1 Ch 7:26 in Heb Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.

2But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I am going to strike your entire territory with frogs.

3The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will come up and go into your house, and into your bedroom and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.

4So the frogs will come up on you, your people, and on all your servants.” ’ ”

5Ch 8:1 in HebThen the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Extend your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the Or canalsstreams, and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’ ”

6So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the Lit frogfrogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7However, the soothsayer priests did the same with their secret arts, Lit and mademaking frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the Lord Lit that He removeto remove the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, so that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

9And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Lit Glory over meThe honor is yours to tell me: when shall I plead for you and your servants and your people, Lit cut off the frogs fromthat the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they be left only in the Nile?”

10Then he said, “Tomorrow.” So he said, “May it be according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11The frogs will depart from you and your houses, and from your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”

12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had Lit placedinflicted upon Pharaoh.

13The Lord did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.

14So they piled them in heaps, and the land stank.

15But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he Lit made heavyhardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may turn into Or licegnats through all the land of Egypt.’ ”

17They did so; and Aaron extended his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were Or licegnats on every I.e., Egyptians and their livestockperson and animal. All the dust of the earth turned into Or licegnats through all the land of Egypt.

18The soothsayer priests tried with their secret arts to produce Or licegnats, but they could not; so there were Or licegnats on every person and animal.

19Then the soothsayer priests said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was Lit stronghardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

20Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, Lit beholdas he comes out to the water; and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.

21For if you are not going to let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people, and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they live.

22But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are Lit standingliving, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that Or I am the Lord in the midst of the earthI, the Lord, am in the midst of the land.

23I will Lit set a ransomput a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur.” ’ ”

24Then the Lord did so. And Lit heavythick swarms of flies entered the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants, and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.

25Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”

26But Moses said, “It is not permissible for us to do so, because we will sacrifice to the Lord our God Lit the abomination of Egyptthat which is an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice Lit the abomination of Egyptthat which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

27We must go a three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as He Lit says to uscommands us.”

28Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, so that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Plead for me.”

29Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going to leave you, and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully again in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”

30So Moses left Pharaoh and pleaded with the Lord.

31The Lord did Lit according to the word of Mosesas Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.

32But Pharaoh Lit made heavyhardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
