16 And the LORD said unto MoSee ch. 7. ses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and ...there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land See ch. 7. of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 19 Then the magicians 18 said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

20 And the LORD 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 saith the LORD, * Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. 22 And I will Msever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. 23 And I will " put a division between my people and thy people by to-morrow shall this sign be. 24 And the LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies. 25 And Pharaoh

1 And the LORD said unto

IO Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for "I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs in the midst of them: 2 and that Cp ch.13thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, 3 what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD. 3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, 1. How long wilt thou refuse to Ch.14 humble thyself before me? let my 4. people go, that they may serve me. 4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border: 5 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not 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 ch.& out of the field: 6 and thy houses 2 shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, 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

18.

our herds will we go; for we must ich. 1. hold a feast unto the LORD. 10 And Cp. ch.3. he said unto them, So be the LORD with you, as I will let you go, and j ver. 24. 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 is what ye desire.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the See ch. 7. land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and 'eat every herb of the I ver. 4, 5. 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 the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And the locusts went up over P. 78. 46 all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very griev ous were they; "before them there n Joel 2. 2. 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 Ps. 105. 25. land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb 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 pch. 9. 27. 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 an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt. 20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of 21. Israel go.
