20And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and standH3320 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547; lo, he cometh forthH3318 to the waterH4325; and sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Let my peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 me. 21Else, if thou wilt not let my peopleH5971 goH7971, behold, I will sendH7971 swarmsH6157 of flies upon thee, and upon thy servantsH5650, and upon thy peopleH5971, and into thy housesH1004: and the housesH1004 of the EgyptiansH4714 shall be fullH4390 of swarmsH6157 of flies, and also the groundH127 whereon they are.1 22And I will severH6395 in that dayH3117 the landH776 of GoshenH1657, in which my peopleH5971 dwellH5975, that noH1115 swarmsH6157 of flies shall beH1961 there; to the endH4616 thou mayest knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. 23And I will putH7760 a divisionH6304 between my peopleH5971 and thy peopleH5971: to morrowH4279 shall this signH226 be.23 24And YhwhH3068 didH6213 so; and there cameH935 a grievousH3515 swarmH6157 of flies into the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547, and into his servants’H5650 housesH1004, and into all the landH776 of EgyptH4714: the landH776 was corruptedH7843 by reasonH6440 of the swarmH6157 of flies.4

25And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 forH413 MosesH4872 and for AaronH175, and saidH559, GoH3212 ye, sacrificeH2076 to your GodH430 in the landH776. 26And MosesH4872 saidH559, It is not meetH3559 so to doH6213; forH2005 we shall sacrificeH2076 the abominationH8441 of the EgyptiansH4714 to YhwhH3068 our GodH430: lo, shall we sacrificeH2076 the abominationH8441 of the EgyptiansH4714 before their eyesH5869, and will they not stoneH5619 us? 27We will goH3212 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and sacrificeH2076 to YhwhH3068 our GodH430, as he shall commandH559 us.
