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, 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 unto the LORD.

⁹ And Moses said unto 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 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: 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.

¹ And the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H559 unto Moses, ^H4872 Go ^H935 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 and say ^H559 unto him, Thus saith ^H559 the LORD, ^H3068 Let my people ^H5971 go, ^H7971 that they may serve ^H5647 me.

² And if thou refuse ^H3986 to let them go, ^H7971 behold, I will smite ^H5062 all thy borders ^H1366 with frogs: ^H6854

³ And the river ^H2975 shall bring forth ^H8317 frogs ^H6854 abundantly, ^H8317 which shall go up ^H5927 and come ^H935 into thine house, ^H1004 and into thy bedchamber, ^{H2315 H4904} and upon thy bed, ^H4296 and into the house ^H1004 of thy servants, ^H5650 and upon thy people, ^H5971 and into thine ovens, ^H8574 and into thy kneadingtroughs: ^H4863

⁴ And the frogs ^H6854 shall come up ^H5927 both on thee, and upon thy people, ^H5971 and upon all thy servants. ^H5650

⁵ And the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H559 unto Moses, ^H4872 Say ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 Stretch forth ^H5186 thine hand ^H3027 with thy rod ^H4294 over the streams, ^H5104 over the rivers, ^H2975 and over the ponds, ^H98 and cause frogs ^H6854 to come up ^H5927 upon the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

⁶ And Aaron ^H175 stretched out ^H5186 his hand ^H3027 over the waters ^H4325 of Egypt; ^H4714 and the frogs ^H6854 came up, ^H5927 and covered ^H3680 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

⁷ And the magicians ^H2748 did ^H6213 so with their enchantments, ^H3909 and brought up ^H5927 frogs ^H6854 upon the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

⁸ Then Pharaoh ^H6547 called ^H7121 for Moses ^H4872 and Aaron, ^H175 and said, ^H559 Intreat ^H6279 the LORD, ^H3068 that he may take away ^H5493 the frogs ^H6854 from me, and from my people; ^H5971 and I will let the people ^H5971 go, ^H7971 that they may do sacrifice ^H2076 unto the LORD. ^H3068

⁹ And Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 Glory ^H6286 over me: when ^H4970 shall I intreat ^H6279 for thee, and for thy servants, ^H5650 and for thy people, ^H5971 to destroy ^H3772 the frogs ^H6854 from thee and thy houses, ^H1004 that they may remain ^H7604 in the river ^H2975 only?

¹⁰ And he said, ^H559 To morrow. ^H4279 And he said, ^H559 Be it according to thy word: ^H1697 that thou mayest know ^H3045 that there is none like unto the LORD ^H3068 our God. ^H430

¹¹ And the frogs ^H6854 shall depart ^H5493 from thee, and from thy houses, ^H1004 and from thy servants, ^H5650 and from thy people; ^H5971 they shall remain ^H7604 in the river ^H2975 only.

¹² And Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 went out ^H3318 from Pharaoh: ^H6547 and Moses ^H4872 cried ^H6817 unto the LORD ^H3068 because of ^H1697 the frogs ^H6854 which he had brought ^H7760 against Pharaoh. ^H6547

¹³ And the LORD ^H3068 did ^H6213 according to the word ^H1697 of Moses; ^H4872 and the frogs ^H6854 died ^H4191 out of the houses, ^H1004 out of the villages, ^H2691 and out of the fields. ^H7704

¹⁴ And they gathered them together ^H6651 upon heaps: ^H2563 and the land ^H776 stank. ^H887

¹⁵ But when Pharaoh ^H6547 saw ^H7200 that there was respite, ^H7309 he hardened ^H3513 his heart, ^H3820 and hearkened ^H8085 not unto them; as the LORD ^H3068 had said. ^H1696

¹⁶ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Moses, ^H4872 Say ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 Stretch out ^H5186 thy rod, ^H4294 and smite ^H5221 the dust ^H6083 of the land, ^H776 that it may become lice ^H3654 throughout all the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

¹⁷ And they did ^H6213 so; for Aaron ^H175 stretched out ^H5186 his hand ^H3027 with his rod, ^H4294 and smote ^H5221 the dust ^H6083 of the earth, ^H776 and it became lice ^H3654 in man, ^H120 and in beast; ^H929 all the dust ^H6083 of the land ^H776 became lice ^H3654 throughout all the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

