Exodus:7-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
See ,
I have made thee a god to Pharaoh :
and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet .
*
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee :
and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh ,
that he send the children of Israel out of his land .
*
And I will harden Pharaoh '
s heart ,
and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt .
*
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you ,
that I may lay my hand upon Egypt ,
and bring forth mine armies ,
and my people the children of Israel ,
out of the land of Egypt by great judgments .
*
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt ,
and bring out the children of Israel from among them .
*
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them ,
so did they .
*
And Moses was fourscore years old ,
and Aaron fourscore and three years old ,
when they spake unto Pharaoh .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron ,
saying ,
*
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you ,
saying ,
Shew a miracle for you :
then thou shalt say unto Aaron ,
Take thy rod ,
and cast it before Pharaoh ,
and it shall become a serpent .
*
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh ,
and they did so as the LORD had commanded :
and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh ,
and before his servants ,
and it became a serpent .
*
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers :
now the magicians of Egypt ,
they also did in like manner with their enchantments .
*
For they cast down every man his rod ,
and they became serpents :
but Aaron '
s rod swallowed up their rods .
*
And he hardened Pharaoh '
s heart ,
that he hearkened not unto them ;
as the LORD had said .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Pharaoh '
s heart is hardened ,
he refuseth to let the people go .
*
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning ;
lo ,
he goeth out unto the water ;
and thou shalt stand by the river '
s brink against he come ;
and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand .
*
And thou shalt say unto him ,
The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee ,
saying ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me in the wilderness :
and ,
behold ,
hitherto thou wouldest not hear .
*
Thus saith the LORD ,
In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD :
behold ,
I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river ,
and they shall be turned to blood .
*
And the fish that is in the river shall die ,
and the river shall stink ;
and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
Say unto Aaron ,
Take thy rod ,
and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt ,
upon their streams ,
upon their rivers ,
and upon their ponds ,
and upon all their pools of water ,
that they may become blood ;
and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt ,
both in vessels of wood ,
and in vessels of stone .
*
And Moses and Aaron did so ,
as the LORD commanded ;
and he lifted up the rod ,
and smote the waters that were in the river ,
in the sight of Pharaoh ,
and in the sight of his servants ;
and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood .
*
And the fish that was in the river died ;
and the river stank ,
and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river ;
and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt .
*
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments :
and Pharaoh '
s heart was hardened ,
neither did he hearken unto them ;
as the LORD had said .
*
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house ,
neither did he set his heart to this also .
*
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink ;
for they could not drink of the water of the river .
*
And seven days were fulfilled ,
after that the LORD had smitten the river .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
Go unto Pharaoh ,
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 ,
and upon thy bed ,
and into the house of thy servants ,
and upon thy people ,
and into thine ovens ,
and into thy kneadingtroughs :
*
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 ,
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 ,
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 :
and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh .
*
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 ,
This is the finger of God :
and Pharaoh '
s 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 ;
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 ,
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 .
*
And Moses said ,
Behold ,
I go out from thee ,
and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh ,
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 ,
and intreated the LORD .
*
And the LORD 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 .
*
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also ,
neither would he let the people go .
*
Then the LORD said unto Moses ,
Go in unto Pharaoh ,
and tell him ,
Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
For if thou refuse to let them go ,
and wilt hold them still ,
*
Behold ,
the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field ,
upon the horses ,
upon the asses ,
upon the camels ,
upon the oxen ,
and upon the sheep :
there shall be a very grievous murrain .
*
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt :
and there shall nothing die of all that is the children '
s of Israel .
*
And the LORD appointed a set time ,
saying ,
To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land .
*
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow ,
and all the cattle of Egypt died :
but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one .
*
And Pharaoh sent ,
and ,
behold ,
there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead .
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened ,
and he did not let the people go .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron ,
Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace ,
and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh .
*
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt ,
and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man ,
and upon beast ,
throughout all the land of Egypt .
*
And they took ashes of the furnace ,
and stood before Pharaoh ;
and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven ;
and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man ,
and upon beast .
*
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils ;
for the boil was upon the magicians ,
and upon all the Egyptians .
*
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh ,
and he hearkened not unto them ;
as the LORD had spoken unto Moses .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Rise up early in the morning ,
and stand before Pharaoh ,
and say unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews ,
Let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart ,
and upon thy servants ,
and upon thy people ;
that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth .
*
For now I will stretch out my hand ,
that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence ;
and thou shalt be cut off from the earth .
*
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up ,
for to shew in thee my power ;
and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth .
*
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people ,
that thou wilt not let them go ?
*
Behold ,
to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail ,
such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now .
*
Send therefore now ,
and gather thy cattle ,
and all that thou hast in the field ;
for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field ,
and shall not be brought home ,
the hail shall come down upon them ,
and they shall die .
*
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses :
*
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven ,
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt ,
upon man ,
and upon beast ,
and upon every herb of the field ,
throughout the land of Egypt .
*
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven :
and the LORD sent thunder and hail ,
and the fire ran along upon the ground ;
and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt .
*
So there was hail ,
and fire mingled with the hail ,
very grievous ,
such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation .
*
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field ,
both man and beast ;
and the hail smote every herb of the field ,
and brake every tree of the field .
*
Only in the land of Goshen ,
where the children of Israel were ,
was there no hail .
*
And Pharaoh sent ,
and called for Moses and Aaron ,
and said unto them ,
I have sinned this time :
the LORD is righteous ,
and I and my people are wicked .
*
Intreat the LORD (
for it is enough )
that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail ;
and I will let you go ,
and ye shall stay no longer .
*
And Moses said unto him ,
As soon as I am gone out of the city ,
I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD ;
and the thunder shall cease ,
neither shall there be any more hail ;
that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD '
S .
*
But as for thee and thy servants ,
I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God .
*
And the flax and the barley was smitten :
for the barley was in the ear ,
and the flax was bolled .
*
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten :
for they were not grown up .
*
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh ,
and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD :
and the thunders and hail ceased ,
and the rain was not poured upon the earth .
*
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased ,
he sinned yet more ,
and hardened his heart ,
he and his servants .
*
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened ,
neither would he let the children of Israel go ;
as the LORD had spoken by Moses .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Go in unto Pharaoh :
for I have hardened his heart ,
and the heart of his servants ,
that I might shew these my signs before him :
