Exodus 10
1. And the LORD said * unto Moses,Go * in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened * his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew * these my signs before him:
2. And that thou mayest tell * in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought * in Egypt, and my signs which I have done * among them; that ye may know * how that I am the LORD.
3. And Moses and Aaron came in * unto Pharaoh, and said * unto him, Thus saith * the LORD God of the Hebrews,How long wilt thou refuse * to humble * thyself before me? let my people go * , that they may serve * me.
4. Else, if thou refuse to let my people go * , behold, to morrow will I bring * the locusts into thy coast:
5. And they shall cover * the face of the earth, that one cannot be able * to see * the earth: and they shall eat * the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth * unto you from the hail, and shall eat * every tree which groweth * for you out of the field:
6. And they shall fill * thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen * , since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned * himself, and went out * from Pharaoh.
7. And Pharaoh's servants said * unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go * , that they may serve * the LORD their God: knowest * thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed * ?
8. And Moses and Aaron were brought again * unto Pharaoh: and he said * unto them, Go * , serve * the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go * ?
9. And Moses said * , We will go * with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go * ; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
10. And he said * unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go * , and your little ones: look * to it; for evil is before you.
11. Not so: go * now ye that are men, and serve * the LORD; for that ye did desire * . And they were driven out * from Pharaoh's presence.
12. And the LORD said * unto Moses,Stretch out * thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up * upon the land of Egypt, and eat * every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left * .
13. And Moses stretched forth * his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought * an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought * the locusts.
14. And the locusts went up * over all the land of Egypt, and rested * in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15. For they covered * the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened * ; and they did eat * every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left * : and there remained * not any green thing in the trees,or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16. Then Pharaoh called * for Moses and Aaron in haste * ; and he said * , I have sinned * against the LORD your God, and against you.
17. Now therefore forgive * , I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat * the LORD your God, that he may take away * from me this death only.
18. And he went out * from Pharaoh, and intreated * the LORD.
19. And the LORD turned * a mighty strong west wind, which took away * the locusts, and cast * them into the Red sea; there remained * not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20. But the LORD hardened * Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go * .
21. And the LORD said * unto Moses,Stretch out * thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt * .
22. And Moses stretched forth * his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23. They saw * not one another,neither rose * any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24. And Pharaoh called * unto Moses, and said * , Go * ye, serve * the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed * : let your little ones also go * with you.
25. And Moses said * , Thou must give * us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice * unto the LORD our God.
26. Our cattle also shall go * with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind * ; for thereof must we take * to serve * the LORD our God; and we know * not with what we must serve * the LORD, until we come * thither.
27. But the LORD hardened * Pharaoh's heart, and he would * not let them go * .
28. And Pharaoh said * unto him, Get * thee from me, take heed * to thyself, see * my face no more * ; for in that day thou seest * my face thou shalt die * .
29. And Moses said * , Thou hast spoken * well, I will see * thy face again * no more.
