1Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh,then shalt thou say unto himThus, saith Yahweh,Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs; 3so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch,and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs: 4both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs. 5Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto AaronStretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools,and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt. 6So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt,and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts,and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt. 8Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and saidMake entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people,and I must lot the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh. 9And Moses said to PharaohExplain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses,only in the river, shall they remain? 10And he saidFor to-morrow. And he saidAccording to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God: 11so the frogs shall departfrom thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people,only in the river, shall they remain. 12Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh,and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh. 13And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses,and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields; 14and they piled them up, heapsheaps,and the land became loathsome. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them,as spake Yahweh. 16Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto AaronStretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land,so shall it become gnats in all the land of Egypt. 17And they did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts,all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt. 18And the sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts. 19Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh. 20Then said Yahweh unto MosesRise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters,then shalt thou say unto himThus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forthagainst thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly,and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are: 22then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land; 23so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign. 24And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly. 25Then did Pharaoh cry outunto Moses and to Aaron,and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land. 26And Moses said: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not stone us? 27A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert,then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto us. 28Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you goso shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey,make ye entreaty for me. 29And Moses said: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-flyfrom Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow,only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh. 30So Moses went out from Pharaoh,and made entreaty unto Yahweh. 31And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people,there remained not, one. 32And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also,and did not let the people go.
