1. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'The Lord says this: "Let My people go, so they may worship Me.
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Go H935 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , and say H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Let H853 my people H5971 go H7971 , that they may serve H5647 me.
|
|
2. But if you will not let them go, I will bring trouble to your whole country with frogs.
|
2. And if H518 thou H859 refuse H3986 to let them go H7971 , behold H2009 , I H595 will smite H5062 H853 all H3605 thy borders H1366 with frogs H6854 :
|
|
3. The Nile will be full of frogs. They will come up and go in your house and in your room and on your bed. They will come in the houses of your servants and on your people. They will come in your stoves and in your bread dough.
|
3. And the river H2975 shall bring forth frogs abundantly H8317 H6854 , which shall go up H5927 and come H935 into thine house H1004 , and into thy bedchamber H2315 H4904 , and upon H5921 thy bed H4296 , and into the house H1004 of thy servants H5650 , and upon thy people H5971 , and into thine ovens H8574 , and into thy kneading troughs H4863 :
|
|
4. The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your servants." ' "
|
4. And the frogs H6854 shall come up H5927 both on thee , and upon thy people H5971 , and upon all H3605 thy servants H5650 .
|
|
5. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Put out your hand with your special stick over the rivers and over the pools. Make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.' "
|
5. And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Say H559 unto H413 Aaron H175 , Stretch forth H5186 H853 thine hand H3027 with thy rod H4294 over H5921 the streams H5104 , over H5921 the rivers H2975 , and over H5921 the ponds H98 , and cause H853 frogs H6854 to come up H5927 upon H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
6. So Aaron put his hand out over the waters of Egypt. And the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
|
6. And Aaron H175 stretched out H5186 H853 his hand H3027 over H5921 the waters H4325 of Egypt H4714 ; and the frogs H6854 came up H5927 , and covered H3680 H853 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
7. But the wonder-workers did the same thing using their secret ways. They made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
|
7. And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments H3909 , and brought up H5927 H853 frogs H6854 upon H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
8. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "You pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. And I will let the people go, so they may give a gift in worship to the Lord."
|
8. Then Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , and said H559 , Entreat H6279 H413 the LORD H3068 , that he may take away H5493 the frogs H6854 from H4480 me , and from my people H4480 H5971 ; and I will let H853 the people H5971 go H7971 , that they may do sacrifice H2076 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. Moses said to Pharaoh, "The honor is yours to tell me when I should pray for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses and stay only in the Nile."
|
9. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto Pharaoh H6547 , Glory H6286 over H5921 me: when H4970 shall I entreat H6279 for thee , and for thy servants H5650 , and for thy people H5971 , to destroy H3772 the frogs H6854 from H4480 thee and thy houses H4480 H1004 , that they may remain H7604 in the river H2975 only H7535 ?
|
|
10. Pharaoh said, "Tomorrow." And Moses said, "May it be as you say. You will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
|
10. And he said H559 , Tomorrow H4279 . And he said H559 , Be it according to thy word H1697 : that H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 there is none H369 like unto the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
11. The frogs will go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They will stay only in the Nile."
|
11. And the frogs H6854 shall depart H5493 from H4480 thee and from thy houses H4480 H1004 , and from thy servants H4480 H5650 , and from thy people H4480 H5971 ; they shall remain H7604 in the river H2975 only H7535 .
|
|
12. Then Moses and Aaron went away from Pharaoh. And Moses cried to the Lord about the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
|
12. And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh H6547 : and Moses H4872 cried H6817 unto H413 the LORD H3068 because of H5921 H1697 the frogs H6854 which H834 he had brought H7760 against Pharaoh H6547 .
|
|
13. The Lord did as Moses said. The frogs died in and around the houses and the fields.
|
13. And the LORD H3068 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses H4872 ; and the frogs H6854 died H4191 out of H4480 the houses H1004 , out of H4480 the villages H2691 , and out of H4480 the fields H7704 .
|
|
14. The people gathered them together, and the land had a bad smell.
|
14. And they gathered them together H6651 H853 upon heaps H2563 H2563 : and the land H776 stank H887 .
|
|
15. But when Pharaoh saw that there was rest from the trouble, he made his heart hard. He did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
|
15. But when Pharaoh H6547 saw H7200 that H3588 there was H1961 respite H7309 , he hardened H3513 H853 his heart H3820 , and hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them; as H834 the LORD H3068 had said H1696 .
|
|
16. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Put out your special stick and hit the dust of the earth. It will become lice through all the land of Egypt.' "
|
16. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Say H559 unto H413 Aaron H175 , Stretch out H5186 H853 thy rod H4294 , and smite H5221 H853 the dust H6083 of the land H776 , that it may become H1961 lice H3654 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
17. And they did so. Aaron put out his hand with his stick and hit the dust of the earth. And there were lice on man and animal. All the dust of the earth became lice through all the land of Egypt.
|
17. And they did H6213 so H3651 ; for Aaron H175 stretched out H5186 H853 his hand H3027 with his rod H4294 , and smote H5221 H853 the dust H6083 of the earth H776 , and it became H1961 lice H3654 in man H120 , and in beast H929 ; all H3605 the dust H6083 of the land H776 became H1961 lice H3654 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
18. The wonderworkers tried to cause lice to come by using their secret ways. But they could not. So there were lice on man and animal.
