Dual Panel1Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Go<935> to Pharaoh<6547> and say<559> to him, 'Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "Let<7971> My people<5971> go<7971>, that they may serve<5647> Me.
2"But if<518> you refuse<3986> to let<7971> them go<7971>, behold<2009>, I will smite<5062> your whole<3605> territory<1366> with frogs<6854>.
3"The Nile<2975> will swarm<8317> with frogs<6854>, which will come<5927> up and go<935> into your house<1004> and into your bedroom<2315><4904> and on your bed<4296>, and into the houses<1004> of your servants<5650> and on your people<5971>, and into your ovens<8574> and into your kneading<4863> bowls<4863>.
4"So the frogs<6854> will come<5927> up on you and your people<5971> and all<3605> your servants<5650>."'"
5Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Say<559> to Aaron<175>, 'Stretch<5186> out your hand<3027> with your staff<4294> over<5921> the rivers<5104>, over<5921> the streams<2975> and over<5921> the pools<98>, and make frogs<6854> come<5927> up on the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.'"
6So Aaron<175> stretched<5186> out his hand<3027> over<5921> the waters<4325> of Egypt<4714>, and the frogs<6854> came<5927> up and covered<3680> the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.
7The magicians<2748> did<6213> the same<3651> with their secret<3909> arts<3909>, making frogs<6854> come<5927> up on the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.
8Then Pharaoh<6547> called<7121> for Moses<4872> and Aaron<175> and said<559>, "Entreat<6279> the LORD<3068> that He remove<5493> the frogs<6854> from me and from my people<5971>; and I will let<7971> the people<5971> go<7971>, that they may sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068>."
9Moses<4872> said<559> to Pharaoh<6547>, "The honor<6286> is yours to tell me: when<4970> shall I entreat<6279> for you and your servants<5650> and your people<5971>, that the frogs<6854> be destroyed<3772> from you and your houses<1004>, that they may be left<7604> only<7534> in the Nile<2975>?"
10Then he said<559>, "Tomorrow<4279>." So he said<559>, "May it be according to your word<1697>, that you may know<3045> that there<369> is no<369> one<369> like the LORD<3068> our God<430>.
11"The frogs<6854> will depart<5493> from you and your houses<1004> and your servants<5650> and your people<5971>; they will be left<7604> only<7534> in the Nile<2975>."
12Then Moses<4872> and Aaron<175> went<3318> out from Pharaoh<6547>, and Moses<4872> cried<6817> to the LORD<3068> concerning<5921><1697> the frogs<6854> which<834> He had inflicted<7760> upon Pharaoh<6547>.
13The LORD<3068> did<6213> according to the word<1697> of Moses<4872>, and the frogs<6854> died<4191> out of the houses<1004>, the courts<2691>, and the fields<7704>.
14So they piled<6651> them in heaps<2563>, and the land<776> became<887> foul<887>.
15But when Pharaoh<6547> saw<7200> that there was relief<7309>, he hardened<3513> his heart<3820> and did not listen<8085> to them, as the LORD<3068> had said<1696>.
16Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Say<559> to Aaron<175>, 'Stretch<5186> out your staff<4294> and strike<5221> the dust<6083> of the earth<776>, that it may become<1961> gnats<3654> through all<3605> the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.'"
17They did<6213> so<3651>; and Aaron<175> stretched<5186> out his hand<3027> with his staff<4294>, and struck<5221> the dust<6083> of the earth<776>, and there were gnats<3654> on man<120> and beast<929>. All<3605> the dust<6083> of the earth<776> became<1961> gnats<3654> through all<3605> the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.
18The magicians<2748> tried<6213> with their secret<3909> arts<3909> to bring<3318> forth<3318> gnats<3654>, but they could<3201> not; so there were gnats<3654> on man<120> and beast<929>.
19Then the magicians<2748> said<559> to Pharaoh<6547>, "This<1931> is the finger<676> of God<430>." But Pharaoh's<6547> heart<3820> was hardened<2388>, and he did not listen<8085> to them, as the LORD<3068> had said<1696>.
20Now the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Rise<7925> early<7925> in the morning<1242> and present<3320> yourself<3320> before<6440> Pharaoh<6547>, as he comes<3318> out to the water<4325>, and say<559> to him, 'Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "Let<7971> My people<5971> go<7971>, that they may serve<5647> Me.
21"For if<518> you do not let<7971> My people<5971> go<7971>, behold<2009>, I will send<7971> swarms<6157> of flies on you and on your servants<5650> and on your people<5971> and into your houses<1004>; and the houses<1004> of the Egyptians<4714> will be full<4390> of swarms<6157> of flies, and also<1571> the ground<127> on which<834> they dwell.
22"But on that day<3117> I will set<6395> apart<6395> the land<776> of Goshen<1657>, where<834> My people<5971> are living<5975>, so that no<1115> swarms<6157> of flies will be there<8033>, in order<4616> that you may know<3045> that I, the LORD<3068>, am in the midst<7130> of the land<776>.
23"I will put<7760> a division<6304> between<996> My people<5971> and your people<5971>. Tomorrow<4279> this<2088> sign<226> will occur<1961>."'"
24Then the LORD<3068> did<6213> so<3651>. And there came<935> great<3515> swarms<6157> of flies into the house<1004> of Pharaoh<6547> and the houses<1004> of his servants<5650> and the land<776> was laid<7843> waste<7843> because<4480><6440> of the swarms<6157> of flies in all<3605> the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.
25Pharaoh<6547> called<7121> for Moses<4872> and Aaron<175> and said<559>, "Go<1980>, sacrifice<2076> to your God<430> within the land<776>."
26But Moses<4872> said<559>, "It is not right<3559> to do<6213> so<3651>, for we will sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068> our God<430> what is an abomination<8441> to the Egyptians<4714>. If<2005> we sacrifice<2076> what is an abomination<8441> to the Egyptians<4714> before their eyes<5869>, will they not then stone<5619> us?
27"We must go<1980> a three<7969> days'<3117> journey<1870> into the wilderness<4057> and sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068> our God<430> as He commands<559> us."
28Pharaoh<6547> said<559>, "I will let<7971> you go<7971>, that you may sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068> your God<430> in the wilderness<4057>; only<7534> you shall not go<1980> very far<7368> away. Make<6279> supplication<6279> for me."
29Then Moses<4872> said<559>, "Behold<2009>, I am going<3318> out from you, and I shall make<6279> supplication<6279> to the LORD<3068> that the swarms<6157> of flies may depart<5493> from Pharaoh<6547>, from his servants<5650>, and from his people<5971> tomorrow<4279>; only<7534> do not let Pharaoh<6547> deal<8524> deceitfully<8524> again<3254> in not letting<7971> the people<5971> go<7971> to sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068>."
30So Moses<4872> went<3318> out from Pharaoh<6547> and made<6279> supplication<6279> to the LORD<3068>.
31The LORD<3068> did<6213> as Moses<4872> asked<1697>, and removed<5493> the swarms<6157> of flies from Pharaoh<6547>, from his servants<5650> and from his people<5971>; not one<259> remained<7604>.
32But Pharaoh<6547> hardened<3513> his heart<3820> this<2088> time<6471> also<1571>, and he did not let<7971> the people<5971> go<7971>.
