens , and into thy kneading troughs :
4
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants .
5
And the LORD spoke to Moses , Say to Aaron , Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers , and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt .
6
And Aaron stretched 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 , Entreat 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 to the LORD .
9
And Moses said to Pharaoh , Glory over me: when shall I entreat 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 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 to 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 into heaps: and the land was offensive in smell .
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respit, he hardened his heart , and hearkened not to them, as the LORD had said .
16
And the LORD said to Moses , Say to 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 inchantments to bring forth lice , but they could not: so there were lice upon man and upon beast .
19
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh , This is the finger of God : and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said .
20
And the LORD said to Moses , Rise early in the morning , and stand before Pharaoh ; (lo, he cometh forth to the water ) and say to 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 on which 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: entreat for me.
29
And Moses said , Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat 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 entreated 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 .
