1	And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
2	and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;	But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs.	If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs on your whole country.
3	and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs;	The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls.	The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading troughs.
4	indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”	The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’”	The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
5	And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.”	And the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’”	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6	And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;	So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.	So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land.
7	and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.	But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.	But the magicians did the same things by their secret arts; they also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8	And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH.”	Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the LORD to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”	Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD.”
9	And Moses says to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?”	Moses said to Pharaoh, “Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.”	Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.”
10	And he says, “Tomorrow.” And he says, “According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,	And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.	“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. Moses replied, “It will be as you say, so that you may know there is no one like the LORD our God.
11	and the frogs have turned aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; only in the River they remain.”	The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile.”	The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
12	And Moses—Aaron also—goes out from Pharaoh, and Moses cries to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He has set on Pharaoh;	So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh.	After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.
13	and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,	And the LORD did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.	And the LORD did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards and in the fields.
14	and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.	And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.	They were piled into heaps, and the land reeked of them.
15	And Pharaoh sees that there has been a respite, and he has hardened his heart, and has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.	But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.	But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
16	And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it has become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may become gnats in all the land of Egypt.’”	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats.”
17	And they do so, and Aaron stretches out his hand with his rod, and strikes the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land has been gnats in all the land of Egypt.	And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats in all the land of Egypt.	They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats came on people and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats.
18	And the enchanters do so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;	The magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast.	But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere,
19	and the enchanters say to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God”; and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.	Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.	the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the LORD had said.
20	And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh, as he goes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.	Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
21	for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.	Or else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.	If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.
22	And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land,	But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.	“’But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the LORD, am in this land.
23	and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”	Thus I will put a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall happen.”’”	I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign will occur tomorrow.’”
24	And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.	And the LORD did so. There came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants’ houses. Throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by the swarms of flies.	And the LORD did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials; throughout Egypt the land was ruined by the flies.
25	And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;	Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”	Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land.”
26	and Moses says, “[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us!	But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the LORD our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?	But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us?
27	We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”	We must go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he tells us.”	We must take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, as he commands us.”
28	And Pharaoh says, “I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me”;	So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. Plead for me.”	Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
29	and Moses says, “Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.”	Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you and I will plead with the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh cheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”	Moses answered, “As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the LORD, and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Only let Pharaoh be sure that he does not act deceitfully again by not letting the people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD.”
30	And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,	So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD.	Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
31	and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and turns aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there has not been one left;	And the LORD did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.	and the LORD did what Moses asked. The flies left Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not a fly remained.
32	and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.	But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go.	But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go.
