Exodus 8

ECB^{(i) 1} and Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Go to Paroh and say to him, Thus says Yah Veh: Send my people away, to serve me: ² and if you refuse to send them away, behold, I smite all your borders with frogs: ³ and the river teems with frogs - which ascend and come into your house and into your bedchamber and on your bed and into the house of your servants and on your people and into your ovens and into your doughboards ⁴ - and the frogs ascend both on you and on your people and on all your servants. ⁵ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Say to Aharon, Spread your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers and over the marshes and ascend the frogs on the land of Misrayim. ⁶ And Aharon spreads his hand over the waters of Misrayim; and the frogs ascend and cover the land of Misrayim: ⁷ and the magicians work thus with their enchantments and ascend frogs on the land of Misrayim. ⁸ And Paroh calls for Mosheh and Aharon and says, Intreat Yah Veh to turn aside the frogs from me and from my people; and I send the people away to sacrifice to Yah Veh. ⁹ And Mosheh says to Paroh, Embellish over me: when intreat I for you and for your servants and for your people, to cut the frogs from you and your houses, to survive in the river only? ¹⁰ And he says, By the morrow. And he says, As you word! - so that you know there is none like to Yah Veh our Elohim: ¹¹ and turn the frogs aside from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people; to survive in the river only. ¹² And Mosheh and Aharon go out from Paroh: and Mosheh cries to Yah Veh for word of the frogs he set against Paroh. ¹³ And Yah Veh works according to the word of Mosheh: and the frogs die from the houses from the courts and from the fields: ¹⁴ and they heap them together on heaps and the land stinks. ¹⁵ - and Paroh sees there is respite, and he callouses his heart and hearkens not to them; as Yah Veh had worded. ¹⁶ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Say to Aharon, Spread your rod and smite the dust of the land, so that stingers become throughout all the land of Misrayim. ¹⁷ And they work thus: for Aharon spreads his hand with his rod and smites the dust of the earth and stingers become in humanity and in animal; all the dust of the land becomes stingers throughout all the land of Misrayim. ¹⁸ - and the magicians work thus with their enchantments to bring forth stingers, but they cannot: so there stingers become on humanity and on animal. ¹⁹ Then the magicians says to Paroh, This is the finger of Elohim: and the heart of Paroh callouses and he hearkens not to them - as Yah Veh had worded. : ²⁰ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Start early in the morning and stand at the face of Paroh; behold, he comes to the water; and say to him, Thus says Yah Veh: Send my people away to serve me: ²¹ else, if you send not my people away, behold, I send swarmers on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses: and the houses of the Misrayim become full of swarmers and also become on the soil: ²² and in that day, I distinguish the land of Goshen, in which my people stay, so that no swarmers become there: so that you know I - Yah Veh midst the earth: ²³ and I put a redemption between my people and between your people: by the morrow this sign becomes. ²⁴ And thus Yah Veh works: and heavy swarmers come into the house of Paroh and into the houses of his servants and into all the land of Misrayim: the land ruins at the face of the swarmers. ²⁵ And Paroh calls for Mosheh and for Aharon and says, Go, sacrifice to your Elohim in the land. ²⁶ And Mosheh says, It is not established thus to work; for we sacrifice the abhorrence of the Misrayim to Yah Veh our Elohim: behold, we sacrifice the abhorrence of the Misrayim in front of their eyes and they stone us not. ²⁷ We go a journey of three day into the wilderness and sacrifice to Yah Veh our Elohim, as he says to us. ²⁸ And Paroh says, I send you away, to sacrifice to Yah Veh your Elohim in the wilderness: only in removing afar, remove not afar: intreat for me. ²⁹ And Mosheh says, Behold, I go from you and I intreat Yah Veh to turn aside the swarmers from Paroh, from his servants and from his people tomorrow: only that Paroh not add to mock again in not sending the people away to sacrifice to Yah Veh. ³⁰ And Mosheh goes out from Paroh and intreats Yah Veh: ³¹ and Yah Veh works according to the word of Mosheh; and he turns aside the swarmers from Paroh from his servants and from his people - not one survives. ³² And Paroh callouses his heart at this time also, and sends not the people away.
