1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my peo­ple go, that they may serve me. 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, be­hold, I will smite all thy bor­ders with frogs: 3 And the riv­er shall bring forth frogs abun­dant­ly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bed­cham­ber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy ser­vants, and upon thy peo­ple, and into thine ovens, and into thy knead­ingtroughs: 4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy peo­ple, and upon all thy ser­vants. 5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the wa­ters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and cov­ered the land of Egypt. 7 And the ma­gi­cians did so with their en­chant­ments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, In­treat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my peo­ple; and I will let the peo­ple go, that they may do sac­ri­fice unto the LORD. 9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glo­ry over me: when shall I in­treat for thee, and for thy ser­vants, and for thy peo­ple, to de­stroy the frogs from thee and thy hous­es, that they may re­main in the riv­er on­ly? 10 And he said, To mor­row. And he said, Be it ac­cord­ing to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. 11 And the frogs shall de­part from thee, and from thy hous­es, and from thy ser­vants, and from thy peo­ple; they shall re­main in the riv­er on­ly. 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD be­cause of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 13 And the LORD did ac­cord­ing to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the hous­es, out of the vil­lages, and out of the fields. 14 And they gath­ered them to­geth­er upon heaps: and the land stank. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hard­ened his heart, and hear­kened not unto them; as the LORD had said. 16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may be­come lice through­out all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it be­came lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land be­came lice through­out all the land of Egypt. 18 And the ma­gi­cians did so with their en­chant­ments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 19 Then the ma­gi­cians said unto Pharaoh, This is the fin­ger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hard­ened, and he hear­kened not unto them; as the LORD had said. 20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up ear­ly in the morn­ing, and stand be­fore Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the wa­ter; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my peo­ple go, that they may serve me. 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my peo­ple go, be­hold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy ser­vants, and upon thy peo­ple, and into thy hous­es: and the hous­es of the Egyp­tians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground where­on they are. 22 And I will sev­er in that day the land of Goshen, in which my peo­ple dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. 23 And I will put a di­vi­sion be­tween my peo­ple and thy peo­ple: to mor­row shall this sign be. 24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his ser­vants' hous­es, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was cor­rupt­ed by rea­son of the swarm of flies. 25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sac­ri­fice to your God in the land. 26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sac­ri­fice the abom­i­na­tion of the Egyp­tians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sac­ri­fice the abom­i­na­tion of the Egyp­tians be­fore their eyes, and will they not stone us? 27 We will go three days' jour­ney into the wilder­ness, and sac­ri­fice to the LORD our God, as he shall com­mand us. 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sac­ri­fice to the LORD your God in the wilder­ness; only ye shall not go very far away: in­treat for me. 29 And Moses said, Be­hold, I go out from thee, and I will in­treat the LORD that the swarms of flies may de­part from Pharaoh, from his ser­vants, and from his peo­ple, to mor­row: but let not Pharaoh deal de­ceit­ful­ly any more in not let­ting the peo­ple go to sac­ri­fice to the LORD. 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and in­treat­ed the LORD. 31 And the LORD did ac­cord­ing to the word of Moses; and he re­moved the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his ser­vants, and from his peo­ple; there re­mained not one. 32 And Pharaoh hard­ened his heart at this time al­so, nei­ther would he let the peo­ple go.
