| [1]And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst, |
[1]Again the Lord said unto Moses, Go to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might work these my miracles in the midst of his realm, |
| [2]and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.' |
[2]And that thou mayest declare in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have done in Egypt, and my miracles, which I have done among them: that ye may know that I am the Lord. |
| [3]And Moses cometh in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me, |
[3]Then Moses and Aaron came unto Pharaoh, and they said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. |
| [4]for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border, |
[4]But if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring grasshoppers into thy coasts. |
| [5]and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field; |
[5]And they shall cover the face of the earth, that a man cannot see the earth: and they shall eat the residue which remaineth unto you, and hath escaped from the hail: and they shall eat all your trees that bud in the field. |
| [6]and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father's fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,' -- and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh. |
[6]And they shall fill thine houses, and all thy servant's houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day. So he returned, and went out from Pharaoh. |
| [7]And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?' |
[7]Then Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall he be an offense unto us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: wilt thou first know that Egypt is destroyed? |
| [8]And Moses is brought back -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; -- who and who [are] those going?' |
[8]So Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh, and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God, but who are they that shall go? |
| [9]And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.' |
[9]And Moses answered, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and with our cattle will we go: for we must celebrate a feast unto the Lord. |
| [10]And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see -- for evil [is] before your faces; |
[10]And he said unto them, Let the Lord so be with you, as I will let you go and your children: behold, for evil is before your face. |
| [11]not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;' and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh. |
[11]It shall not be so: now go ye that are men, and serve the Lord: for that was your desire. Then they were thrust out from Pharaoh's presence. |
| [12]And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land -- all that the hail hath left.' |
[12]After, the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand upon the land of Egypt for the grasshoppers, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat all the herbs of the land, even all that the hail hath left. |
| [13]And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust. |
[13]Then Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night: and in the morning the east wind brought the grasshoppers. |
| [14]And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt -- very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such; |
[14]So the grasshoppers went up upon all the land of Egypt, and remained in all quarters of Egypt: so grievous grasshoppers, like to these were never before, neither after them shall be such. |
| [15]and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.' |
[15]For they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark: and they did eat all the herbs of the land, and all the fruits of the trees, which the hail had left, so that there was no green thing left upon the trees, nor among the herbs of the field throughout all the land of Egypt. |
| [16]And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, `I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you, |
[16]Therefore Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. |
| [17]and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.' |
[17]And now forgive me my sin only this once, and pray unto the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. |
| [18]And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah, |
[18]Moses then went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto the Lord. |
| [19]and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea -- there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt; |
[19]And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, and took away the grasshoppers, and violently cast them into the Red Sea, so that there remained not one grasshopper in all the coast of Egypt. |
| [20]and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away. |
[20]But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go. |
| [21]And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.' |
[21]Again the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be upon the land of Egypt darkness, even darkness that may be felt. |
| [22]And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness -- thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days; |
[22]Then Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a black darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. |
| [23]they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.' |
[23]No man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he was for three days: but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt. |
| [24]And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, `Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;' |
[24]Then Pharaoh called for Moses and said, Go, serve the Lord: only your sheep and your cattle shall abide, and your children shall go with you. |
| [25]and Moses saith, `Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God; |
[25]And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt offerings that we may do sacrifice unto the Lord our God. |
| [26]and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we -- we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.' |
[26]Therefore our cattle also shall go with us: there shall not an hoof be left, for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God: neither do we know how we shall serve the Lord, until we come thither. |
| [27]And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away; |
[27](But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go) |
| [28]and Pharaoh saith to him, `Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;' |
[28]And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me: look thou see my face no more: for when so ever thou comest in my sight, thou shalt die. |
| [29]and Moses saith, `Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.' |
[29]Then Moses said, Thou hast said well: from henceforth will I see thy face no more. |
