2 and so that you may recount in the ears of your son and the son of your son how I have dealt severely with Egypt, and My signs that I have set among them, and you⁺ shall know that I am YHWH.” and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, that you may know that I am the LORD.” that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the LORD.”
3 And Moses came in—and Aaron—to Pharaoh, and they said to him, “Thus says YHWH God of the Hebrews, ‘Until when will you refuse to humble yourself before My face? Send out My people, that they may serve Me. So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me. So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
4 For if you refuse to send out My people, behold, tomorrow I am bringing the locust into your territory. For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow.
5 And it shall cover the eye of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. And it shall eat the remnant of what is left, what remains for you⁺ from the hail, and it shall eat every tree that grows for you⁺ from the field. and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field, They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.
6 And they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all Egypt—which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, from the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh. and they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.
7 And the servants of Pharaoh said to him, “Until when shall this one be a snare to us? Send out the men, that they may serve YHWH their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?” Then Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?” Pharaoh’s officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve YHWH your⁺ God! Who and who are the ones going?” So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God. But which ones are to go?” Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But tell me who will be going.”
9 And Moses said, “With our young and with our old we will go, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go, for it is a feast of YHWH for us.” Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.” Moses answered, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival to the LORD.”
10 And he said to them, “Thus may YHWH be with you⁺ when I send out you⁺, and your⁺ little ones. See, for evil is before your⁺ faces. But he said to them, “The LORD be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind. Pharaoh said, “The LORD be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil.
11 Not so! Go now, the men, and serve YHWH. For that is what you⁺ are seeking.” And they were driven out from the face of Pharaoh. No! Go, the men among you, and serve the LORD, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. No! Have only the men go and worship the LORD, since that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence.
12 And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locust, and they shall go up upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land—all that the hail has left.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.” And the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.”
13 And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and YHWH drove an east wind over the land all that day and all the night. And when it was the morning, the east wind brought the locust. So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts. So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the LORD made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;
14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt and rested in all the territory of Egypt. It was very severe; before them there had never been such a locust as it, and after it there shall never be such. The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again. they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.
15 And it covered the eye of all the land, and the land was darkened. And it ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. And there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field in all the land of Egypt. They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt. They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
16 And Pharaoh hurried to call for Moses and for Aaron and said, “I have sinned against YHWH your⁺ God and against you⁺. Then Pharaoh hastily called Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
17 And now forgive, please, my sin only this once, and pray to YHWH your⁺ God He may take away from me only this death.” Now therefore, forgive my sin, please, only this once, and plead with the LORD your God only to remove this death from me.” Now forgive my sin once more and pray to the LORD your God to take this deadly plague away from me.”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and he prayed to YHWH. So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the LORD. Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD.
19 And YHWH turned a very mighty sea wind, and it lifted up the locust and blew it into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt. And the LORD turned the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt. And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea. Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt.
20 And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send out the sons of Israel. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21 And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there shall be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.”
22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.
23 They could not see, each man his brother, and no man rose from his place for three days. And for all the sons of Israel there was light in their dwellings. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived. No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.
24 And Pharaoh called to Moses and said, “Go, serve YHWH. Only your⁺ flocks and your⁺ herds shall stay behind; also your⁺ little ones shall go with you⁺.” Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the LORD; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.” Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”
25 And Moses said, “You also must give into our hands sacrifices and burnt offerings, and we shall make them to YHWH our God. But Moses said, “You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
26 And also our livestock shall go with us. Not a hoof shall remain, for from it we shall take to serve YHWH our God, and we do not know with what we shall serve YHWH until we arrive there.” Our livestock also must go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we must take of them to serve the LORD our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.” Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the LORD our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the LORD.”

28 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go away from me! Take heed to yourself—do not again see my face! For in the day you see my face, you shall die!” Then Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die.” Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die.”
29 And Moses said, “Thus you have spoken! I will not ever again see your face!” Moses said, “As you say! I will not see your face again.” “Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear before you again.”
