2If you refuse to let them go, I will send thousands of frogs to bring trouble to your whole country. 3The Nile river will be full of frogs. The frogs will go into your house. They will jump into your bed. They will go into the houses of your servants. They will go into the houses of your people. They will jump into your ovens and into your dishes. The frogs will jump all over you. They will jump on your people and on all your servants.” ’ 5Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to Aaron, “Take your stick in your hand. Then raise your hand over the rivers, the streams and the pools. You will cause frogs to come up over the whole of Egypt.” ’ 6So Aaron lifted up his hand over the water of Egypt. Then the frogs came up and they covered the whole of Egypt.
