Exodus 10:8-29

8So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 1were broughtH7725 backH7725 to PharaohH6547, and he saidH559 to them, “2GoH1980, serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430! 3WhoH4310 are the ones that are goingH1980?” 9MosesH4872 saidH559, “4We shall goH1980 with our youngH5288 and our oldH2205; with our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323, 5with our flocksH6629 and our herdsH1241 we shall goH1980, for we 6must hold a feastH2282 to the LordH3068.” 10Then he saidH559 to them, “ThusH3651 may the LordH3068 be with you, 7ifH834 everH3512 I letH7971 you and your littleH2945 onesH2945 goH7971! TakeH7200 heedH7200, for evilH7463 is 8in your mindH6440. 11Not soH3651! GoH1980 nowH4994, the menH1397 among you, and serveH5647 the LordH3068, for 9that is what you desireH1245.” So 10they were drivenH1644 out from Pharaoh’sH6547 presenceH6440.

12Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “11StretchH5186 out your handH3027 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for the locustsH697, that they may comeH5927 up on the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and 12eatH398 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the landH776, even allH3605 that the hailH1259 has leftH7604.” 13So MosesH4872 stretchedH5186 out his staffH4294 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LordH3068 directedH5090 an eastH6921 windH7307 on the landH776 allH3605 that dayH3117 and allH3605 that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 13broughtH5375 the 14locustsH697. 1415The locustsH697 cameH5927 up overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and settledH5117 in allH3605 the territoryH1366 of EgyptH4714; they were veryH3966 16numerousH3515. There had neverH3808 beenH1961 soH3651 many 17locustsH697, norH3808 would there be soH3651 many 18againH310. 15For they coveredH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the wholeH3605 landH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821; and they 19ateH398 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the landH776 and allH3605 the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 that the hailH1259 had leftH3498. Thus nothingH3808H3605 greenH3418 was leftH3498 on treeH6086 or plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 16Then PharaohH6547 hurriedlyH4116 20calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and he saidH559, “21I have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 your GodH430 and against you. 17NowH6258 therefore, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5375 my sinH2403 onlyH389 thisH6471 onceH6471, and 22makeH6279 supplicationH6279 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, that He would onlyH7534 removeH5493 thisH2088 deathH4194 from me.” 1823He wentH3318 out from PharaohH6547 and madeH6279 supplicationH6279 to the LordH3068. 19So the LordH3068 shiftedH2015 the wind to a veryH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307 which tookH5375 up the locustsH697 and droveH8628 them into the 24RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220; not oneH259 locustH697 was leftH7604 in allH3605 the territoryH1366 of EgyptH4714. 20But 25the LordH3068 26hardenedH2388 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820, and he did not letH7971 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971.

21Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “27StretchH5186 out your handH3027 towardH5921 the skyH8064, that there may be darknessH2822 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even a darknessH2822 28which may be feltH4959.” 22So MosesH4872 stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 towardH5921 the skyH8064, and there was 29thickH653 darknessH2822 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for threeH7969 daysH3117. 23They did not seeH7200 oneH376 anotherH251, norH3808 did anyoneH376 riseH6965 from his placeH8478 for threeH7969 daysH3117, 30but allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 hadH1961 lightH216 in their dwellingsH4186. 24Then PharaohH6547 31calledH7121 to MosesH4872, and saidH559, “GoH1980, serveH5647 the LordH3068; onlyH7534 let your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241 be detainedH3322. EvenH1571 32your littleH2945 onesH2945 may goH1980 with you.” 25But MosesH4872 saidH559, “You must alsoH1571 33letH5414 us haveH5414H3027 sacrificesH2077 and burntH5930 offeringsH5930, that we may 34sacrificeH6213 them to the LordH3068 our GodH430. 2635Therefore, our livestockH4735 tooH1571 shall goH1980 with us; not a hoofH6541 shall be leftH7604 behindH7604, for we shall takeH3947 someH4480 of them to serveH5647 the LordH3068 our GodH430. And untilH5704 we arriveH935 thereH8033, we ourselvesH587 do not knowH3045 with whatH4100 we shall serveH5647 the LordH3068.” 27But 36the LordH3068 37hardenedH2388 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820, and he was not willingH14 to letH7971 them goH7971. 28Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to him, “38GetH1980 awayH1980 from me! 39BewareH8104, do not seeH7200 my faceH6440 againH3254, for in the dayH3117 you seeH7200 my faceH6440 you shall dieH4191!” 29MosesH4872 saidH559, “You are rightH3653; 40I shall neverH3808 seeH7200 your faceH6440 againH3254!”
