1

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Goh935 to Pharaohh6547, for  aI have  1hardenedh3513 his hearth3820 and the hearth3820 of his servantsh5650, that I may  2performh7896 theseh428 signsh226 of Mine  3amongh7130 them,

2

and  athat you may tellh5608 in the  1hearingh241 of your sonh1121, and of your grandsonh1121, howh854h834 I madeh5953a a mockeryh5953a of the Egyptiansh4714 and howh834 I  2performedh7760 My signsh226 among them,  bthat you may knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068."

3

Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175 wenth935 to Pharaohh6547 and saidh559 to him, "Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of the Hebrewsh5680, `Howh4970 longh5704h4970 will you refuseh3985 to  ahumbleh6031a yourself beforeh4480h6440 Me?  bLeth7971 My peopleh5971a goh7971, that they may serveh5647 Me.

4

`For ifh518 you refuseh3986 to leth7971 My peopleh5971a goh7971, beholdh2009, tomorrowh4279 I will bringh935 locustsh697 into your territoryh1366.

5

`They shall coverh3680 the surfaceh5869 of the landh776, so that noh3808 one will be ableh3201 to seeh7200 the landh776.  aThey will also eath398 the resth3499a of whath6413 has escapedh6413--what is lefth7604 to you from the hailh1259--and they will eath398 everyh3605 treeh6086 which sproutsh6779 for you out of the fieldh7704.

6

`Then  ayour housesh1004 shall be filledh4390 and the housesh1004 of allh3605 your servantsh5650 and the housesh1004 of allh3605 the Egyptiansh4714, something whichh834 neitherh3808 your fathersh1 norh3808 your grandfathersh1 have seenh7200, from the dayh3117 that they  1cameh1961 upon the earthh127 untilh5704 thish2088 dayh3117.' " And he turnedh6437 and wenth3318 out from Pharaohh6547.

7

 aPharaoh'sh6547 servantsh5650 saidh559 to him, "Howh4970 longh5704h4970 will thish2088 man be  ba snareh4170 to us? Leth7971 the menh376 goh7971, that they may serveh5647 the LORDh3068 their Godh430. Do you not  1realizeh3045 that Egypth4714 is destroyedh6?"

8

So Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175  awere broughth7725 backh7725 to Pharaohh6547, and he saidh559 to them, " bGoh1980, serveh5647 the LORDh3068 your Godh430!  1Whoh4310 are the ones that are goingh1980?"

9

Mosesh4872 saidh559, " aWe shall goh1980 with our youngh5288 and our oldh2205; with our sonsh1121 and our daughtersh1323,  bwith our flocksh6629 and our herdsh1241 we shall goh1980, for we  1must hold a feasth2282 to the LORDh3068."

10

Then he saidh559 to them, "Thush3651 may the LORDh3068 be with you,  1ifh834 everh3512c I leth7971 you and your littleh2945 onesh2945 goh7971! Takeh7200 heedh7200, for evilh7463a is  2in your mindh6440.

11

"Not soh3651! Goh1980 nowh4994, the menh1397 among you, and serveh5647 the LORDh3068, for  1that is what you desireh1245." So  athey were drivenh1644 out from Pharaoh'sh6547 presenceh6440.

12

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, " aStretchh5186 out your handh3027 overh5921 the landh776 of Egypth4714 for the locustsh697, that they may comeh5927 up on the landh776 of Egypth4714 and  beath398 everyh3605 planth6212a of the landh776, even allh3605 that the hailh1259 has lefth7604."

13

So Mosesh4872 stretchedh5186 out his staffh4294 overh5921 the landh776 of Egypth4714, and the LORDh3068 directedh5090a an easth6921 windh7307 on the landh776 allh3605 that dayh3117 and allh3605 that nighth3915; and when it was morningh1242, the easth6921 windh7307  1broughth5375 the  alocustsh697.

14

 aThe locustsh697 cameh5927 up overh5921 allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714 and settledh5117 in allh3605 the territoryh1366 of Egypth4714; they were veryh3966  1numeroush3515. There had neverh3808 beenh1961 soh3651 many  2locustsh697, norh3808 would there be soh3651 many  3againh310.

15

For they coveredh3680 the surfaceh5869 of the wholeh3605 landh776, so that the landh776 was darkenedh2821; and they  aateh398 everyh3605 planth6212a of the landh776 and allh3605 the fruith6529 of the treesh6086 that the hailh1259 had lefth3498. Thus nothingh3808h3605 greenh3418 was lefth3498 on treeh6086 or planth6212a of the fieldh7704 through allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714.

16

Then Pharaohh6547 hurriedlyh4116  acalledh7121 for Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175, and he saidh559, " bI have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068 your Godh430 and against you.

17

"Nowh6258 therefore, pleaseh4994 forgiveh5375 my sinh2403b onlyh389 thish6471 onceh6471, and  amakeh6279 supplicationh6279 to the LORDh3068 your Godh430, that He would onlyh7534 removeh5493 thish2088 deathh4194 from me."

18

 aHe wenth3318 out from Pharaohh6547 and madeh6279 supplicationh6279 to the LORDh3068.

19

So the LORDh3068 shiftedh2015 the wind to a veryh3966 strongh2389 westh3220 windh7307 which tookh5375 up the locustsh697 and droveh8628 them into the  1Redh5488h3220 Seah3220; not oneh259 locusth697 was lefth7604 in allh3605 the territoryh1366 of Egypth4714.

20

But  athe LORDh3068  1hardenedh2388 Pharaoh'sh6547 hearth3820, and he did not leth7971 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 goh7971.

Darkness over the Land

21

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, " aStretchh5186 out your handh3027 towardh5921 the skyh8064, that there may be darknessh2822 overh5921 the landh776 of Egypth4714, even a darknessh2822  bwhich may be felth4959."

22

So Mosesh4872 stretchedh5186 out his handh3027 towardh5921 the skyh8064, and there was  athickh653 darknessh2822 in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714 for threeh7969 daysh3117.

23

They did not seeh7200 oneh376 anotherh251, norh3808 did anyoneh376 riseh6965 from his placeh8478 for threeh7969 daysh3117,  abut allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 hadh1961 lighth216 in their dwellingsh4186.

24

Then Pharaohh6547  acalledh7121 to Mosesh4872, and saidh559, "Goh1980, serveh5647 the LORDh3068; onlyh7534 let your flocksh6629 and your herdsh1241 be detainedh3322. Evenh1571  byour littleh2945 onesh2945 may goh1980 with you."

25

But Mosesh4872 saidh559, "You must alsoh1571  1leth5414 us haveh5414h3027 sacrificesh2077 and burnth5930a offeringsh5930a, that we may  2sacrificeh6213a them to the LORDh3068 our Godh430.

26

aTherefore, our livestockh4735 tooh1571 shall goh1980 with us; not a hoofh6541 shall be lefth7604 behindh7604, for we shall takeh3947 someh4480 of them to serveh5647 the LORDh3068 our Godh430. And untilh5704 we arriveh935 thereh8033, we ourselvesh587 do not knowh3045 with whath4100 we shall serveh5647 the LORDh3068."

27

But  athe LORDh3068  1hardenedh2388 Pharaoh'sh6547 hearth3820, and he was not willingh14 to leth7971 them goh7971.

28

Then Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to him, " aGeth1980 awayh1980 from me!  1Bewareh8104, do not seeh7200 my faceh6440 againh3254, for in the dayh3117 you seeh7200 my faceh6440 you shall dieh4191!"

29

Mosesh4872 saidh559, "You are righth3653a;  aI shall neverh3808 seeh7200 your faceh6440 againh3254!"
