[1]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto MosesH4872, GoH935[H8798] in unto PharaohH6547: for I have hardenedH3513[H8689] his heartH3820, and the heartH3820 of his servantsH5650, that I might shewH7896[H8800] these my signsH226 before himH7130:
[2]And that thou mayest tellH5608[H8762] in the earsH241 of thy sonH1121, and of thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, what things I have wroughtH5953[H8694] in EgyptH4714, and my signsH226 which I have doneH7760[H8804] among them; that ye may knowH3045[H8804] how that I am the LORDH3068.
[3]And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 came inH935[H8799] unto PharaohH6547, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, How longH4970 wilt thou refuseH3985[H8765] to humbleH6031[H8736] thyself beforeH6440 me? let my peopleH5971 goH7971[H8761], that they may serveH5647 meH8799.
[4]ElseH3588, if thou refuseH3986 to let my peopleH5971 goH7971[H8763], behold, to morrowH4279 will I bringH935[H8688] the locustsH697 into thy coastH1366:
[5]And they shall coverH3680[H8765] the faceH5869 of the earthH776, that one cannot be ableH3201[H8799] to seeH7200[H8800] the earthH776: and they shall eatH398[H8804] the residueH3499 of that which is escapedH6413, which remainethH7604[H8737] unto you from the hailH1259, and shall eatH398[H8804] every treeH6086 which growethH6779[H8802] for you out of the fieldH7704:
[6]And they shall fillH4390[H8804] thy housesH1004, and the housesH1004 of all thy servantsH5650, and the housesH1004 of all the EgyptiansH4714; which neither thy fathersH1, nor thy fathers'H1 fathersH1 have seenH7200[H8804], since the dayH3117 that they were upon the earthH127 unto this dayH3117. And he turnedH6437[H8799] himself, and went outH3318[H8799] from PharaohH6547.
[7]And Pharaoh'sH6547 servantsH5650 saidH559[H8799] unto him, How long shall this man be a snareH4170 unto us? let the menH582 goH7971[H8761], that they may serveH5647[H8799] the LORDH3068 their GodH430: knowestH3045[H8799] thou not yetH2962 that EgyptH4714 is destroyedH6?[H8804]
[8]And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 were brought againH7725[H8714] unto PharaohH6547: and he saidH559[H8799] unto them, GoH3212[H8798], serveH5647[H8798] the LORDH3068 your GodH430: but who are they that shall goH1980?[H8802]
[9]And MosesH4872 saidH559[H8799], We will goH3212[H8799] with our youngH5288 and with our oldH2205, with our sonsH1121 and with our daughtersH1323, with our flocksH6629 and with our herdsH1241 will we goH3212[H8799]; for we must hold a feastH2282 unto the LORDH3068.
[10]And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, Let the LORDH3068 be so with you, as I will let you goH7971[H8762], and your little onesH2945: lookH7200[H8798] to it; for evilH7451 is before youH6440.
[11]Not so: goH3212[H8798] now ye that are menH1397, and serveH5647[H8798] the LORDH3068; for that ye did desireH1245[H8764]. And they were driven outH1644[H8762] from Pharaoh'sH6547 presenceH6440.
[12]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186[H8798] thine handH3027 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for the locustsH697, that they may come upH5927[H8799] upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and eatH398[H8799] every herbH6212 of the landH776, even all that the hailH1259 hath leftH7604.[H8689]
[13]And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186[H8799] his rodH4294 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 broughtH5090[H8765] an eastH6921 windH7307 upon the landH776 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 broughtH5375[H8804] the locustsH697.
[14]And the locustsH697 went upH5927[H8799] over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and restedH5117[H8799] in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714: veryH3966 grievousH3515 were they; beforeH6440 them there were no suchH3651 locustsH697 as they, neither after them shall be suchH310.
[15]For they coveredH3680[H8762] the faceH5869 of the whole earthH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821[H8799]; and they did eatH398[H8799] every herbH6212 of the landH776, and all the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 which the hailH1259 had leftH3498[H8689]: and there remainedH3498[H8738] not any green thingH3418 in the treesH6086, or in the herbsH6212 of the fieldH7704, through all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
[16]Then PharaohH6547 calledH7121[H8800] for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in hasteH4116[H8762]; and he saidH559[H8799], I have sinnedH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068 your God, and against youH430.
[17]Now therefore forgiveH5375[H8798], I pray thee, my sinH2403 only this onceH6471, and intreatH6279[H8685] the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that he may take awayH5493[H8686] from me this death onlyH4194.
[18]And he went outH3318[H8799] from PharaohH6547, and intreatedH6279[H8799] the LORDH3068.
[19]And the LORDH3068 turnedH2015[H8799] a mightyH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which took awayH5375[H8799] the locustsH697, and castH8628[H8799] them into the RedH5488 seaH3220; there remainedH7604[H8738] not oneH259 locustH697 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714.
[20]But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388[H8762] Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, so that he would not let the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971.[H8765]
[21]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186[H8798] thine handH3027 toward heavenH8064, that there may be darknessH2822 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even darknessH2822 which may be feltH4959.[H8686]
[22]And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186[H8799] his handH3027 toward heavenH8064; and there was a thickH653 darknessH2822 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 threeH7969 daysH3117:
[23]They sawH7200[H8804] not oneH376 anotherH251, neither roseH6965[H8804] anyH376 from his place for threeH7969 daysH3117: but all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had lightH216 in their dwellingsH4186.
[24]And PharaohH6547 calledH7121[H8799] unto MosesH4872, and saidH559[H8799], GoH3212[H8798] ye, serveH5647[H8798] the LORDH3068; only let your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241 be stayedH3322[H8714]: let your little onesH2945 also goH3212 with youH8799.
[25]And MosesH4872 saidH559[H8799], Thou must giveH5414[H8799] usH3027 also sacrificesH2077 and burnt offeringsH5930, that we may sacrificeH6213[H8804] unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
[26]Our cattleH4735 also shall goH3212[H8799] with us; there shall not an hoofH6541 be left behindH7604[H8735]; for thereof must we takeH3947[H8799] to serveH5647[H8800] the LORDH3068 our GodH430; and we knowH3045[H8799] not with what we must serveH5647[H8799] the LORDH3068, until we comeH935 thitherH8800.
[27]But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388[H8762] Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, and he wouldH14[H8804] not let them goH7971.[H8763]
[28]And PharaohH6547 saidH559[H8799] unto him, GetH3212[H8798] thee from me, take heedH8104[H8734] to thyself, seeH7200[H8800] my faceH6440 no moreH3254[H8686]; for in that dayH3117 thou seestH7200[H8800] my faceH6440 thou shalt dieH4191.[H8799]
[29]And MosesH4872 saidH559[H8799], Thou hast spokenH1696[H8765] wellH3651, I will seeH7200[H8800] thy faceH6440 againH3254 no moreH8686.
