2 so you may tell your children and your grandchildren how I toyed with the Egyptians and about my miraculous signs that I performed among them, so all of you may know that I am the LORD. 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.”

Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
4 But if you refuse to let my people go, tomorrow I'm going to bring locusts 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 They'll cover the surface of the land so a person cannot see the ground, and they'll eat what is left for you of the residue from the hail. They'll also eat all your trees that grow in the orchards. 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 Your houses will be filled, along with the houses of all your officials and the houses of all the Egyptians—something that neither your fathers nor your ancestors ever saw from the time they were on earth until now.'| Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh's presence. 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 Then the officials of Pharaoh told him, |How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go so they may serve the LORD their God! Don't you realize yet that Egypt is about to be destroyed?| 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 realize that Egypt is ruined?”
8 Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh and he told them, |Go, serve the LORD your God. But exactly who will go?| So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh.

9 Moses said, |We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and our daughters, with our sheep and our cattle, because it's a festival to the LORD 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 Then Pharaoh told them, |The LORD will certainly be with you if I let you and your little ones go. I know some evil plan is in your mind. 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 No! Let the men go and serve the LORD, for that is what you were seeking.| Then they were driven out from the presence 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.

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 The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on all the territory of Egypt in great swarms. There had never been locusts like this before nor would there ever be again. 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 They covered the surface of the entire land so that it was dark. They ate all the vegetation of the land and the fruit from the trees that the hail left. Nothing green was left on the trees or on the vegetation 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.

17 Now, please forgive my sin only this time, and pray to the LORD your God that he would at least remove this from me.| 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 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD. So he went out from Pharaoh and pleaded with the LORD. Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD.
19 Then the LORD brought a very strong west wind that took the locusts and drove them into the Reed Sea. Not one locust remained 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.

22 So Moses stretched his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for 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.

Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.
24 Pharaoh called Moses and said, |Go serve the LORD, but your flocks and your cattle are to remain. Even your little ones can 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 Moses said, |You must let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings to offer to the LORD our God.

26 And even our livestock must go with us. Not a hoof will be left behind because we will use some of them to serve the LORD our God, and until we get there we won't know what we need to serve the LORD.| 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.”

Watch out that you never see my face again, because on the day you see my face, you will 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 Moses said, |Just as you have said, I won't see your face again!| 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.”