¹⁸ And the magicians ^H2748 did ^H6213 so with their enchantments ^H3909 to bring forth ^H3318 lice, ^H3654 but they could ^H3201 not: so there were lice ^H3654 upon man, ^H120 and upon beast. ^H929

¹⁹ Then the magicians ^H2748 said ^H559 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 This is the finger ^H676 of God: ^H430 and Pharaoh's ^H6547 heart ^H3820 was hardened, ^H2388 and he hearkened ^H8085 not unto them; as the LORD ^H3068 had said. ^H1696

²⁰ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Moses, ^H4872 Rise up early ^H7925 in the morning, ^H1242 and stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 Pharaoh; ^H6547 lo, he cometh forth ^H3318 to the water; ^H4325 and say ^H559 unto him, Thus saith ^H559 the LORD, ^H3068 Let my people ^H5971 go, ^H7971 that they may serve ^H5647 me.

²¹ Else, if thou wilt not let my people ^H5971 go, ^H7971 behold, I will send ^H7971 swarms ^H6157 of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, ^H5650 and upon thy people, ^H5971 and into thy houses: ^H1004 and the houses ^H1004 of the Egyptians ^H4714 shall be full ^H4390 of swarms ^H6157 of flies, and also the ground ^H127 whereon they are.

²² And I will sever ^H6395 in that day ^H3117 the land ^H776 of Goshen, ^H1657 in which my people ^H5971 dwell, ^H5975 that no ^H1115 swarms ^H6157 of flies shall be ^H1961 there; to the end ^H4616 thou mayest know ^H3045 that I am the LORD ^H3068 in the midst ^H7130 of the earth. ^H776

²³ And I will put ^H7760 a division ^H6304 between my people ^H5971 and thy people: ^H5971 to morrow ^H4279 shall this sign ^H226 be.

²⁴ And the LORD ^H3068 did ^H6213 so; and there came ^H935 a grievous ^H3515 swarm ^H6157 of flies into the house ^H1004 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 and into his servants' ^H5650 houses, ^H1004 and into all the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714 the land ^H776 was corrupted ^H7843 by reason ^H6440 of the swarm ^H6157 of flies.

²⁵ And Pharaoh ^H6547 called ^H7121 for ^H413 Moses ^H4872 and for Aaron, ^H175 and said, ^H559 Go ^H3212 ye, sacrifice ^H2076 to your God ^H430 in the land. ^H776

²⁶ And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 It is not meet ^H3559 so to do; ^H6213 for ^H2005 we shall sacrifice ^H2076 the abomination ^H8441 of the Egyptians ^H4714 to the LORD ^H3068 our God: ^H430 lo, shall we sacrifice ^H2076 the abomination ^H8441 of the Egyptians ^H4714 before their eyes, ^H5869 and will they not stone ^H5619 us?

²⁷ We will go ^H3212 three ^H7969 days' ^H3117 journey ^H1870 into the wilderness, ^H4057 and sacrifice ^H2076 to the LORD ^H3068 our God, ^H430 as he shall command ^H559 us.

²⁸ And Pharaoh ^H6547 said, ^H559 I will let you go, ^H7971 that ye may sacrifice ^H2076 to the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 in the wilderness; ^H4057 only ye shall not go ^H3212 very ^H7368 far away: ^H7368 intreat ^H6279 for me. ^H1157

²⁹ And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 Behold, I go out ^H3318 from thee, and I will intreat ^H6279 the LORD ^H3068 that the swarms ^H6157 of flies may depart ^H5493 from Pharaoh, ^H6547 from his servants, ^H5650 and from his people, ^H5971 to morrow: ^H4279 but ^H7535 let not Pharaoh ^H6547 deal deceitfully ^H2048 any more ^H3254 in not ^H1115 letting the people ^H5971 go ^H7971 to sacrifice ^H2076 to the LORD. ^H3068

³⁰ And Moses ^H4872 went out ^H3318 from Pharaoh, ^H6547 and intreated ^H6279 the LORD. ^H3068

³¹ And the LORD ^H3068 did ^H6213 according to the word ^H1697 of Moses; ^H4872 and he removed ^H5493 the swarms ^H6157 of flies from Pharaoh, ^H6547 from his servants, ^H5650 and from his people; ^H5971 there remained ^H7604 not one. ^H259

³² And Pharaoh ^H6547 hardened ^H3513 his heart ^H3820 at this time ^H6471 also, neither would he let the people ^H5971 go. ^H7971

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.

