8:1 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.
8:2 But
if
you
refuse
to
let
them
go,
behold,
I
will
plague
all
your
country
with
frogs.
8:3 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.
8:4 The
frogs
shall
come
up
on
you
and
on
your
people
and
on
all
your
servants."'"
8:5 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!'"
8:6 So
Aaron
stretched
out
his
hand
over
the
waters
of
Egypt,
and
the
frogs
came
up
and
covered
the
land
of
Egypt.
8:7 But
the
magicians
did
the
same
by
their
secret
arts
and
made
frogs
come
up
on
the
land
of
Egypt.
8:8 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."
8:9 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."
8:10 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.
8:11 The
frogs
shall
go
away
from
you
and
your
houses
and
your
servants
and
your
people.
They
shall
be
left
only
in
the
Nile."
8:12 So
Moses
and
Aaron
went
out
from
Pharaoh,
and
Moses
cried
to
the
LORD
about
the
frogs,
as
he
had
agreed
with
Pharaoh.
8:13 And
the
LORD
did
according
to
the
word
of
Moses.
The
frogs
died
out
in
the
houses,
the
courtyards,
and
the
fields.
8:14 And
they
gathered
them
together
in
heaps,
and
the
land
stank.
8:15 But
when
Pharaoh
saw
that
there
was
a
respite,
he
hardened
his
heart
and
would
not
listen
to
them,
as
the
LORD
had
said.
8:16 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.'"
8:17 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.
8:18 The
magicians
tried
by
their
secret
arts
to
produce
gnats,
but
they
could
not.
So
there
were
gnats
on
man
and
beast.
8:19 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.
8:20 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.
8:21 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.
8:22 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.
8:23 Thus
I
will
put
a
division
between
my
people
and
your
people.
Tomorrow
this
sign
shall
happen."'"
8:24 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.
8:25 Then
Pharaoh
called
Moses
and
Aaron
and
said,
"Go,
sacrifice
to
your
God
within
the
land."
8:26 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
8:27 We
must
go
three
days'
journey
into
the
wilderness
and
sacrifice
to
the
LORD
our
God
as
he
tells
us."
8:28 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."
8:29 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."
8:30 So
Moses
went
out
from
Pharaoh
and
prayed
to
the
LORD.
8:31 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.
8:32 But
Pharaoh
hardened
his
heart
this
time
also,
and
did
not
let
the
people
go.
