1 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Go * h935 h8798 in unto Pharaoh * h6547: for I have hardened * h3513 h8689 his heart * h3820, and the heart * h3820 of his servants * h5650, that I might shew * h7896 h8800 these my signs * h226 before * h7130 him:
2 And that thou mayest tell * h5608 h8762 in the ears * h241 of thy son * h1121, and of thy son's * h1121 son * h1121, what things I have wrought * h5953 h8694 in Egypt * h4714, and my signs * h226 which I have done * h7760 h8804 among them; that ye may know * h3045 h8804 how that I am the LORD * h3068.
3 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 came in * h935 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, Thus saith * h559 h8804 the LORD * h3068 God * h430 of the Hebrews * h5680, How long * h4970 wilt thou refuse * h3985 h8765 to humble * h6031 h8736 thyself before * h6440 me? let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8761, that they may serve * h5647 h8799 me.
4 Else * h3588, if thou refuse * h3986 to let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8763, behold, to morrow * h4279 will I bring * h935 h8688 the locusts * h697 into thy coast * h1366:
5 And they shall cover * h3680 h8765 the face * h5869 of the earth * h776, that one cannot be able * h3201 h8799 to see * h7200 h8800 the earth * h776: and they shall eat * h398 h8804 the residue * h3499 of that which is escaped * h6413, which remaineth * h7604 h8737 unto you from the hail * h1259, and shall eat * h398 h8804 every tree * h6086 which groweth * h6779 h8802 for you out of the field * h7704: face: Heb. eye
6 And they shall fill * h4390 h8804 thy houses * h1004, and the houses * h1004 of all thy servants * h5650, and the houses * h1004 of all the Egyptians * h4714; which neither thy fathers * h1, nor thy fathers * h1' fathers * h1 have seen * h7200 h8804, since the day * h3117 that they were upon the earth * h127 unto this day * h3117. And he turned * h6437 h8799 himself, and went out * h3318 h8799 from Pharaoh * h6547.
7 And Pharaoh's * h6547 servants * h5650 said * h559 h8799 unto him, How long shall this man be a snare * h4170 unto us? let the men * h582 go * h7971 h8761, that they may serve * h5647 h8799 the LORD * h3068 their God * h430: knowest * h3045 h8799 thou not yet * h2962 that Egypt * h4714 is destroyed * h6 h8804?
8 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 were brought again * h7725 h8714 unto Pharaoh * h6547: and he said * h559 h8799 unto them, Go * h3212 h8798, serve * h5647 h8798 the LORD * h3068 your God * h430: but who are they that shall go * h1980 h8802? who...: Heb. who and who, etc
9 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, We will go * h3212 h8799 with our young * h5288 and with our old * h2205, with our sons * h1121 and with our daughters * h1323, with our flocks * h6629 and with our herds * h1241 will we go * h3212 h8799; for we must hold a feast * h2282 unto the LORD * h3068.
10 And he said * h559 h8799 unto them, Let the LORD * h3068 be so with you, as I will let you go * h7971 h8762, and your little ones * h2945: look * h7200 h8798 to it ; for evil * h7451 is before * h6440 you.
11 Not so: go * h3212 h8798 now ye that are men * h1397, and serve * h5647 h8798 the LORD * h3068; for that ye did desire * h1245 h8764. And they were driven out * h1644 h8762 from Pharaoh's * h6547 presence * h6440.
12 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Stretch out * h5186 h8798 thine hand * h3027 over the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714 for the locusts * h697, that they may come up * h5927 h8799 upon the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and eat * h398 h8799 every herb * h6212 of the land * h776, even all that the hail * h1259 hath left * h7604 h8689.
13 And Moses * h4872 stretched forth * h5186 h8799 his rod * h4294 over the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and the LORD * h3068 brought * h5090 h8765 an east * h6921 wind * h7307 upon the land * h776 all that day * h3117, and all that night * h3915; and when it was morning * h1242, the east * h6921 wind * h7307 brought * h5375 h8804 the locusts * h697.
