Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Go to
Pharaoh ,
for I have hardened his heart and the hearts
of his officials
, that I may perform
these miraculous
signs of Mine
among
them,
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Go in
unto
Pharaoh :
for I have hardened his heart ,
and the heart
of his servants
, that I may show
these my
signs in
the
midst
of them,
and that you
may
tell your
children
and
grandchildren
how
severely
I
dealt
with
the Egyptians
when
I performed
miraculous
signs among them ,
so
that all
of
you
may know that I am the
LORD
. ”
and that thou
mayest
tell in
the ears
of
thy
son,
and
of
thy
son's
son,
what
things
I have
wrought
upon
Egypt,
and
my
signs which
I
have
done
among them ;
that ye
may know that I am Jehovah
.
So
Moses and Aaron went to
Pharaoh and told
him, “This
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of the Hebrews, says:
‘
How long will
you
refuse to humble yourself
before Me? Let My people go, so
that they may worship
Me.
And
Moses and Aaron went in
unto
Pharaoh ,
and said
unto
him, Thus
saith
Jehovah
, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt
thou
refuse to humble thyself
before me? let my people go, that they may serve
me.
But
if you
refuse to let My people go, I
will bring locusts into your
territory
tomorrow.
Else,
if thou
refuse to let my people go, behold,
to-morrow
will I
bring locusts into thy
border:
They will
cover the face of the land
so that no
one can
see it.
They will
devour
whatever
is left
after
the hail and eat every tree that
grows
in
your
fields.
and
they shall
cover the face of the earth,
so that one shall
not
be
able
to
see the
earth:
and
they shall
eat
the
residue
of
that
which
is escaped,
which
remaineth
unto
you
from
the hail ,
and shall
eat every tree which
groweth
for
you
out
of
the
field:
They
will
fill
your
houses and the houses of all your
officials
and every
Egyptian—something
neither your
fathers nor your
grandfathers
have seen since the day they came
into
this land
. ’”
Then
Moses
turned and left
Pharaoh’s
presence
.
and
thy
houses shall
be
filled,
and the houses of all thy
servants,
and the
houses
of
all
the
Egyptians;
as
neither thy
fathers nor thy
fathers'
fathers
have seen ,
since the day that
they were
upon
the
earth
unto
this day
. And
he
turned ,
and went
out
from
Pharaoh
.
Pharaoh’s
officials
asked
him, “
How long will
this man be a snare to
us? Let the people
go, so
that they may worship
the
LORD
their God .
Do
you
not yet realize
that Egypt is in
ruins
? ”
And
Pharaoh's
servants
said
unto
him, How long shall
this man be a snare unto
us? let the men
go, that they may serve
Jehovah
their God :
knowest
thou
not yet that Egypt is destroyed
?
So
Moses and Aaron were brought back
to
Pharaoh .
“
Go, worship
the
LORD
your God ,”
he
said.
“
But who exactly
will
be
going
? ”
And
Moses and Aaron were brought again
unto
Pharaoh :
and
he
said
unto
them,
Go, serve
Jehovah
your God ;
but who are
they
that
shall
go
?
“
We will go with our young and old ,”
Moses
replied.
“We
will
go
with our sons and daughters, and
with our flocks and herds ,
for we must hold a feast to
the
LORD
. ”
And
Moses
said,
We will go with our young and with
our
old ;
with our sons and with
our
daughters, with our flocks and with
our
herds will
we
go;
for we must hold a feast unto
Jehovah
.
Then
Pharaoh
told
them, “May
the
LORD
be with you if
I ever
let you go with
your little ones .
Clearly
you
are
bent
on
evil.
And
he
said
unto
them, So
be Jehovah
with you ,
as
I will
let you go ,
and
your little ones :
look
to
it;
for
evil is
before
you
.
No,
only
the
men
may
go and
worship
the
LORD
, since
that is what you
have
been
requesting
. ”
And Moses
and
Aaron
were driven from Pharaoh’s
presence.
Not
so:
go now
ye
that
are
men
, and
serve
Jehovah;
for
that is what ye
desire
. And they
were driven out
from Pharaoh's
presence.
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Stretch out your
hand over the land of Egypt ,
so
that
the locusts may swarm
over
it
and devour
every plant
in
the land —everything
that the hail has
left behind
. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Stretch out thy
hand over the land of Egypt for
the locusts ,
that
they
may come
up
upon
the
land
of
Egypt,
and eat
every herb
of
the land ,
even
all
that the hail hath
left.
So
Moses stretched out
his staff
over the land of Egypt, and throughout
that
day
and
night
the
LORD
sent
an east wind across
the land .
By
morning the east wind had
brought the locusts.