|
18. And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments H3909 to bring forth H3318 H853 lice H3654 , but they could H3201 not H3808 : so there were H1961 lice H3654 upon man H120 , and upon beast H929 .
|
|
19. Then the wonderworkers said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." But Pharaoh's heart was hard. He did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
|
19. Then the magicians H2748 said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , This H1931 is the finger H676 of God H430 : and Pharaoh H6547 's heart H3820 was hardened H2388 , and he hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them; as H834 the LORD H3068 had said H1696 .
|
|
20. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and wait for Pharaoh as he goes out to the water. Say to him, 'The Lord says this: "Let My people go, so they may worship Me.
|
20. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Rise up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , and stand H3320 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547 ; lo H2009 , he cometh forth H3318 to the water H4325 ; and say H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Let my people H5971 go H7971 , that they may serve H5647 me.
|
|
21. For if you will not let My people go, I will send many flies upon you and upon your servants and upon your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies, and also the ground will be covered with them.
|
21. Else H3588 , if H518 thou wilt not H369 let H853 my people H5971 go H7971 , behold H2009 , I will send H7971 H853 swarms H6157 of flies upon thee , and upon thy servants H5650 , and upon thy people H5971 , and into thy houses H1004 : and the houses H1004 of the Egyptians H4714 shall be full H4390 of H853 swarms H6157 of flies , and also H1571 the ground H127 whereon H834 H5921 they H1992 are .
|
|
22. But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen where My people are living so no flies will be there. Then you may know that I, the Lord, am in the land.
|
22. And I will sever H6395 in that H1931 day H3117 H853 the land H776 of Goshen H1657 , in H5921 which H834 my people H5971 dwell H5975 , that no H1115 swarms H6157 of flies shall be H1961 there H8033 ; to the end H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 in the midst H7130 of the earth H776 .
|
|
23. I will divide My people from your people. Tomorrow you will see this happen." ' "
|
23. And I will put H7760 a division H6304 between H996 my people H5971 and thy people H5971 : tomorrow H4279 shall this H2088 sign H226 be H1961 .
|
|
24. And the Lord did so. And there came a great many flies flying all over inside the house of the Pharaoh and in the houses of his servants. The land was destroyed because of the many flies in all the land of Egypt.
|
24. And the LORD H3068 did H6213 so H3651 ; and there came H935 a grievous H3515 swarm H6157 of flies into the house H1004 of Pharaoh H6547 , and into his servants H5650 ' houses H1004 , and into all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 : the land H776 was corrupted H7843 by reason of H4480 H6440 the swarm H6157 of flies .
|
|
25. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "Go and give a gift in worship to your God here in the land."
|
25. And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for H413 Moses H4872 and for Aaron H175 , and said H559 , Go H1980 ye, sacrifice H2076 to your God H430 in the land H776 .
|
|
26. But Moses said, "It is not right to do this. For the Egyptians hate what we would give in worship to the Lord our God. If the Egyptians see us giving this gift and doing what they think is sinful, will they not throw stones at us?
|
26. And Moses H4872 said H559 , It is not H3808 meet H3559 so H3651 to do H6213 ; for H3588 we shall sacrifice H2076 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 to the LORD H3068 our God H430 : lo H2005 , shall we sacrifice H2076 H853 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 before their eyes H5869 , and will they not H3808 stone H5619 us?
|
|
27. We must travel three days to the place where no people live and give a gift in worship to the Lord our God, as He tells us to do."
|
27. We will go H1980 three H7969 days H3117 ' journey H1870 into the wilderness H4057 , and sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 our God H430 , as H834 he shall command H559 H413 us.
|
|
28. So Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, so you may give a gift to the Lord your God. But do not go very far away. Pray for me."
|
28. And Pharaoh H6547 said H559 , I H595 will let you go H7971 , that ye may sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in the wilderness H4057 ; only H7535 ye shall not H3808 go H1980 very far away H7368 H7368 : entreat H6279 for H1157 me.
|
|
29. Then Moses said, "I am leaving you. I will pray to the Lord that the many flies may leave Pharaoh and his servants and his people tomorrow. But do not let Pharaoh lie again by not letting the people go to give a gift on an altar to the Lord."
|
29. And Moses H4872 said H559 , Behold H2009 , I H595 go out H3318 from H4480 H5973 thee , and I will entreat H6279 H413 the LORD H3068 that the swarms H6157 of flies may depart H5493 from Pharaoh H4480 H6547 , from his servants H4480 H5650 , and from his people H4480 H5971 , tomorrow H4279 : but H7535 let not H408 Pharaoh H6547 deal deceitfully H2048 any more H3254 in not H1115 letting H853 the people H5971 go H7971 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 .
|
|
30. So Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
|
30. And Moses H4872 went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh H6547 , and entreated H6279 H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
31. And the Lord did as Moses asked. He took the many flies away from Pharaoh and his servants and his people. Not one was left.
|
31. And the LORD H3068 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses H4872 ; and he removed H5493 the swarms H6157 of flies from Pharaoh H4480 H6547 , from his servants H4480 H5650 , and from his people H4480 H5971 ; there remained H7604 not H3808 one H259 .
|
|
32. But Pharaoh made his heart hard this time also. He did not let the people go.
|
32. And Pharaoh H6547 hardened H3513 H853 his heart H3820 at this H2063 time H6471 also H1571 , neither H3808 would he let H853 the people H5971 go H7971 .
