1And the Yahuah spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus says the Yahuah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2And if you refuse to let go, behold, I will smite all your borders with frogs:
3And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneadingtroughs:
4And the frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
5And the Yahuah spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the Yahuah, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Yahuah.
9And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, they may remain in the river only?
10And he said, To morrow. And he said, according to your word: that you mayest know that none like unto the Yahuah our Elohim.
11And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.
12And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Yahuah because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13And the Yahuah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Yahuah had said.
16And the Yahuah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This the finger of Elohim: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Yahuah had said.
20And the Yahuah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus says the Yahuah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms , and also the ground whereon they .
22And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms shall be there; to the end you mayest know that I the Yahuah in the midst of the earth.
23And I will put a division between my people and your people: to morrow shall this sign be.
24And the Yahuah did so; and there came a grievous swarm into the house of Pharaoh, and his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm .
25And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your Elohim in the land.
26And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the Yahuah our Elohim: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Yahuah our Elohim, as he shall command us.
28And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Yahuah your Elohim in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
29And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, and I will intreat the Yahuah that the swarms may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Yahuah.
30And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Yahuah.
31And the Yahuah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
32And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
