Exodus 8:21-31
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. 28And PharaohH6547 saidH559, I will let you goH7971, that ye may sacrificeH2076 to YhwhH3068 your GodH430 in the wildernessH4057; only ye shall not goH3212 veryH7368 far awayH7368: intreatH6279 for meH1157. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559, Behold, I go outH3318 from thee, and I will intreatH6279 YhwhH3068 that the swarmsH6157 of flies may departH5493 from PharaohH6547, from his servantsH5650, and from his peopleH5971, to morrowH4279: butH7535 let not PharaohH6547 deal deceitfullyH2048 any moreH3254 in notH1115 letting the peopleH5971 goH7971 to sacrificeH2076 to YhwhH3068. 30And MosesH4872 went outH3318 from PharaohH6547, and intreatedH6279 YhwhH3068. 31And YhwhH3068 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872; and he removedH5493 the swarmsH6157 of flies from PharaohH6547, from his servantsH5650, and from his peopleH5971; there remainedH7604 not oneH259.
