1
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Go[H935] in unto Pharaoh[H6547]: for I have hardened[H3513] his heart[H3820], and the heart[H3820] of his servants[H5650], that I might shew[H7896] these my signs[H226]before[H7130] him:
2
And that thou mayest tell[H5608] in the ears[H241] of thy son[H1121], and of thy son[H1121]'s son[H1121], what things I have wrought[H5953] in Egypt[H4714], and my signs[H226] which I have done[H7760] among them; that ye may know[H3045] how that I am the LORD[H3068].
3
And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] came in[H935] unto Pharaoh[H6547], and said[H559] unto him, Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]God[H430] of the Hebrews[H5680], How long[H4970] wilt thou refuse[H3985] to humble[H6031] thyself before[H6440] me? let my people[H5971]go[H7971], that they may serve[H5647] me.
4Else[H3588], if thou refuse[H3986] to let my people[H5971]go[H7971], behold, to morrow[H4279] will I bring[H935] the locusts[H697] into thy coast[H1366]:
5
And they shall cover[H3680] the face[H5869] of the earth[H776], that one cannot be able[H3201] to see[H7200] the earth[H776]: and they shall eat[H398] the residue[H3499] of that which is escaped[H6413], which remaineth[H7604] unto you from the hail[H1259], and shall eat[H398] every tree[H6086] which groweth[H6779] for you out of the field[H7704]:
6
And they shall fill[H4390] thy houses[H1004], and the houses[H1004] of all thy servants[H5650], and the houses[H1004] of all the Egyptians[H4714]; which neither thy fathers[H1], nor thy fathers[H1]' fathers[H1] have seen[H7200], since the day[H3117] that they were upon the earth[H127] unto this day[H3117]. And he turned[H6437] himself, and went out[H3318] from Pharaoh[H6547].
7
And Pharaoh's servants[H5650]said[H559] unto him, How long shall this man be a snare[H4170] unto us? let the men[H582]go[H7971], that they may serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068] their God[H430]: knowest[H3045] thou not yet[H2962] that Egypt[H4714] is destroyed?[H6]
8
And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] were brought again[H7725] unto Pharaoh[H6547]: and he said[H559] unto them, Go[H3212], serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430]: but who are they that shall go?[H1980]
9
And Moses[H4872]said[H559], We will go[H3212] with our young[H5288] and with our old[H2205], with our sons[H1121] and with our daughters[H1323], with our flocks[H6629] and with our herds[H1241] will we go[H3212]; for we must hold a feast[H2282] unto the LORD[H3068].
10
And he said[H559] unto them, Let the LORD[H3068] be so with you, as I will let you go[H7971], and your little ones[H2945]: look[H7200] to it; for evil[H7451] is before[H6440] you.
11
Not so: go[H3212] now ye that are men[H1397], and serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068]; for that ye did desire[H1245]. And they were driven out[H1644] from Pharaoh's presence[H6440].
12
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Stretch out[H5186] thine hand[H3027] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] for the locusts[H697], that they may come up[H5927] upon the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and eat[H398] every herb[H6212] of the land[H776], even all that the hail[H1259] hath left[H7604].
13
And Moses[H4872] stretched forth[H5186] his rod[H4294] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and the LORD[H3068]brought[H5090] an east[H6921]wind[H7307] upon the land[H776] all that day[H3117], and all that night[H3915]; and when it was morning[H1242], the east[H6921]wind[H7307]brought[H5375] the locusts[H697].
14
And the locusts[H697] went up[H5927] over all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and rested[H5117] in all the coasts[H1366] of Egypt[H4714]: very[H3966]grievous[H3515] were they; before[H6440] them there were no such[H3651]locusts[H697] as they, neither after[H310] them shall be such[H3651].
15
For they covered[H3680] the face[H5869] of the whole earth[H776], so that the land[H776] was darkened[H2821]; and they did eat[H398] every herb[H6212] of the land[H776], and all the fruit[H6529] of the trees[H6086] which the hail[H1259] had left[H3498]: and there remained[H3498] not any green thing[H3418] in the trees[H6086], or in the herbs[H6212] of the field[H7704], through all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
16
Then Pharaoh[H6547]called[H7121] for Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] in haste[H4116]; and he said[H559], I have sinned[H2398] against the LORD[H3068] your God[H430], and against you.
17
Now therefore forgive[H5375], I pray thee, my sin[H2403] only this once[H6471], and intreat[H6279] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430], that he may take away[H5493] from me this death[H4194] only.
18
And he went out[H3318] from Pharaoh[H6547], and intreated[H6279] the LORD[H3068].
19
And the LORD[H3068]turned[H2015] a mighty[H3966]strong[H2389]west[H3220]wind[H7307], which took away[H5375] the locusts[H697], and cast[H8628] them into the Red[H5488]sea[H3220]; there remained[H7604] not one[H259]locust[H697] in all the coasts[H1366] of Egypt[H4714].
20
But the LORD[H3068]hardened[H2388] Pharaoh's heart[H3820], so that he would not let the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]go[H7971].
21
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Stretch out[H5186] thine hand[H3027] toward heaven[H8064], that there may be darkness[H2822] over the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], even darkness[H2822] which may be felt[H4959].
22
And Moses[H4872] stretched forth[H5186] his hand[H3027] toward heaven[H8064]; and there was a thick[H653]darkness[H2822] in all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]three[H7969]days[H3117]:
23
They saw[H7200] not one[H376]another[H251], neither rose[H6965]any[H376] from his place for three[H7969]days[H3117]: but all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] had light[H216] in their dwellings[H4186].
24
And Pharaoh[H6547]called[H7121] unto Moses[H4872], and said[H559], Go[H3212] ye, serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068]; only let your flocks[H6629] and your herds[H1241] be stayed[H3322]: let your little ones[H2945] also go[H3212] with you.
25
And Moses[H4872]said[H559], Thou must give[H5414]us[H3027] also sacrifices[H2077] and burnt offerings[H5930], that we may sacrifice[H6213] unto the LORD[H3068] our God[H430].
26
Our cattle[H4735] also shall go[H3212] with us; there shall not an hoof[H6541] be left behind[H7604]; for thereof must we take[H3947] to serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068] our God[H430]; and we know[H3045] not with what we must serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068], until we come[H935] thither.
27
But the LORD[H3068]hardened[H2388] Pharaoh's heart[H3820], and he would[H14] not let them go[H7971].
28
And Pharaoh[H6547]said[H559] unto him, Get[H3212] thee from me, take heed[H8104] to thyself, see[H7200] my face[H6440] no more[H3254]; for in that day[H3117] thou seest[H7200] my face[H6440] thou shalt die[H4191].
29
And Moses[H4872]said[H559], Thou hast spoken[H1696]well[H3651], I will see[H7200] thy face[H6440]again[H3254] no more.
