| [1]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.' |
[1]Afterward the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me: |
| [2]And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. |
[2]And if thou wilt not let them go, behold, I will smite all thy country with frogs: |
| [3]And the magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. |
[3]And the river shall scrawl full of frogs, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy chamber, where thou sleepest, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading troughs. |
| [4]Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said: 'Entreat 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, that He take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.' |
[4]Yea, the frogs shall climb up upon thee, and on thy people, and upon all thy servants. |
| [5]And Moses said unto Pharaoh: 'Have thou this glory over me; against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?' |
[5]Also the Lord said unto Moses, Say thou unto Aaron, Stretch thine hand with thy rod upon the streams, upon the rivers, and upon the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. |
| [6]And he said: 'Against to-morrow.' And he said: 'Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God. |
[6]Then Aaron stretched his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. |
| [7]And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.' |
[7]And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries, and brought frogs up upon the land of Egypt. |
| [8]And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 concerning the frogs, which He had brought upon Pharaoh. |
[8]Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray ye unto 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 do sacrifice unto the Lord. |
| [9]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. |
[9]And Moses said unto Pharaoh, As concerning me, even command when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and from thine houses, that they may remain in the river only. |
| [10]And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank. |
[10]Then he said, Tomorrow. And he answered, Be it as thou hast said, that thou mayest know, that there is none like unto the Lord our God. |
| [11]But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 had spoken. |
[11]So the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thine houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people: only they shall remain in the river. |
| [12]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.' |
[12]Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord concerning the frogs, which he had sent unto Pharaoh. |
| [13]And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt. |
[13]And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses: so the frogs died in the houses, in the towns, and in the fields. |
| [14]And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast. |
[14]And they gathered them together by heaps, and the land stank of them. |
| [15]Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh: 'This is the finger of God'; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and hearkened not unto them; as 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 had spoken. |
[15]But when Pharaoh saw that he had rest given him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said. |
| [16]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him: Thus sait 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: Let My people go, that they may serve Me. |
[16]Again the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out the rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may be turned to lice throughout all the land of Egypt. |
| [17]Else, if thou wilt not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. |
[17]And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and lice came upon man and upon beast: all the dust of the earth was lice throughout all the land of Egypt. |
| [18]And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end that thou mayest know that I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in the midst of the earth. |
[18]Now the enchanters assayed likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So the lice were upon man and upon beast. |
| [19]And I will put a division between My people and thy people—by to-morrow shall this sign be.' |
[19]Then said the enchanters unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh's heart remained obstinate, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said. |
| [20]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses; and in all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by reason of the swarms of flies. |
[20]Moreover the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh (lo, he will come forth unto the water) and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. |
| [21]And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said: 'Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.' |
[21]Else if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies both upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and the ground also whereon they are. |
| [22]And Moses said: 'It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God; lo, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? |
[22]But the land of Goshen, where my people are, will I cause to be wonderful in that day, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. |
| [23]We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God, as He shall command us.' |
[23]And I will make a deliverance of my people from thy people: tomorrow shall this miracle be. |
| [24]And Pharaoh said: 'I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; entreat for me.' |
[24]And the Lord did so: for there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servant's houses, so that through all the land of Egypt the earth was corrupt by the swarms of flies. |
| [25]And Moses said: 'Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.' |
[25]Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, do sacrifice unto your God in this land. |
| [26]And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[26]But Moses answered, It is not meet to do so: for then we should offer unto the Lord our God that, which is an abomination unto the Egyptians. Lo, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone us? |
| [27]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 did according to the word of Moses; and He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. |
[27]Let us go three days journey in the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. |
| [28]And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go. |
[28]And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice unto the Lord your God in the wilderness: but go not far away, pray for me. |
| 29[No verse] |
[29]And Moses said, Behold, I will go out from thee, and pray unto the Lord, that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow: but let Pharaoh from henceforth deceive no more, in not suffering the people to sacrifice unto the Lord. |
| 30[No verse] |
[30]So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed unto the Lord. |
| 31[No verse] |
[31]And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses, and the swarms of flies departed from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, and there remained not one. |
| 32[No verse] |
[32]Yet Pharaoh hardened his heart even then also, and did not let the people go. |
