1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hard­ened his heart, and the heart of his ser­vants, that I might shew these my signs be­fore him: 2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. 3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the He­brews, How long wilt thou refuse to hum­ble thy­self be­fore me? let my peo­ple go, that they may serve me. 4 Else, if thou refuse to let my peo­ple go, be­hold, to mor­row will I bring the lo­custs into thy coast: 5 And they shall cov­er the face of the earth, that one can­not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is es­caped, which re­maineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat ev­ery tree which groweth for you out of the field: 6 And they shall fill thy hous­es, and the hous­es of all thy ser­vants, and the hous­es of all the Egyp­tians; which nei­ther thy fa­thers, nor thy fa­thers' fa­thers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned him­self, and went out from Pharaoh. 7 And Pharaoh's ser­vants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: know­est thou not yet that Egypt is de­stroyed? 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go? 9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daugh­ters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we ­must hold a feast unto the LORD. 10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your lit­tle ones: look ­to it; for evil is be­fore you. 11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did de­sire. And they were driv­en out from Pharaoh's pres­ence. 12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the lo­custs, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat ev­ery herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morn­ing, the east wind brought the lo­custs. 14 And the lo­custs went up over all the land of Egypt, and rest­ed in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; be­fore them there were no such lo­custs as they, nei­ther af­ter them shall be such. 15 For they cov­ered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was dark­ened; and they did eat ev­ery herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there re­mained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. 17 Now there­fore for­give, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and in­treat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death on­ly. 18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and in­treat­ed the LORD. 19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the lo­custs, and cast them into the Red sea; there re­mained not one lo­cust in all the coasts of Egypt. 20 But the LORD hard­ened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the chil­dren of Is­rael go. 21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand to­ward heav­en, that there may be dark­ness over the land of Egypt, even dark­ness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand to­ward heav­en; and there was a thick dark­ness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one an­oth­er, nei­ther rose any from his place for three days: but all the chil­dren of Is­rael had light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your lit­tle ones also go with you. 25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sac­ri­fices and burnt of­fer­ings, that we may sac­ri­fice unto the LORD our God. 26 Our cat­tle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left be­hind; for there­of must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, un­til we come thith­er. 27 But the LORD hard­ened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thy­self, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spo­ken well, I will see thy face again no more.
