Exodus 10:9 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubborn so I can display my miraculous signs among them.
2 I've also done it so you can tell your children and grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and about the signs I displayed among them-- and so you will know that I am the LORD."
3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so they can worship me.
4 If you refuse, watch out! For tomorrow I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country.
5 They will cover the land so that you won't be able to see the ground. They will devour what little is left of your crops after the hailstorm, including all the trees growing in the fields.
6 They will overrun your palaces and the homes of your officials and all the houses in Egypt. Never in the history of Egypt have your ancestors seen a plague like this one!" And with that, Moses turned and left Pharaoh.
7 Pharaoh's officials now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him. "How long will you let this man hold us hostage? Let the men go to worship the LORD their God! Don't you realize that Egypt lies in ruins?"
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. "All right," he told them, "go and worship the LORD your God. But who exactly will be going with you?"
9 Moses replied. "We will all go-- young and old, our sons and daughters, and our flocks and herds. We must all join together in celebrating a festival to the LORD."
10 Pharaoh retorted, "The LORD will certainly need to be with you if I let you take your little ones! I can see through your evil plan.
11 Never! Only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you requested." And Pharaoh threw them out of the palace.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Raise your hand over the land of Egypt to bring on the locusts. Let them cover the land and devour every plant that survived the hailstorm."
13 So Moses raised his staff over Egypt, and the LORD caused an east wind to blow over the land all that day and through the night. When morning arrived, the east wind had brought the locusts.
14 And the locusts swarmed over the whole land of Egypt, settling in dense swarms from one end of the country to the other. It was the worst locust plague in Egyptian history, and there has never been another one like it.
15 For the locusts covered the whole country and darkened the land. They devoured every plant in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had survived the hailstorm. Not a single leaf was left on the trees and plants throughout the land of Egypt.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. "I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you," he confessed.
17 "Forgive my sin, just this once, and plead with the LORD your God to take away this death from me."
18 So Moses left Pharaoh's court and pleaded with the LORD.
19 The LORD responded by shifting the wind, and the strong west wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained in all the land of Egypt.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart again, so he refused to let the people go.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Lift your hand toward heaven, and the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness so thick you can feel it."
22 So Moses lifted his hand to the sky, and a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23 During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.
24 Finally, Pharaoh called for Moses. "Go and worship the LORD," he said. "But leave your flocks and herds here. You may even take your little ones with you."
25 "No," Moses said, "you must provide us with animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings to the LORD our God.
26 All our livestock must go with us, too; not a hoof can be left behind. We must choose our sacrifices for the LORD our God from among these animals. And we won't know how we are to worship the LORD until we get there."
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart once more, and he would not let them go.
28 "Get out of here!" Pharaoh shouted at Moses. "I'm warning you. Never come back to see me again! The day you see my face, you will die!"
29 "Very well," Moses replied. "I will never see your face again."

And he turned H6437 himself , and went out H3318 W-VQY3MS from M-PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS .
7 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s servants H5650 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , How long H5704 PREP shall this man H2088 DPRO be H1961 VQY3MS a snare H4170 unto us ? let the men H376 D-NMP go H7971 VPFC , that they may serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS their God H430 : knowest H3045 thou not yet H2962 that H3588 CONJ Egypt H4714 is destroyed H6 ?
8 And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 were brought again H7725 unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Go H1980 VQI2MP , serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 : but who H4310 IPRO are they that shall go H1980 ?
9 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS , We will go H1980 with our young H5288 and with our old H2205 , with our sons H1121 and with our daughters H1323 , with our flocks H6629 and with our herds H1241 will we go H1980 ; for H3588 CONJ we must hold a feast H2282 unto the LORD H3068 EDS .

11 Not H3808 NADV so H3651 ADV : go H1980 now H4994 IJEC ye that are men H1397 , and serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ that ye H859 PPRO-2MS did desire H1245 . And they were driven out H1644 W-VPQ3MS from Pharaoh H6547 \'s presence H6440 CMP .
12 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , Stretch out H5186 thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS over H5921 PREP the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS for the locusts H697 , that they may come up H5927 upon H5921 PREP the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 , and eat H398 every H3605 NMS herb H6212 NMS of the land H776 D-GFS , even all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO the hail H1259 hath left H7604 .
13 And Moses H4872 stretched forth W-VQY3MS his rod H4294 over H5921 PREP the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and the LORD H3068 W-EMS brought H5090 an east H6921 NMP wind H7307 NFS upon the land H776 B-NFS all H3605 NMS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 D-AMS , and all H3605 NMS that night H3915 AMS ; and when it was H1961 VQQ3MS morning H1242 , the east H6921 wind H7307 NFS brought H5375 VQQ3MS the locusts H697 .
14 And the locusts H697 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS over H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and rested H5117 in all H3605 NMS the coasts H1366 CMS of Egypt H4714 : very H3966 ADV grievous H3515 VQS3MS were they ; before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them there were H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 NADV such H3651 ADV locusts H697 as they , neither H3808 NADV after H310 W-PREP-3MS them shall be H1961 VQY3MS such H3651 ADV .
