Exodus 10:4-19

4For ifH518 you refuseH3986 to letH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, beholdH2009, tomorrowH4279 I will bringH935 locustsH697 into your territoryH1366. 5And they will coverH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the landH776, so that noH3808 one will beH3201 ableH3201 to seeH7200 the landH776. 1They will also eatH398 the restH3499 of whatH6413 has survivedH6413--what is leftH7604 to you from the hailH1259--and they will eatH398 everyH3605 treeH6086 of yours which growsH6779 2in the fieldH7704. 6Then 3your housesH1004 will be filledH4390 with them, 4together with the housesH1004 of allH3605 your servantsH5650 and the housesH1004 of allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, something whichH834 neitherH3808 your fathersH1 norH3808 your grandfathersH1 have seenH7200, from the dayH3117 that they 5cameH1961 upon the earthH127 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.’” And he turnedH6437 and leftH3318H4480 PharaohH6547. 7Then 6Pharaoh’sH6547 servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “HowH4970 longH5704H4970 shall thisH2088 man be 7a snareH4170 to us? LetH7971 the 8peopleH376 goH7971, so that they may serveH5647 the LordH3068 their GodH430. Do you not yetH2962 9realizeH3045 that EgyptH4714 is destroyedH6?” 8So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 10were broughtH7725 backH7725 to PharaohH6547, and he saidH559 to them, “11GoH1980, serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430! 12WhoH4310 specificallyH4310 are the ones who are goingH1980?” 9MosesH4872 saidH559, “13We shall goH1980 with our youngH5288 and our oldH2205; with our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323, 14with our flocksH6629 and our herdsH1241 we shall goH1980, for we 15must hold a feastH2282 to the LordH3068.” 10Then he saidH559 to them, “SoH3651 may the LordH3068 be with you, whenH3512 I letH7971 you and your littleH2945 onesH2945 goH7971! WatchH7200 outH7200, for evilH7463 is 16on your mindH6440! 11Not soH3651! GoH1980 nowH4994, but only the menH1397 among you, and serveH5647 the LordH3068, sinceH3588 17that is what you desireH1245.” So 18they were drivenH1644 outH1644 from Pharaoh’sH6547 presenceH6440.

12Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “19ReachH5186 outH5186 with your handH3027 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for the locustsH697, so that they may comeH5927 upH5927 on the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and 20eatH398 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the landH776, everythingH3605 that the hailH1259 has leftH7604.” 13So MosesH4872 reachedH5186 outH5186 with 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 21broughtH5375 the 22locustsH697. 1423The locustsH697 cameH5927 upH5927 overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and settledH5117 in allH3605 the territoryH1366 of EgyptH4714; they were veryH3966 24numerousH3515. There had neverH3808 beenH1961 soH3651 many 25locustsH697, norH3808 would there be soH3651 many 26againH310. 15For they coveredH3680 the surfaceH5869 of the wholeH3605 landH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821; and they 27ateH398 everyH3605 plantH6212 of the landH776 and allH3605 the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 that the hailH1259 had leftH3498. Therefore nothingH3808H3605 greenH3418 was leftH3498 on treeH6086 or plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 16Then PharaohH6547 hurriedlyH4116 28calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and he saidH559, “29I have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 your GodH430 and against you. 17So nowH6258, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5375 my sinH2403 onlyH389 thisH6471 onceH6471, and 30pleadH6279 with the LordH3068 your GodH430, that He would onlyH7534 removeH5493 thisH2088 deathH4194 from me.” 18Then 31he leftH3318H4480 PharaohH6547 and pleadedH6279 with the LordH3068. 19So the LordH3068 shiftedH2015 the wind to a veryH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which pickedH5375 upH5375 the locustsH697 and droveH8628 them into the 32RedH5488 SeaH3220; not oneH259 locustH697 was leftH7604 in allH3605 the territoryH1366 of EgyptH4714.
