Exodus 8:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "Release my people in order that they may serve me!
2 But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague all your territory with frogs.
3 The Nile will swarm with frogs, and they will come up and go into your house, in your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading troughs.
4 Frogs will come up against you, your people, and all your servants."'"
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Extend your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the ponds, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.'"
6 So Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 The magicians did the same with their secret arts and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt too.
8 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray to the LORD that he may take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will release the people that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "You may have the honor over me� when shall I pray for you, your servants, and your people, for the frogs to be removed from you and your houses, so that they will be left only in the Nile?"
10 He said, "Tomorrow." And Moses said, "It will be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 The frogs will depart from you, your houses, your servants, and your people; they will be left only in the Nile."
12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD because of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 The LORD did as Moses asked� the frogs died out of the houses, the villages, and the fields.
14 The Egyptians piled them in countless heaps, and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.
16 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Extend your staff and strike the dust of the ground, and it will become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
17 They did so; Aaron extended his hand with his staff, he struck the dust of the ground, and it became gnats on people and on animals. All the dust of the ground became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 When the magicians attempted to bring forth gnats by their secret arts, they could not. So there were gnats on people and on animals.
19 The magicians said to Pharaoh, "It is the finger of God!" But Pharaoh's heart remained hard, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.
20 The LORD said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and position yourself before Pharaoh as he goes out to the water, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Release my people that they may serve me!
21 If you do not release my people, then I am going to send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and in your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies, and even the ground they stand on.
22 But on that day I will mark off the land of Goshen, where my people are staying, so that no swarms of flies will be there, that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of this land.
23 I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow."'"
24 The LORD did so; a thick swarm of flies came into Pharaoh's house and into the houses of his servants, and throughout the whole land of Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God within the land."
26 But Moses said, "That would not be the right thing to do, for the sacrifices we make to the LORD our God would be an abomination to the Egyptians. If we make sacrifices that are an abomination to the Egyptians right before their eyes, will they not stone us?
27 We must go on a three-day journey into the desert and sacrifice to the LORD our God, just as he is telling us."
28 Pharaoh said, "I will release you so that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the desert. Only you must not go very far. Do pray for me."
29 Moses said, "I am going to go out from you and pray to the LORD, and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again by not releasing the people to sacrifice to the LORD."
30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
31 and the LORD did as Moses asked� he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained!
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also and did not release the people.
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 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 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 And the frogs H6854 shall come up H5927 both on thee , and upon thy people, H5971 and upon all H3605 thy servants. H5650
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And they gathered them together H6651 H853 upon heaps H2563 H2563 : and the land H776 stank. H887
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 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 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 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 magicians H2748 said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh, H6547 This H1931 is the finger H676 of God: H430 and Pharaoh's H6547 heart H3820 was hardened, H2388 and he hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them; as H834 the LORD H3068 had said. H1696
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And Moses H4872 went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh, H6547 and entreated H6279 H413 the LORD. H3068
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 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