---

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh: and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and they serve Me;

² and if thou art refusing to send away, lo, I am smiting all thy border with frogs;

³ and the River hath teemed `with' frogs, and they have gone up and gone into thy house, and into the inner-chamber of thy bed, and on thy couch, and into the house of thy servants, and among thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs;

⁴ yea, on thee, and on thy people, and on all thy servants do the frogs go up.'

⁵ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand, with thy rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.'

⁶ And Aaron stretcheth out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog cometh up, and covereth the land of Egypt;

⁷ and the scribes do so with their flashings, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.

⁸ And Pharaoh calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, `Make supplication unto Jehovah, that he turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to Jehovah.'

⁹ And Moses saith to Pharaoh, `Beautify thyself over me; when do I make supplication for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses -- only in the River they do remain?'

¹⁰ and he saith, `To-morrow.' And he saith, According to thy word `it is', so that thou knowest that there is none like Jehovah our God,

¹¹ and the frogs have turned aside from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in the River they do remain.'

¹² And Moses -- Aaron also -- goeth out from Pharaoh, and Moses crieth unto Jehovah, concerning the matter of the frogs which He hath set on Pharaoh;

¹³ and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,

¹⁴ and they heap them up together, and the land stinketh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh seeth that there hath been a respite, and he hath hardened his heart, and hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁶ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, and it hath become gnats in all the land of Egypt.'

¹⁷ And they do so, and Aaron stretcheth out his hand with his rod, and smiteth the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land hath been gnats in all the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ And the scribes do so with their flashings, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;

¹⁹ and the scribes say unto Pharaoh, `It `is' the finger of God;' and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

²⁰ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Rise early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo, he is going out to the waters, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and they serve Me;

²¹ for, if thou art not sending My people away, lo, I am sending against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.

²² `And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that thou knowest that I `am' Jehovah in the midst of the land,

²³ and I have put a division between My people and thy people: to-morrow is this sign.'

²⁴ And Jehovah doth so, and the grievous beetle entereth the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.

²⁵ And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and to Aaron, and saith, `Go, sacrifice to your God in the land;'

²⁶ and Moses saith, `Not right to do so, for the abomination of the Egyptians we do sacrifice to Jehovah our God; lo, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes -- and they do not stone us!

²⁷ A journey of three days we go into the wilderness, and have sacrificed to Jehovah our God, as He saith unto us.'

²⁸ And Pharaoh saith, `I send you away, and ye have sacrificed to Jehovah your God in the wilderness, only go not very far off; make ye supplication for me;'

²⁹ and Moses saith, `Lo, I am going out from thee, and have made supplication unto Jehovah, and the beetle hath turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people -- to-morrow, only let not Pharaoh add to deceive -- in not sending the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.'

³⁰ And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,

³¹ and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and turneth aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people -- there hath not been left one;

³² and Pharaoh hardeneth his heart also at this time, and hath not sent the people away.

¹ And Jehovah said to Moses, Go 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, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, 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 bondmen.

⁵ And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff 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 out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

⁷ And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

⁸ And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.

⁹ And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?

¹⁰ And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God.

¹¹ And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.

¹² And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against 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 in heaps; and the land stank.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.

¹⁶ And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

¹⁷ And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.

¹⁹ Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.

²⁰ And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh -- behold, he will go out to the water -- and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

²¹ For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.

²² And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.

²³ And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.

²⁴ And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.

²⁵ And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.

²⁶ And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would 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 you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!

²⁹ And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, 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 intreated Jehovah.

³¹ And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.

³² And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what Yahweh says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.

² If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs:

³ and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs:

⁴ and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"

⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"

⁶ Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

⁷ The magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

⁸ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh."

⁹ Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."

¹⁰ He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God.

¹¹ The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."

¹² Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

¹³ Yahweh 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 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

¹⁵ But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn't listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

¹⁶ Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"

¹⁷ They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ The magicians tried with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.

¹⁹ Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he didn't listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.

²⁰ Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.

²¹ Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, 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 whereon they are.

²² 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 you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the earth.

²³ I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"

²⁴ Yahweh 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 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!"

²⁶ Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?

²⁷ We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command us."

²⁸ Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."

²⁹ Moses said, "Behold, I go out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don't let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh."

³⁰ Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.

³¹ Yahweh 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 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn't let the people go.

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.
