<p>02:007:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.</p>
<p>02:007:002 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of
Israel out of his land.</p>
<p>02:007:003 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and
my wonders in the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:007:004 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand
upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the
children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great
judgments.</p>
<p>02:007:005 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I
stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children
of Israel from among them.</p>
<p>02:007:006 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did
they.</p>
<p>02:007:007 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and
three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.</p>
<p>02:007:008 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,</p>
<p>02:007:009 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for
you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.</p>
<p>02:007:010 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as
the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before
Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.</p>
<p>02:007:011 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now
the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with
their enchantments.</p>
<p>02:007:012 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became
serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.</p>
<p>02:007:013 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto
them; as the LORD had said.</p>
<p>02:007:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he
refuseth to let the people go.</p>
<p>02:007:015 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto
the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against
he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou
take in thine hand.</p>
<p>02:007:016 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath
sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may
serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou
wouldest not hear.</p>
<p>02:007:017 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the
LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand
upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be
turned to blood.</p>
<p>02:007:018 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river
shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the
water of the river.</p>
<p>02:007:019 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod,
and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon
their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and
upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and
that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both
in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.</p>
<p>02:007:020 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he
lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the
river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his
servants; and all the waters that were in the river were
turned to blood.</p>
<p>02:007:021 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank,
and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river;
and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:007:022 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto
them; as the LORD had said.</p>
<p>02:007:023 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set
his heart to this also.</p>
<p>02:007:024 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water
to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.</p>
<p>02:007:025 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten
the river.</p>
<p>02:008:001 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.</p>
<p>02:008:002 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all
thy borders with frogs:</p>
<p>02:008:003 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:</p>
<p>02:008:004 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people,
and upon all thy servants.</p>
<p>02:008:005 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.</p>
<p>02:008:006 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and
the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:008:007 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought
up frogs upon the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:008:008 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.</p>
<p>02:008:009 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?</p>
<p>02:008:010 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.</p>
<p>02:008:011 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.</p>
<p>02:008:012 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought
against Pharaoh.</p>
<p>02:008:013 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.</p>
<p>02:008:014 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
stank.</p>
<p>02:008:015 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his
heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.</p>
<p>02:008:016 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.</p>
<p>02:008:017 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.</p>
<p>02:008:018 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.</p>
<p>02:008:019 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.</p>
<p>02:008:020 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.</p>
<p>02:008:021 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.</p>
<p>02:008:022 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.</p>
<p>02:008:023 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to
morrow shall this sign be.</p>
<p>02:008:024 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.</p>
<p>02:008:025 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
sacrifice to your God in the land.</p>
<p>02:008:026 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?</p>
<p>02:008:027 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.</p>
<p>02:008:028 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.</p>
<p>02:008:029 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.</p>
<p>02:008:030 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.</p>
<p>02:008:031 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.</p>
<p>02:008:032 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people go.</p>
<p>02:009:001 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go,
that they may serve me.</p>
<p>02:009:002 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,</p>
<p>02:009:003 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in
the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels,
upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very
grievous murrain.</p>
<p>02:009:004 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the
cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is
the children's of Israel.</p>
<p>02:009:005 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD
shall do this thing in the land.</p>
<p>02:009:006 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle
of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel
died not one.</p>
<p>02:009:007 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle
of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
and he did not let the people go.</p>
<p>02:009:008 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it
toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.</p>
<p>02:009:009 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and
shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon
beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:009:010 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh;
and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil
breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.</p>
<p>02:009:011 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the
boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the
Egyptians.</p>
<p>02:009:012 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.</p>
<p>02:009:013 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the
LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve
me.</p>
<p>02:009:014 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart,
and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest
know that there is none like me in all the earth.</p>
<p>02:009:015 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and
thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the
earth.</p>
<p>02:009:016 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to
shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared
throughout all the earth.</p>
<p>02:009:017 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt
not let them go?</p>
<p>02:009:018 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a
very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the
foundation thereof even until now.</p>
<p>02:009:019 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou
hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be
found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail
shall come down upon them, and they shall die.</p>
<p>02:009:020 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:</p>
<p>02:009:021 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
servants and his cattle in the field.</p>
<p>02:009:022 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward
heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon
man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field,
throughout the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:009:023 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD
sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground;
and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:009:024 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of
Egypt since it became a nation.</p>
<p>02:009:025 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that
was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every
herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.</p>
<p>02:009:026 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were,
was there no hail.</p>
<p>02:009:027 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said
unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and
I and my people are wicked.</p>
<p>02:009:028 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more
mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye
shall stay no longer.</p>
<p>02:009:029 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city,
I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder
shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou
mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.</p>
<p>02:009:030 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet
fear the LORD God.</p>
<p>02:009:031 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in
the ear, and the flax was bolled.</p>
<p>02:009:032 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not
grown up.</p>
<p>02:009:033 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad
his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and
the rain was not poured upon the earth.</p>
<p>02:009:034 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the
thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his
heart, he and his servants.</p>
<p>02:009:035 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let
the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.</p>
<p>02:010:001 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:</p>
<p>02:010:002 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.</p>
<p>02:010:003 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.</p>
<p>02:010:004 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow
will I bring the locusts into thy coast:</p>
<p>02:010:005 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:</p>
<p>02:010:006 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.</p>
<p>02:010:007 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?</p>
<p>02:010:008 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?</p>
<p>02:010:009 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.</p>
<p>02:010:010 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.</p>
<p>02:010:011 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.</p>
<p>02:010:012 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.</p>
<p>02:010:013 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.</p>
<p>02:010:014 And the locust 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.</p>
<p>02:010:015 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.</p>
<p>02:010:016 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said,
I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.</p>
<p>02:010:017 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.</p>
<p>02:010:018 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.</p>
<p>02:010:019 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.</p>
<p>02:010:020 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
let the children of Israel go.</p>
<p>02:010:021 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.</p>
<p>02:010:022 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:</p>
<p>02:010:023 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.</p>
<p>02:010:024 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.</p>
<p>02:010:025 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.</p>
<p>02:010:026 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.</p>
<p>02:010:027 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
them go.</p>
<p>02:010:028 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.</p>
<p>02:010:029 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
again no more.</p>
<p>02:011:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more
upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go
hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you
out hence altogether.</p>
<p>02:011:002 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow
of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of
silver and jewels of gold.</p>
<p>02:011:003 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land
of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight
of the people.</p>
<p>02:011:004 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go
out into the midst of Egypt:</p>
<p>02:011:005 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the
first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto
the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and
all the firstborn of beasts.</p>
<p>02:011:006 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it
any more.</p>
<p>02:011:007 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move
his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that
the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and
Israel.</p>
<p>02:011:008 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow
down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the
people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he
went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.</p>
<p>02:011:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.</p>
<p>02:011:010 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and
the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let
the children of Israel go out of his land.</p>
