1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
|
1. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Go in H935 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 : for H3588 I H589 have hardened H3513 H853 his heart H3820 , and the heart H3820 of his servants H5650 , that H4616 I might show H7896 these H428 my signs H226 before H7130 him:
|
|
2. that ye may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children’s children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought among them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
|
2. And that H4616 thou mayest tell H5608 in the ears H241 of thy son H1121 , and of thy son H1121 's son H1121 , H853 what things H834 I have wrought H5953 in Egypt H4714 , and my signs H226 which H834 I have done H7760 among them ; that ye may know H3045 how that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
3. And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long dost thou refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
|
3. And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 came in H935 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , and said H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of the Hebrews H5680 , How long H5704 H4970 wilt thou refuse H3985 to humble thyself H6031 before H4480 H6440 me? let my people H5971 go H7971 , that they may serve H5647 me.
|
|
4. But if thou wilt not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all thy coasts.
|
4. Else H3588 , if H518 thou H859 refuse H3986 to let H853 my people H5971 go H7971 , behold H2009 , tomorrow H4279 will I bring H935 the locusts H697 into thy coast H1366 :
|
|
5. And they shall cover the face of the earth, and thou shalt not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
|
5. And they shall cover H3680 H853 the face H5869 of the earth H776 , that one cannot H3808 be able H3201 to see H7200 H853 the earth H776 : and they shall eat H398 H853 the residue H3499 of that which is escaped H6413 , which remaineth H7604 unto you from H4480 the hail H1259 , and shall eat H398 H853 every H3605 tree H6086 which groweth H6779 for you out of H4480 the field H7704 :
|
|
6. And thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of thy servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which thy fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
|
6. And they shall fill H4390 thy houses H1004 , and the houses H1004 of all H3605 thy servants H5650 , and the houses H1004 of all H3605 the Egyptians H4714 ; which H834 neither H3808 thy fathers H1 , nor thy fathers H1 ' fathers H1 have seen H7200 , since the day H4480 H3117 that they were H1961 upon H5921 the earth H127 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 . And he turned H6437 himself , and went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh H6547 .
|
|
7. And the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; wilt thou know that Egypt is destroyed?
|
7. And Pharaoh H6547 's servants H5650 said H559 unto H413 him , How long H5704 H4970 shall this man H2088 be H1961 a snare H4170 unto us? let H853 the men H376 go H7971 , that they may serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 their God H430 : knowest H3045 thou not yet H2962 that H3588 Egypt H4714 is destroyed H6 ?
|
|
8. And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
|
8. And H853 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 were brought again H7725 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 : and he said H559 unto H413 them, Go H1980 , serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 : but who H4310 H4310 are they that shall go H1980 ?
|
|
9. And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
|
9. And Moses H4872 said H559 , We will go H1980 with our young H5288 and with our old H2205 , with our sons H1121 and with our daughters H1323 , with our flocks H6629 and with our herds H1241 will we go H1980 ; for H3588 we must hold a feast H2282 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I will send you away, must I send away you store also? see that i. e. moral evil; but another reading is prokeitai, which is nearer to the Hebrew evil is attached to you.
|
10. And he said H559 unto H413 them , Let the LORD H3068 be H1961 so H3651 with H5973 you, as H834 I will let you go H7971 , and your little ones H2945 : look H7200 to it ; for H3588 evil H7451 is before H5048 H6440 you.
|
|
11. Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this ye yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
|
11. Not H3808 so H3651 : go H1980 now H4994 ye that are men H1397 , and serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 ; for H3588 that ye H859 did desire H1245 . And they were driven out H1644 from H4480 H854 Pharaoh H6547 's presence H6440 .
|
|
12. And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
|
12. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Stretch out H5186 thine hand H3027 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for the locusts H697 , that they may come up H5927 upon H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and eat H398 H853 every H3605 herb H6212 of the land H776 , even H853 all H3605 that H834 the hail H1259 hath left H7604 .
|
|
13. And Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
|
13. And Moses H4872 stretched forth H5186 H853 his rod H4294 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and the LORD H3068 brought H5090 an east H6921 wind H7307 upon the land H776 all H3605 that H1931 day H3117 , and all H3605 that night H3915 ; and when it was H1961 morning H1242 , the east H6921 wind H7307 brought H5375 H853 the locusts H697 .
