Exodus 8

8:1And the lord said to Moses, Enter to Pharaoh! And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord, Send out my people that they may serve me!

8:2But if you should not be willing to send, behold, I strike all your boundaries with frogs.

8:3And the river will discharge forth frogs. And in ascending, they shall enter into your houses, and into the closets of your bedrooms, and upon your beds, and into the houses of your attendants, and your people, and in your batches of flour, and in your ovens.

8:4And upon you, and upon your people, and upon your attendants the frogs will ascend.

8:5And the lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother! Stretch forth in your hand the rod upon the rivers, and upon the aqueducts, and upon the marshes, and lead the frogs!

8:6And Aaron stretched out his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and he led the frogs. And the frog was brought up, and covered all the land of Egypt.

8:7And the enchanters of the Egyptians did likewise also with their sorceries; and they led the frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8:8And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Make a vow for me to the lord, and remove the frogs from me, and from my people! And I will send the people, and they shall sacrifice to the lord.

8:9And Moses said to Pharaoh, Order for me! when should I make a vow for you, and for your attendants, and your people, to remove from view the frogs from you, and from your people, and from your houses -- except for the ones in the river which shall be left behind?

8:10And he said, During tomorrow. He said therefore, As you have said; that you might see that there is no other besides the lord.

8:11And the frogs shall be removed from you, and from your houses, and from your attendants, and from your people, only the ones in the river will be left behind.

8:12And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharaoh. And Moses yelled out to the lord concerning the enactment of the frogs, as Pharaoh arranged.

8:13And the lord did just as Moses said, and ended the frogs from the houses, and from the properties, and from the fields.

8:14And they brought them heaps upon heaps, and the land stunk.

8:15And Pharaoh seeing that there came to pass a respite, therefore his heart was weighed down, and he did not hearken to them, just as the lord said.

8:16And the lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron! Stretch out with your hand your rod, and strike the embankment of the land! and there will be midges in all the land of Egypt.

8:17Then Aaron stretched out the rod with the hand, and he struck the embankment of the earth, and there were the midges among both men and among also the four-footed creatures. And among all embankments of the land there were the midges in all the land of Egypt.

8:18And the enchanters also did likewise in their sorceries, to lead out the midge, but they were not able. And there were midges among both men, and among the four-footed creatures.

8:19And the enchanters said then to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the lord said.

8:20And the lord said to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh! And behold, he will come forth near the water. And you shall say to him, Thus says the lord, Send out my people! that they shall serve me in the wilderness.

8:21But if you do not want to send out my people, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your attendants, and upon your people, and upon your houses the dog-fly. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, and into the land upon which they are upon it.

8:22And I will do an incredible thing in that day in the land of Goshen, upon which my people are upon it; upon which there will not be there the dog-fly, that you may know that I am the lord of all the earth.

8:23And I will make a difference between my people, and between your people. And in the next morning this will be the sign upon the land.

8:24And the lord did so. And the dog-fly came in multitude in the houses of Pharaoh, and in the houses of his attendants, and in all the land of Egypt. And the land was utterly destroyed because of the dog-fly.

8:25And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, saying, In going, you sacrifice to your God in the land!

8:26And Moses said, It is not possible to be so. For the abominations of the Egyptians we sacrifice to the lord our God. For if we should sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall have stones thrown at us.

8:27A journey of three days we shall go into the wilderness, and we shall sacrifice to the lord our God, just as he told us.

8:28And Pharaoh said, I shall send you, and you sacrifice to the lord your God in the wilderness! but do not go to extend far away! Make a vow then for me to the lord!

8:29And Moses said, Behold I will go forth from you, and I will make a vow to God, and the dog-fly shall go forth from you, and from your attendants, and from your people tomorrow. You should not add again, O Pharaoh, to deceive completely, to not send out the people to sacrifice to the lord.

8:30And Moses went forth from Pharaoh, and made a vow to God.

8:31And the lord did just as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharaoh, and from his attendants, and from his people; and he did not leave behind even one.

8:32And Pharaoh was oppressed in his heart also at this time, and he did not want to send out the people.
