* And the Lord said unto Moses , Go in unto Pharaoh ; for I have hardened his heart , and the heart of his servants , in order that I might display these my signs in the midst of them : * And in order that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son , and of thy son ’s son , the wonders which I have wrought in Egypt , and my signs which I have shown among them ; and ye shall know now that I am the Lord . * And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh , and said unto him , Thus saith the Eternal , the God of the Hebrews , How long yet wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me ? let my people go , that they may serve me . * For , if thou refusest to let my people go , behold , I will bring tomorrow locusts into thy boundary . * And they shall cover the face of the earth , so that one shall not be able to see the earth : and they shall eat the residue of that which escaped , which hath been left unto you from the hail , and they shall eat off every tree which groweth for you out of the field : * And thy houses , and the houses of all thy servants , and the houses of all the Egyptians shall be full of them ; such as neither thy fathers , nor thy fathers ’ fathers have seen , since the day of their being upon the earth , until this day ; and he turned himself , and went out from Pharaoh . * And the servants of Pharaoh said unto him , How long shall this man be unto us for a snare ? let the men go , that they may serve the Lord their God : knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed ? * And Moses was brought back with Aaron unto Pharaoh ; and he said unto them , Go ye , serve the Lord your God ; who all are they that shall go ? * And Moses said , With our young and with our old will we go ; with our sons and with our daughters , with our flocks and with our herds will we go ; for we are to hold a feast unto the Lord . * And he said unto them , So be the Lord with you , as I will let you go , together with your little ones : look , surely your intentions are evil . * Not so ; go now ye men , and serve the Lord , for this you desire : and they were driven out from Pharaoh ’s presence . * And the Lord said unto Moses , Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts , and they shall come up over the land of Egypt , and eat every herb of the earth , all that the hail hath left . * And Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt , and the Lord urged an east wind over the land all that day , and all the night ; when it was morning , the east wind bore along the locusts . * And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt , and rested in all the boundaries of Egypt ; in very large masses ; before them there were no such locusts as they , and after them there will not be any such . * And they covered the face of the whole earth , so that the earth was darkened ; and they ate every herb of the land , and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left : and there was not left any green thing on the trees , or on the herbs of the field , throughout all the land of Egypt . * Then made Pharaoh haste to call for Moses and Aaron ; and he said , I have sinned against the Lord your God , and against you . * And now forgive , I pray thee , my sin only this once , and entreat the Lord your God , that he may take away from me only this death . * And he went out from Pharaoh , and entreated the Lord . * And the Lord turned a very strong west wind , which bore away the locusts , and cast them into the Red Sea ; there was not left one locust in all the boundary of Egypt . * But the Lord hardened Pharaoh ’s heart , so that he did not let the children of Israel go . * And the Lord said unto Moses , Stretch out thy hand toward heaven , and there shall be darkness over the land of Egypt , and it shall be a darkness of the night . * And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven ; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days : * They saw not one another , neither did they rise , any one from his place , for three days ; but for all the children of Israel there was light in their dwellings . * And Pharaoh called for Moses , and said , Go ye , serve the Lord ; only your flocks and your herds shall remain behind : also your little ones may go with you . * And Moses said , Even thou also must give into our hand sacrifices and burnt –offerings , that we may sacrifice unto the Eternal , our God . * And also our cattle must go with us , there shall not be left behind a single hoof , for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God ; and we cannot know with what we must serve the Lord , until we come thither . * But the Lord hardened Pharaoh ’s heart , and he would not let them go . * And Pharaoh said unto him , Get thee away from me ; take heed to thyself , see my face no more ; for on the day thou seest my face thou shalt die . * And Moses said , Thou hast spoken well , I will not see thy face again any more .