|
|
14. and brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
|
14. And the locusts H697 went up H5927 over H5921 all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and rested H5117 in all H3605 the coasts H1366 of Egypt H4714 : very H3966 grievous H3515 were they ; before H6440 them there were H1961 no H3808 such H3651 locusts H697 as they, neither H3808 after H310 them shall be H1961 such H3651 .
|
|
15. And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
|
15. For they covered H3680 H853 the face H5869 of the whole H3605 earth H776 , so that the land H776 was darkened H2821 ; and they did eat H398 H853 every H3605 herb H6212 of the land H776 , and all H3605 the fruit H6529 of the trees H6086 which H834 the hail H1259 had left H3498 : and there remained H3498 not H3808 any H3605 green thing H3418 in the trees H6086 , or in the herbs H6212 of the field H7704 , through all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
16. And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
|
16. Then Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 in haste H4116 ; and he said H559 , I have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 your God H430 , and against you.
|
|
17. Gr. accept or allow pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
|
17. Now H6258 therefore forgive H5375 , I pray thee H4994 , my sin H2403 only H389 this once H6471 , and entreat H6279 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , that he may take away H5493 from H4480 H5921 me this H2088 H853 death H4194 only H7535 .
|
|
18. And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
|
18. And he went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh H6547 , and entreated H6279 H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
19. And the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
|
19. And the LORD H3068 turned H2015 a mighty H3966 strong H2389 west H3220 wind H7307 , which took away H5375 H853 the locusts H697 , and cast H8628 them into the Red H5488 sea H3220 ; there remained H7604 not H3808 one H259 locust H697 in all H3605 the coasts H1366 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
20. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
|
20. But the LORD H3068 hardened H2388 H853 Pharaoh H6547 's heart H3820 , so that he would not H3808 let H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 go H7971 .
|
|
21. And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
|
21. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Stretch out H5186 thine hand H3027 toward H5921 heaven H8064 , that there may be H1961 darkness H2822 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , even darkness H2822 which may be felt H4959 .
|
|
22. And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was Gr. darkness, blackness darkness very black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
|
22. And Moses H4872 stretched forth H5186 H853 his hand H3027 toward H5921 heaven H8064 ; and there was H1961 a thick H653 darkness H2822 in all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 three H7969 days H3117 :
|
|
23. And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
|
23. They saw H7200 not H3808 one H376 H853 another H251 , neither H3808 rose H6965 any H376 from his place H4480 H8478 for three H7969 days H3117 : but all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had H1961 light H216 in their dwellings H4186 .
|
|
24. And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only Gr. be left of leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
|
24. And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 unto H413 Moses H4872 , and said H559 , Go H1980 ye, serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 ; only H7535 let your flocks H6629 and your herds H1241 be stayed H3322 : let your little ones H2945 also H1571 go H1980 with H5973 you.
|
|
25. And Moses said, Nay, but thou shalt give to us whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
|
25. And Moses H4872 said H559 , Thou H859 must give H5414 us H3027 also H1571 sacrifices H2077 and burnt offerings H5930 , that we may sacrifice H6213 unto the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
26. And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
|
26. Our cattle H4735 also H1571 shall go H1980 with H5973 us ; there shall not H3808 a hoof H6541 be left behind H7604 ; for H3588 thereof H4480 must we take H3947 to serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 our God H430 ; and we H587 know H3045 not H3808 with what H4100 we must serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 , until H5704 we come H935 thither H8033 .
|
|
27. But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
|
27. But the LORD H3068 hardened H2388 H853 Pharaoh H6547 's heart H3820 , and he would H14 not H3808 let them go H7971 .
|
|
28. And Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day thou shalt appear before me, thou shalt die.
|
28. And Pharaoh H6547 said H559 unto him, Get H1980 thee from H4480 H5921 me , take heed H8104 to thyself, see H7200 my face H6440 no H408 more H3254 ; for H3588 in that day H3117 thou seest H7200 my face H6440 thou shalt die H4191 .
|
|
29. And Moses says, Thou hast said, I will not appear in thy presence again.
|
29. And Moses H4872 said H559 , Thou hast spoken H1696 well H3651 , I will see H7200 thy face H6440 again H3254 no H3808 more H5750 .
