Exodus 8:2-14
2But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague all your territory with frogs.
3The Nile will swarm with frogs, and they will come up and go into your house, in your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading troughs.
4Frogs will come up against you, your people, and all your servants.”’”
5The Lord spoke to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Extend your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.’”
6So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7The magicians did the same with their secret arts and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt too.
8Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the Lord that he may take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will release the people that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”
9Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me – when shall I pray for you, your servants, and your people, for the frogs to be removed from you and your houses, so that they will be left only in the Nile?”
10He said, “Tomorrow.” And Moses said, “It will be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11The frogs will depart from you, your houses, your servants, and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”
12Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord because of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
13The Lord did as Moses asked – the frogs died out of the houses, the villages, and the fields.
14The Egyptians piled them in countless heaps, and the land stank.
