Exodus 8:5-20
51Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SayH559 to AaronH175, ‘2StretchH5186 out your handH3027 with your staffH4294 overH5921 the riversH5104, overH5921 the 3streamsH2975 and overH5921 the poolsH98, and make frogsH6854 comeH5927 up on the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’” 6So AaronH175 stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 overH5921 the watersH4325 of EgyptH4714, and the 45frogsH6854 cameH5927 up and coveredH3680 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 76The 7magiciansH2748 didH6213 8the sameH3651 with their secretH3909 artsH3909, 9making frogsH6854 comeH5927 up on the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
8Then PharaohH6547 10calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and saidH559, “11EntreatH6279 the LordH3068 that He removeH5493 the frogsH6854 from me and from my peopleH5971; and 12I will letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068.” 9MosesH4872 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “13The honorH6286 is yours to tell me: whenH4970 shall I entreatH6279 for you and your servantsH5650 and your peopleH5971, that the frogsH6854 be 14destroyedH3772 from you and your housesH1004, that they may be leftH7604 onlyH7534 in the NileH2975?”
10Then he saidH559, “TomorrowH4279.” So he saidH559, “May it be according to your wordH1697, that you may knowH3045 that thereH369 is 15noH369 oneH369 like the LordH3068 our GodH430. 11The 16frogsH6854 will departH5493 from you and your housesH1004 and your servantsH5650 and your peopleH5971; they will be leftH7604 onlyH7534 in the NileH2975.” 12Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH3318 out from PharaohH6547, and 17MosesH4872 criedH6817 to the LordH3068 concerningH5921H1697 the frogsH6854 whichH834 He had 18inflictedH7760 upon PharaohH6547. 13The LordH3068 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872, and the frogsH6854 diedH4191 out of the housesH1004, the courtsH2691, and the fieldsH7704. 14So they piledH6651 them in heapsH2563, and the landH776 19becameH887 foulH887. 15But when PharaohH6547 sawH7200 that there was reliefH7309, he 20hardenedH3513 his heartH3820 and 21did not listenH8085 to them, as the LordH3068 had saidH1696.
16Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SayH559 to AaronH175, ‘StretchH5186 out your staffH4294 and strikeH5221 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, that it may becomeH1961 22gnatsH3654 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’” 17They didH6213 soH3651; and AaronH175 stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 with his staffH4294, and struckH5221 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and there were 23gnatsH3654 on manH120 and beastH929. AllH3605 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 becameH1961 2425gnatsH3654 through allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 18The 26magiciansH2748 triedH6213 with their secretH3909 artsH3909 to bringH3318 forthH3318 27gnatsH3654, but 28they couldH3201 not; so there were 29gnatsH3654 on manH120 and beastH929. 19Then the 30magiciansH2748 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “31ThisH1931 is the fingerH676 of GodH430.” But Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820 was 32hardenedH2388, and he did not listenH8085 to them, as the LordH3068 had saidH1696.
20Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “33RiseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and presentH3320 yourselfH3320 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, 34as 35he comesH3318 out to the waterH4325, and sayH559 to him, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “36LetH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 Me.
