1And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, thus says LORD JEHOVAH: ‘Send out my people and they will serve me. 2And if you choose not to send them out, behold I shall strike your entire border with frogs: 3And the river shall crawl with frogs, and they shall come up and they shall enter your house, your bedroom and the place of your couch, your bed and in the house of your Servants and with your people and in your inner rooms and in your kneading troughs: 4And among you and among all your people frogs will come up. 5And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Say to Aaron your brother: ‘Lift your hand with your staff over the rivers and over the hills and over the pools and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt.’” 6And Aaron lifted his hand over the waters of the Egyptians and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7And also the Sorcerers did likewise in their enchantments and they brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8And Pharaoh called for Moshe and for Aaron and he said to them, “Pray before LORD JEHOVAH, and he will remove the frogs from me and from my people and I shall send out the people and they will sacrifice to LORD JEHOVAH.” 9And Moshe said to Pharaoh: “Ask for yourself a time when I shall pray for you and for your Servants and for your people, and he will remove the frogs from you and from your house.”

10And he said to him, “Tomorrow”, and he said to him, “According to your word, so that you may know there is none like LORD JEHOVAH our God. 11And he will take away the frogs from you and from your house and from your Servants and from your people; only in the river shall they crawl.” 12And Moshe and Aaron went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and Moshe prayed before LORD JEHOVAH because of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh. 13And LORD JEHOVAH did according to the word of Moshe and the frogs died from the houses and from the enclosures and from the fields. 14And they gathered them in heaps by heaps and the land stank. 15And Pharaoh saw that relief came and he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, according to what LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe.

16And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Say to Aaron, “Lift your staff and strike the dust of the ground, and lice will be in all the land of Egypt.” 17And he did so, and Aaron lifted his hand with his staff and he struck the dust of the ground and there were lice on the children of men and on the animals; all the dust of the land became itself lice in all the land of Egypt. 18And the Sorcerers did in this way also by their sorceries and they were not capable of removal of the lice, and there were lice on the children of men and on the animals. 19And the Sorcerers said to Pharaoh, “It is the finger of God”, and the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as LORD JEHOVAH had said.

20And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “Arise at dawn and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he will go out to the water, and say to him: “Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, ‘Send out my people and they will serve me. 21And if you choose not to send out my people, behold, I am sending upon you and upon your people and upon your houses swarms of insects of every kind and the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with the swarms, as the land of those upon it. 22And I shall separate in that day the land of Gashan of my people who dwell in it, that swarms of insects shall not be there, so that you may know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH within the Earth. 23And I shall make a distinction among my people and your people, and this sign will occur tomorrow.” 24And LORD JEHOVAH did so and he brought powerful insect swarms to the house of Pharaoh and to the house of his Servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was destroyed because of the swarms.

25And Pharaoh called Moshe and Aaron and said to them, “Go sacrifice before LORD JEHOVAH your God in the land.” 26And Moshe said, “It is not good to do so, because we sacrifice that which is the abomination of the Egyptians to LORD JEHOVAH, and if we slaughter the worshipped creatures of Egyptians in their sight, they will stone us. 27Let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness and we will sacrifice to LORD JEHOVAH our God, as he said to us.” 28And Pharaoh said, “I shall send you and you will sacrifice to LORD JEHOVAH your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go far, and pray also for me.” 29And Moshe said to Pharaoh, “Behold, I go out from your presence and I shall pray before LORD JEHOVAH and he will remove the swarms from Pharaoh and from his Servants and from his people tomorrow, only do not let Pharaoh continue to deceive without sending out the people, and we will sacrifice to LORD JEHOVAH.”

30And Moshe went out from the presence of Pharaoh and he prayed before LORD JEHOVAH. 31And LORD JEHOVAH did according to the word of Moshe, and he removed the swarms from Pharaoh and from his Servants and from his people, and not even one was left. 32And Pharaoh hardened his heart also at this time and he did not send the people away.