And
Moses stretched forth
his rod
over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah
brought
an east wind upon
the land all
that
day,
and
all
the
night;
and
when
it
was
morning ,
the east wind brought the locusts.
The locusts swarmed
across
the land and settled
over
the entire
territory
of Egypt .
Never
before had
there been
so
many
locusts, and
never
again
will
there
be.
And
the locusts went
up
over
all
the land of
Egypt,
and rested
in
all
the borders
of Egypt ;
very
grievous
were
they;
before them
there were
no
such
locusts as
they
, neither
after
them
shall
be such
.
They covered the face of all
the land until
it
was black,
and they consumed
all
the
plants
on
the ground
and all the fruit on
the trees that
the hail had left behind.
Nothing
green
was
left
on
any tree or plant
in
all the land of Egypt.
For
they covered the face of the whole
earth,
so
that
the
land was darkened;
and they did
eat
every
herb
of
the land,
and all the fruit of
the trees which
the hail had left :
and
there
remained
not
any green
thing,
either
tree or herb
of
the
field,
through
all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh quickly
summoned
Moses and Aaron and said, “
I have sinned against the
LORD
your God and against you.
Then
Pharaoh called
for
Moses and Aaron in
haste;
and he
said, I have sinned against Jehovah
your God ,
and against you.
Now please
forgive my sin once more
and appeal
to
the
LORD
your God, that He may remove
this
death
from me. ”
Now therefore
forgive ,
I
pray
thee,
my sin only
this
once ,
and entreat
Jehovah
your God, that he may take
away
from me this
death
only
.
So
Moses
left
Pharaoh’s
presence
and appealed
to
the
LORD
.
And he
went
out
from
Pharaoh,
and
entreated
Jehovah
.
And the
LORD
changed
the
wind
to
a
very
strong west wind that
carried
off
the locusts and blew
them into the Red Sea .
Not a
single
locust remained
anywhere
in Egypt.
And Jehovah
turned
an
exceeding
strong west wind ,
which
took
up
the locusts ,
and drove
them into the Red Sea ;
there
remained
not one
locust in all
the
border
of
Egypt.
But the
LORD
hardened Pharaoh’s
heart, and he would
not let the Israelites
go.
But Jehovah
hardened Pharaoh's
heart, and he did
not let the children
of
Israel
go.
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Stretch out your
hand toward heaven, so
that darkness
may spread
over the land of Egypt —a
palpable
darkness. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Stretch out thy
hand toward heaven, that there
may be
darkness
over the land of Egypt ,
even
darkness which
may
be
felt
.
So
Moses stretched out
his hand toward heaven ,
and total
darkness covered
all the land of Egypt for
three days .
And
Moses stretched forth
his hand toward heaven ;
and there
was
a
thick
darkness in
all the land of Egypt three days ;
No
one could
see
anyone
else
, and
for
three
days
no
one left
his place .
Yet
all the Israelites
had light in their dwellings.
they
saw
not
one another
, neither
rose
any
one from
his place for
three
days:
but
all the children
of
Israel
had light in their dwellings.
Then
Pharaoh summoned
Moses and said, “
Go, worship
the
LORD.
Even
your
little
ones
may
go
with
you
; only your flocks and herds must
stay
behind
. ”
And
Pharaoh called
unto
Moses ,
and said, Go ye
, serve
Jehovah
; only let
your flocks and your
herds be
stayed:
let
your
little
ones
also
go
with
you
.
But
Moses replied
, “You
must also provide
us
with
sacrifices and burnt offerings to
present
to
the
LORD
our God.
And
Moses said
, Thou
must also give
into
our
hand
sacrifices and burnt -
offerings ,
that
we
may
sacrifice
unto
Jehovah
our God.
Even
our livestock
must
go with us; not a hoof will
be left behind ,
for we will
need
some
of
them
to worship
the
LORD
our God ,
and we will
not
know how
we are
to
worship
the
LORD
until we arrive
. ”
Our cattle
also
shall
go with us; there
shall
not a hoof be left behind :
for thereof
must
we take
to serve
Jehovah
our God ;
and we know not
with
what
we must
serve
Jehovah,
until we come
thither
.
But the
LORD
hardened Pharaoh’s
heart, and he was
unwilling
to
let them go.
But Jehovah
hardened Pharaoh's
heart, and he would
not
let them go.
“Depart
from
me!”
Pharaoh said to Moses.
“Make
sure
you
never
see my face again,
for on
the day you
see
my face ,
you
will
die. ”
And
Pharaoh said unto
him,
Get
thee
from
me,
take
heed
to thyself,
see my face no
more;
for in
the day thou
seest
my face thou
shalt
die.
“As
you
say,”
Moses replied
, “
I will never
see your
face again. ”
And
Moses said
, Thou
hast
spoken
well.
I will see thy
face again no
more
.
