And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GoH935 in unto PharaohH6547: for I have hardenedH3513 his heartH3820, and the heartH3820 of his servantsH5650, that I might shewH7896 these my signsH226 beforeH7130 him:
And that thou mayest tellH5608 in the earsH241 of thy sonH1121, and of thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, what things I have wroughtH5953 in EgyptH4714, and my signsH226 which I have doneH7760 among them; that ye may knowH3045 how that I am the LORDH3068.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 came inH935 unto PharaohH6547, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, How longH4970 wilt thou refuseH3985 to humbleH6031 thyself beforeH6440 me? let my peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 me.
ElseH3588, if thou refuseH3986 to let my peopleH5971 goH7971, behold, to morrowH4279 will I bringH935 the locustsH697 into thy coastH1366:
And they shall coverH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776, that one cannot be ableH3201 to seeH7200 the earthH776: and they shall eatH398 the residueH3499 of that which is escapedH6413, which remainethH7604 unto you from the hailH1259, and shall eatH398 every treeH6086 which growethH6779 for you out of the fieldH7704: {face: Heb. eye}
And they shall fillH4390 thy housesH1004, and the housesH1004 of all thy servantsH5650, and the housesH1004 of all the EgyptiansH4714; which neither thy fathersH1, nor thy fathers'H1 fathersH1 have seenH7200, since the dayH3117 that they were upon the earthH127 unto this dayH3117. And he turnedH6437 himself, and went outH3318 from PharaohH6547.
And Pharaoh'sH6547 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, How long shall this man be a snareH4170 unto us? let the menH582 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430: knowestH3045 thou not yetH2962 that EgyptH4714 is destroyedH6?
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 were brought againH7725 unto PharaohH6547: and he saidH559 unto them, GoH3212, serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430: but who are they that shall goH1980? {who…: Heb. who and who, etc}
And MosesH4872 saidH559, We will goH3212 with our youngH5288 and with our oldH2205, with our sonsH1121 and with our daughtersH1323, with our flocksH6629 and with our herdsH1241 will we goH3212; for we must hold a feastH2282 unto the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559 unto them, Let the LORDH3068 be so with you, as I will let you goH7971, and your little onesH2945: lookH7200 to it; for evilH7451 is beforeH6440 you.
Not so: goH3212 now ye that are menH1397, and serveH5647 the LORDH3068; for that ye did desireH1245. And they were driven outH1644 from Pharaoh'sH6547 presenceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for the locustsH697, that they may come upH5927 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and eatH398 every herbH6212 of the landH776, even all that the hailH1259 hath leftH7604.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 broughtH5090 an eastH6921 windH7307 upon the landH776 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 broughtH5375 the locustsH697.
And the locustsH697 went upH5927 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and restedH5117 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714: veryH3966 grievousH3515 were they; beforeH6440 them there were no suchH3651 locustsH697 as they, neither afterH310 them shall be such.
For they coveredH3680 the faceH5869 of the whole earthH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821; and they did eatH398 every herbH6212 of the landH776, and all the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 which the hailH1259 had leftH3498: and there remainedH3498 not any green thingH3418 in the treesH6086, or in the herbsH6212 of the fieldH7704, through all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Then PharaohH6547 calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in hasteH4116; and he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and against you. {called: Heb. hastened to call}
Now therefore forgiveH5375, I pray thee, my sinH2403 only this onceH6471, and intreatH6279 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that he may take awayH5493 from me this deathH4194 only.
And he went outH3318 from PharaohH6547, and intreatedH6279 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 turnedH2015 a mightyH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which took awayH5375 the locustsH697, and castH8628 them into the RedH5488 seaH3220; there remainedH7604 not oneH259 locustH697 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714. {cast: Heb. fastened}
But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, so that he would not let the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 toward heavenH8064, that there may be darknessH2822 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even darknessH2822 which may be feltH4959. {even…: Heb. that one may feel darkness}
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 toward heavenH8064; and there was a thickH653 darknessH2822 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 threeH7969 daysH3117:
They sawH7200 not oneH376 anotherH251, neither roseH6965 anyH376 from his place for threeH7969 daysH3117: but all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had lightH216 in their dwellingsH4186.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 unto MosesH4872, and saidH559, GoH3212 ye, serveH5647 the LORDH3068; only let your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241 be stayedH3322: let your little onesH2945 also goH3212 with you.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Thou must giveH5414 usH3027 also sacrificesH2077 and burnt offeringsH5930, that we may sacrificeH6213 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430. {us: Heb. into our hands}
Our cattleH4735 also shall goH3212 with us; there shall not an hoofH6541 be left behindH7604; for thereof must we takeH3947 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 our GodH430; and we knowH3045 not with what we must serveH5647 the LORDH3068, until we comeH935 thither.
But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, and he wouldH14 not let them goH7971.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, GetH3212 thee from me, take heedH8104 to thyself, seeH7200 my faceH6440 no moreH3254; for in that dayH3117 thou seestH7200 my faceH6440 thou shalt dieH4191.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Thou hast spokenH1696 wellH3651, I will seeH7200 thy faceH6440 againH3254 no more.

A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
A fireH784 devourethH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escapeH6413 them.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.

Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:

Behold, to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 I will cause it to rainH4305 a veryH3966 grievousH3515 hailH1259, such as hath not beenH3644 in EgyptH4714 sinceH4480 the foundationH3117+H3245 thereof even until now.