14 And the locusts * h697 went up * h5927 h8799 over all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and rested * h5117 h8799 in all the coasts * h1366 of Egypt * h4714: very * h3966 grievous * h3515 were they ; before * h6440 them there were no such * h3651 locusts * h697 as they, neither after * h310 them shall be such.
15 For they covered * h3680 h8762 the face * h5869 of the whole earth * h776, so that the land * h776 was darkened * h2821 h8799; and they did eat * h398 h8799 every herb * h6212 of the land * h776, and all the fruit * h6529 of the trees * h6086 which the hail * h1259 had left * h3498 h8689: and there remained * h3498 h8738 not any green thing * h3418 in the trees * h6086, or in the herbs * h6212 of the field * h7704, through all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
16 Then Pharaoh * h6547 called * h7121 h8800 for Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 in haste * h4116 h8762; and he said * h559 h8799, I have sinned * h2398 h8804 against the LORD * h3068 your God * h430, and against you. called: Heb. hastened to call
17 Now therefore forgive * h5375 h8798, I pray thee, my sin * h2403 only this once * h6471, and intreat * h6279 h8685 the LORD * h3068 your God * h430, that he may take away * h5493 h8686 from me this death * h4194 only.
18 And he went out * h3318 h8799 from Pharaoh * h6547, and intreated * h6279 h8799 the LORD * h3068.
19 And the LORD * h3068 turned * h2015 h8799 a mighty * h3966 strong * h2389 west * h3220 wind * h7307, which took away * h5375 h8799 the locusts * h697, and cast * h8628 h8799 them into the Red * h5488 sea * h3220; there remained * h7604 h8738 not one * h259 locust * h697 in all the coasts * h1366 of Egypt * h4714. cast: Heb. fastened
20 But the LORD * h3068 hardened * h2388 h8762 Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820, so that he would not let the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 go * h7971 h8765.
21 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Stretch out * h5186 h8798 thine hand * h3027 toward heaven * h8064, that there may be darkness * h2822 over the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, even darkness * h2822 which may be felt * h4959 h8686. even...: Heb. that one may feel darkness
22 And Moses * h4872 stretched forth * h5186 h8799 his hand * h3027 toward heaven * h8064; and there was a thick * h653 darkness * h2822 in all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714 three * h7969 days * h3117:
23 They saw * h7200 h8804 not one * h376 another * h251, neither rose * h6965 h8804 any * h376 from his place for three * h7969 days * h3117: but all the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 had light * h216 in their dwellings * h4186.
24 And Pharaoh * h6547 called * h7121 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, and said * h559 h8799, Go * h3212 h8798 ye, serve * h5647 h8798 the LORD * h3068; only let your flocks * h6629 and your herds * h1241 be stayed * h3322 h8714: let your little ones * h2945 also go * h3212 h8799 with you.
25 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, Thou must give * h5414 h8799 us * h3027 also sacrifices * h2077 and burnt offerings * h5930, that we may sacrifice * h6213 h8804 unto the LORD * h3068 our God * h430. us: Heb. into our hands
26 Our cattle * h4735 also shall go * h3212 h8799 with us; there shall not an hoof * h6541 be left behind * h7604 h8735; for thereof must we take * h3947 h8799 to serve * h5647 h8800 the LORD * h3068 our God * h430; and we know * h3045 h8799 not with what we must serve * h5647 h8799 the LORD * h3068, until we come * h935 h8800 thither.
27 But the LORD * h3068 hardened * h2388 h8762 Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820, and he would * h14 h8804 not let them go * h7971 h8763.
28 And Pharaoh * h6547 said * h559 h8799 unto him, Get * h3212 h8798 thee from me, take heed * h8104 h8734 to thyself, see * h7200 h8800 my face * h6440 no more * h3254 h8686; for in that day * h3117 thou seest * h7200 h8800 my face * h6440 thou shalt die * h4191 h8799.
29 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, Thou hast spoken * h1696 h8765 well * h3651, I will see * h7200 h8800 thy face * h6440 again * h3254 h8686 no more.
