Exodus:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Go in unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #:
for I have hardened his heart ,
and the heart of his servants ,
that I might shew these my signs before him :
*
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son ,
and of thy sons son ,
what things I have wrought in Egypt ,
and my signs which I have done among them ;
that ye may know how that I am the LORD .
*
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and said unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews ,
How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me ?
let my people go ,
that they may serve me .
*
Else ,
if thou refuse to let my people go ,
behold ,
to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast :
*
And they shall cover the face of the earth ,
that one cannot be able to see the earth :
and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped ,
which remaineth unto you from the hail ,
and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field :
*
And they shall fill thy houses ,
and the houses of all thy servants ,
and the houses of all the Egyptians ;
which neither thy fathers ,
nor thy fathers fathers have seen ,
since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day .
And he turned himself ,
and went out from Pharaoh Par #
oh #.
*
And Pharaohs servants said unto him ,
How long shall this man be a snare unto us ?
let the men go ,
that they may serve the LORD their God :
knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed ?
*
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #:
and he said unto them ,
Go ,
serve the LORD your God :
but who are they that shall go ?
*
And Moses said ,
We will go with our young and with our old ,
with our sons and with our daughters ,
with our flocks and with our herds will we go ;
for we must hold a feast unto the LORD .
*
And he said unto them ,
Let the LORD be so with you ,
as I will let you go ,
and your little ones :
look to it ;
for evil is before you .
*
Not so :
go now ye that are men ,
and serve the LORD ;
for that ye did desire .
And they were driven out from Pharaohs presence .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts ,
that they may come up upon the land of Egypt ,
and eat every herb of the land ,
even all that the hail hath left .
*
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt ,
and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day ,
and all that night ;
and when it was morning ,
the east wind brought the locusts .
*
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt ,
and rested in all the coasts of Egypt :
very grievous were they ;
before them there were no such locusts as they ,
neither after them shall be such .
*
For they covered the face of the whole earth ,
so that the land was darkened ;
and they did eat every herb of the land ,
and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left :
and there remained not any green thing in the trees ,
or in the herbs of the field ,
through all the land of Egypt .
*
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste ;
and he said ,
I have sinned against the LORD your God ,
and against you .
*
Now therefore forgive ,
I pray thee ,
my sin only this once pa #
am #,
and intreat the LORD your God ,
that he may take away from me this death only .
*
And he went out from Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and intreated the LORD .
*
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind ,
which took away the locusts ,
and cast them into the Red sea ;
there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt .
*
But the LORD hardened Pharaohs heart ,
so that he would not let the children of Israel go .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Stretch out thine hand toward heaven ,
that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt ,
even darkness which may be felt .
*
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 rose any from his place for three days :
but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings .
*
And Pharaoh called unto Moses ,
and said ,
Go ye ,
serve the LORD ;
only let your flocks and your herds be stayed :
let your little ones also go with you .
*
And Moses said ,
Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings ,
that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God .
*
Our cattle also shall go with us ;
there shall not an hoof be left behind ;
for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God ;
and we know not with what we must serve the LORD ,
until we come thither .
*
But the LORD hardened Pharaohs heart ,
and he would not let them go .
*
And Pharaoh said unto him ,
Get thee from me ,
take heed to thyself ,
see my face no more ;
for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die .
*
And Moses said ,
Thou hast spoken well ,
I will see thy face again no more .
