waters of Egypt, and frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

And the magicians also did so with their conjurings, and caused frogs to come upon the land of Egypt.

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD for me, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people sacrifice unto the LORD.

And Moses said, Have thou the honour before me, and tell me when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven from thee, and from thy house, and be left alone in the river.

And he said, To morrow. And he said, As thou hast said. That thou mayest know that there is none like the LORD our God,

Then shall the frogs be taken from thee, and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people, and shall be left alone in the river.

So Moses and Aaron went from Pharaoh. And Moses cried unto the LORD for the frogs, as he had promised Pharaoh.

And the LORD did as Moses had said: and the frogs died in the houses, and in the courts, and in the fields.

And they heaped them together, here a heap, and there a heap: and the land stank of them.

And when Pharaoh saw that he had caught his breath, his heart was hardened, and hearkened not unto them, as the LORD had said.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that there may be lice in all the land of Egypt.

And they did so, and Aaron put forth his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and there were lice upon the men, and upon the cattle; and all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

The magicians also did so with their conjurings, that they might bring forth lice; but they could not. And the lice were both on men and on cattle.

And the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and hearkened not unto them, as the LORD had said.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Arise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, (behold, he shall go to the waters,) and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Leave my people to serve me;

If not, behold, I will bring all manner of vermin upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and upon thy house; and all the houses of Egypt, and the field, and all that is therein, shall be filled with vermin.

And I will do a special thing in that day unto the land of Goshen, when my people shall abstain, that there be no vermin there: that thou mayest know that I am the LORD in all the earth.

And I will set a redemption between my people and thy people: to morrow shall the sign be.

And the LORD did so, and there came much vermin into Pharaoh’s house, and into the houses of his servants, and over all the land of Egypt: and the land was destroyed with vermin.

And Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice unto your God here in the land.

And Moses said, It is not meet that we should do so: for we would offer the abominations of the Egyptians unto our God the LORD: behold, if we should offer the abominations of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?

Three days’ journey will we go into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God, as he hath said unto us.

And Pharaoh said: I will suffer you to sacrifice unto the LORD your God in the wilderness; only that ye go not farther, and pray for me.

And Moses said, Behold, when I come forth from thee, I will pray the LORD, and this beast shall be taken away from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, to morrow in the day: but deceive me no more, that thou leave not the people to sacrifice unto the LORD.

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and besought the LORD.

And the LORD did as Moses had said, and took away the beasts from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, that there remained not one.

But Pharaoh hardened his heart also the same time, and let not the people.
(Exodus)
Chapter 9
Pestilence. Black pox. Hail.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD
God of the Ebramites, Let my people serve me.

where you refuse to do so and continue to hold them back,

Behold, the hand of the LORD shall be upon thy cattle of the field, upon horses, upon asses, upon camels, upon oxen, upon sheep, with an almost grievous pestilence.

And the LORD shall make a difference between the cattle of the children of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, that none of them which the children of Israel have shall die.

And the LORD appointed a time, saying, To morrow the LORD will do these things in the earth.

And the LORD did so in the morning; and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but not one of the cattle of the children of Israel died.

And Pharaoh sent after, and, behold, there died not one of the cattle of Israel. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.

And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, Take your fists full of soot out of the furnace, and
let Moses cast it up to heaven before Pharaoh,

And there shall be dusts in all the land of Egypt, and evil sores shall come up in all the land of Egypt, both on men and beasts.

And they took soot out of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward heaven. And there came up evil black poxes, both on men and beasts, 11. So that the magicians could not stand before Moses for the evil palsies: for there were evil palsies in the magicians as well as in all the Egyptians.

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he would not hear them: as the LORD said unto Moses.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Arise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD GOD the Eberian, Let my people serve me.

And this time will I send all my plagues upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; and thou shalt know that there is none like me in all the earth.

For now will I stretch out mine hand, and smite thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt be destroyed from off the face of the earth.

For this cause have I raised thee up, that my power might appear in thee, and that my name might be declared in all the earth.

Thou hast yet trampled my people under thee, and wilt not leave them.

Behold, to morrow about this time I will rain a very great hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the time it was founded, until now.

And now send, and keep thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field. For every man and beast that is found in the field, and is not gathered into the houses, when the hail cometh upon them, shall die.

And he that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh sent away his servants and his cattle into the houses.

But whose hearts turned not to the word of the LORD, they left their servants and their cattle in the field.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that it may rain upon all the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.

So Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and the LORD thundered and hanged with fire upon the earth. So the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt, 24. That hail and fire lead among themselves, so cruel, that the like thereof had never been in all the land of Egypt, since time men were therein.
25; And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, and 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, there was no hail.

And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said unto them: I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, but I and my people are wicked.

But pray ye the LORD, and let the thunders and hailings of God cease; and I will send you away, and ye shall dwell here no longer.

And Moses said unto him, When I come out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands unto the LORD, and the thunder shall cease, and there shall be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is the LORD’s.

But I know that thou and thy servants fear not yet God the LORD.

So the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley had shot, and the flax had gathered knots.

But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, because the corn was late.

And Moses went out from Pharaoh unto the city, and spread abroad his hands against the LORD: and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain fell no more upon the earth.

And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and
