* 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 .
