8Exodus 8

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.Select Exodus 8:1

2And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your borders with frogs:Select Exodus 8:2

3And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:Select Exodus 8:3

4And the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants. ¶Select Exodus 8:4

5And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.Select Exodus 8:5

6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.Select Exodus 8:6

7And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. ¶Select Exodus 8:7

8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat 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 to the LORD.Select Exodus 8:8

9And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?Select Exodus 8:9

10And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like to the LORD our God.Select Exodus 8:10

11And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.Select Exodus 8:11

12And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.Select Exodus 8:12

13And 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.Select Exodus 8:13

14And they gathered them together on heaps: and the land stank.Select Exodus 8:14

15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and listened not to them; as the LORD had said. ¶Select Exodus 8:15

16And the LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.Select Exodus 8:16

17And 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.Select Exodus 8:17

18And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice on man, and on beast.Select Exodus 8:18

19Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had said. ¶Select Exodus 8:19

20And the LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; see, he comes forth to the water; and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.Select Exodus 8:20

21Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground where on they are.Select Exodus 8:21

22And 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 you may know that I am the LORD in the middle of the earth.Select Exodus 8:22

23And I will put a division between my people and your people: to morrow shall this sign be.Select Exodus 8:23

24And 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. ¶Select Exodus 8:24

25And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go you, sacrifice to your God in the land.Select Exodus 8:25

26And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: see, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?Select Exodus 8:26

27We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.Select Exodus 8:27

28And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away: entreat for me.Select Exodus 8:28

29And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, and I will entreat 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.Select Exodus 8:29

30And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.Select Exodus 8:30

31And 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.Select Exodus 8:31

32And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.Select Exodus 8:32
