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 spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, 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 thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders 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 bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house and into thy bedchamber and upon thy bed and into the houses of thy slaves and upon thy people and into thine ovens and into thy kneadingtroughs;

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 upon thee and upon thy people and upon all thy slaves.

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 unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the ponds and cause frogs to come up upon 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;

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

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

And the magicians did the same with their enchantments, 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 unto them, Intreat 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 sacrifice unto 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?'

And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Tell me: when shall I intreat for thee and for thy slaves and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may 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 he said, Tomorrow. And Moses replied, Be it according to thy word, that thou may know that there is none like unto 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 thee and from thy houses and from thy slaves and from thy people; they shall remain only in the river.

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;

Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

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 of the houses, of the villages, and of the fields died.

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

And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land was corrupted.

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 respite, he hardened his heart and did not hearken unto them 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 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 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; 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 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;

And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon 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 unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them 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;

¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes forth to the water and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, 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.

For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee and upon thy slaves and upon thy people and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of all kinds of flies and also the ground upon 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 Jehovah in the midst of the land,

And I will separate in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no kind of flies shall be there to the end that thou 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 redemption between my people and thy people. Tomorrow shall this sign be.

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: that there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his slaves’ houses and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

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

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land of Egypt.

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 replied, It is not convenient to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will 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 three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he has said unto 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;'

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; pray 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.'

And Moses answered, Behold, as I go out from thy presence, I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people tomorrow; if Pharaoh will not 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,

Then Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto 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 according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people; there remained not one.

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

And Pharaoh even hardened his heart this time and did not let the people go.
