20Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “1RiseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and presentH3320 yourself beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, 2as 3he comesH3318 outH3318 to the waterH4325; and sayH559 to him, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “4LetH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, so that they may serveH5647 Me. 21For ifH518 you are not going to letH7971 My peopleH5971 goH7971, beholdH2009, I will sendH7971 swarmsH6157 ofH6157 fliesH6157 on you and on your servantsH5650 and on your peopleH5971, and into your housesH1004; and the housesH1004 of the EgyptiansH4714 will be fullH4390 of swarmsH6157 ofH6157 fliesH6157, and alsoH1571 the groundH127 on whichH834 they live. 225But on that dayH3117 I will setH6395 apartH6395 the landH776 of GoshenH1657, whereH834 My peopleH5971 are 6livingH5975, so that noH1115 swarmsH6157 ofH6157 fliesH6157 will be thereH8033, inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 you may knowH3045 that 78I, the LordH3068, am in the midstH7130 of the landH776. 23I will 9putH7760 a divisionH6304 betweenH996 My peopleH5971 and your peopleH5971. TomorrowH4279 thisH2088 signH226 will occurH1961.”’” 24Then the LordH3068 didH6213 soH3651. And 10thickH3515 swarmsH6157 ofH6157 fliesH6157 enteredH935 the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 and the housesH1004 of his servantsH5650, and the landH776 was 11laidH7843 wasteH7843 becauseH4480H6440 of the swarmsH6157 ofH6157 fliesH6157 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

25Then PharaohH6547 12calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and saidH559, “13GoH1980, sacrificeH2076 to your GodH430 within the landH776.” 26But MosesH4872 saidH559, “It isH3559 not permissibleH3559 for us to doH6213 soH3651, becauseH3588 we will sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 our GodH430 14that which is 15an abominationH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714. IfH2005 we sacrificeH2076 16that which is an abominationH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714 before their eyesH5869, will they not stoneH5619 us? 27We must goH1980 a 17threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057 and sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 our GodH430, justH3512 asH3512 He 18commandsH559 us.”
