1 A nd 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;

Then the Lord said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh and say to him, Thus says the Lord, Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

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

And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite your entire land with frogs;

3 a nd the River hath teemed 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;

And the river shall swarm with frogs which shall go up and come into your house, into your bedchamber and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and upon your people, and into your ovens, your kneading bowls, and your dough.

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

And the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and all your servants.

5 A nd 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.'

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, the streams and canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

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

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

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

But the magicians did the same thing with their enchantments and secret arts, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8 A nd 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.'

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

9 A nd 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?'

Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me in this: dictate when I shall pray for you, your servants, and your people, that the frogs may be destroyed from you and your houses and remain only in the river.

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

And said, Tomorrow. said, Let it be as you say, that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11 a nd 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.'

And the frogs shall depart from you and your houses and from your servants and your people; they shall remain in the river only.

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

So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had brought against him.

13 a nd 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,

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards and villages, and out of the fields.

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

gathered them together in heaps, and the land was loathsome and stank.

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

But when Pharaoh saw that there was temporary relief, he made his heart stubborn and hard and would not listen or heed them, just as the Lord had said.

16 A nd 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.'

Then the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod and strike the dust of the ground, that it may become biting gnats or mosquitoes throughout all the land of Egypt.

17 A nd 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.

And they did so; Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and there came biting gnats or mosquitoes on man and beast; all the dust of the land became biting gnats or mosquitoes throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 A nd 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;

The magicians tried by their enchantments and secret arts to bring forth gnats or mosquitoes, but they could not; and there were gnats or mosquitoes on man and beast.

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

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and strong and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

20 A nd 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;

Then the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes forth to the water; and say to him, Thus says the Lord, Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

21 f or, 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.

Else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms upon you, your servants, and your people, and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms, and also the ground on which they stand.

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 Jehovah in the midst of the land,

But on that day I will sever and set apart the land of Goshen in which My people dwell, that no swarms shall be there, so that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.

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

And I will put a division and a sign of deliverance between My people and your people. By tomorrow shall this sign be in evidence.

24 A nd 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.

And the Lord did so; and there came heavy and oppressive swarms into the house of Pharaoh and his servants’ houses; and in all of Egypt the land was corrupted and ruined by reason of the great invasion.

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

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

26 a nd 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!

And Moses said, It is not suitable or right to do that; for the animals the Egyptians hold sacred and will not permit to be slain are those which we are accustomed to sacrifice to the Lord our God; if we did this before the eyes of the Egyptians, would they 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.'

We will go a three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as He will command us.

28 A nd 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;'

So Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Entreat for me.

29 a nd 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.'

Moses said, I go out from you, and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms may depart from Pharaoh, his servants, and his people tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.

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

So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord.

31 a nd 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;

And the Lord did as Moses had spoken: He removed the swarms from Pharaoh, from his servants, and his people; there remained not one.

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

But Pharaoh hardened his heart and made it stubborn this time also, nor would he let the people go.
