Exodus:8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
Go unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and say unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
And if thou refuse to let them go ,
behold ,
I will smite all thy borders with frogs :
*
And the river shall bring forth #
frogs abundantly ,
which shall go up and come into thine house ,
and into thy bedchamber cheder #,
and upon thy bed ,
and into the house of thy servants ,
and upon thy people ,
and into thine ovens ,
and into thy kneadingtroughs mish #
ereth #:
*
And the frogs shall come up both on thee ,
and upon thy people ,
and upon all thy servants .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
Say unto Aaron ,
Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams ,
over the rivers y @#
or #,
and over the ponds ,
and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt .
*
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt ;
and the frogs came up ,
and covered the land of Egypt .
*
And the magicians did so with their enchantments ,
and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt .
*
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron ,
and said ,
Intreat 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 .
*
And Moses said unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
Glory over me :
when shall I intreat for thee ,
and for thy servants ,
and for thy people ,
to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses ,
that they may remain in the river only ?
*
And he said ,
To morrow .
And he said ,
Be it according to thy word :
that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God .
*
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 .
*
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh Par #
oh #:
and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh Par #
oh #.
*
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses ;
and the frogs died out of the houses ,
out of the villages ,
and out of the fields .
*
And they gathered them together upon heaps :
and the land stank .
*
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite ,
he hardened his heart ,
and hearkened not unto them ;
as the LORD had said .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Say unto Aaron ,
Stretch out thy rod ,
and smite the dust of the land ,
that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt .
*
And they did so ;
for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod ,
and smote the dust of the earth ,
and it became lice in man ,
and in beast ;
all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt .
*
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice ,
but they could not :
so there were lice upon man ,
and upon beast .
*
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
This is the finger of God :
and Pharaohs heart was hardened ,
and he hearkened not unto them ;
as the LORD had said .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Rise up early in the morning ,
and stand before Pharaoh Par #
oh #;
lo ,
he cometh forth to the water ;
and say unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
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 .
*
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen ,
in which my people dwell ,
that no swarms of flies shall be there ;
to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth .
*
And I will put a division between my people and thy people :
to morrow shall this sign be .
*
And the LORD did so ;
and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and into his servants houses ,
and into all the land of Egypt :
the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies .
*
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron ,
and said ,
Go ye ,
sacrifice to your God in the land .
*
And Moses said ,
It is not meet so to do ;
for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God :
lo ,
shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes ,
and will they not stone us ?
*
We will go three days journey into the wilderness ,
and sacrifice to the LORD our God ,
as he shall command us .
*
And Pharaoh said ,
I will let you go ,
that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness ;
only ye shall not go very far away :
intreat for me b @#
ad #.
*
And Moses said ,
Behold ,
I go out from thee ,
and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
from his servants ,
and from his people ,
to morrow :
but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD .
*
And Moses went out from Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and intreated the LORD .
*
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses ;
and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
from his servants ,
and from his people ;
there remained not one .
*
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also ,
neither would he let the people go .
