Exodus 8:19 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go back to Pharaoh and announce to him, 'This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.
2 If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs across your entire land.
3 The Nile River will swarm with frogs. They will come up out of the river and into your palace, even into your bedroom and onto your bed! They will enter the houses of your officials and your people. They will even jump into your ovens and your kneading bowls.
4 Frogs will jump on you, your people, and all your officials.'"
5 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Raise the staff in your hand over all the rivers, canals, and ponds of Egypt, and bring up frogs over all the land.' "
6 So Aaron raised his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the whole land!
7 But the magicians were able to do the same thing with their magic. They, too, caused frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged, "Plead with the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go, so they can offer sacrifices to the LORD."
9 "You set the time!" Moses replied. "Tell me when you want me to pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. They will remain only in the Nile River."
10 "Do it tomorrow," Pharaoh said."All right," Moses replied, "it will be as you have said. Then you will know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials, and your people. They will remain only in the Nile River."
12 So Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh's palace, and Moses cried out to the LORD about the frogs he had inflicted on Pharaoh.
13 And the LORD did just what Moses had predicted. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields all died.
14 The Egyptians piled them into great heaps, and a terrible stench filled the land.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had predicted.
16 So the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Raise your staff and strike the ground. The dust will turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.'"
17 So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them. When Aaron raised his hand and struck the ground with his staff, gnats infested the entire land, covering the Egyptians and their animals. All the dust in the land of Egypt turned into gnats.
18 Pharaoh's magicians tried to do the same thing with their secret arts, but this time they failed. And the gnats covered everyone, people and animals alike.
19 "This is the finger of God!" the magicians exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh's heart remained hard. He wouldn't listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.
20 Then the LORD told Moses, "Get up early in the morning and stand in Pharaoh's way as he goes down to the river. Say to him, 'This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so they can worship me.
21 If you refuse, then I will send swarms of flies on you, your officials, your people, and all the houses. The Egyptian homes will be filled with flies, and the ground will be covered with them.
22 But this time I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live. No flies will be found there. Then you will know that I am the LORD and that I am present even in the heart of your land.
23 I will make a clear distinction between my people and your people. This miraculous sign will happen tomorrow.' "
24 And the LORD did just as he had said. A thick swarm of flies filled Pharaoh's palace and the houses of his officials. The whole land of Egypt was thrown into chaos by the flies.
25 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron. "All right! Go ahead and offer sacrifices to your God," he said. "But do it here in this land."
26 But Moses replied, "That wouldn't be right. The Egyptians detest the sacrifices that we offer to the LORD our God. Look, if we offer our sacrifices here where the Egyptians can see us, they will stone us.
27 We must take a three-day trip into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God, just as he has commanded us."
28 "All right, go ahead," Pharaoh replied. "I will let you go into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God. But don't go too far away. Now hurry and pray for me."
29 Moses answered, "As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the LORD, and tomorrow the swarms of flies will disappear from you and your officials and all your people. But I am warning you, Pharaoh, don't lie to us again and refuse to let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
30 So Moses left Pharaoh's palace and pleaded with the LORD to remove all the flies.
31 And the LORD did as Moses asked and caused the swarms of flies to disappear from Pharaoh, his officials, and his people. Not a single fly remained.
32 But Pharaoh again became stubborn and refused to let the people go.
1 And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Moses, H4872 Go H935 unto H413 Pharaoh, H6547 and say H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Let H853 my people H5971 go, H7971 that they may serve H5647 me.
2 And if H518 thou H859 refuse H3986 to let them go, H7971 behold, H2009 I H595 will smite H5062 H853 all H3605 thy borders H1366 with frogs: H6854
3 And the river H2975 shall bring forth frogs abundantly H8317 H6854 , which shall go up H5927 and come H935 into thine house, H1004 and into thy bedchamber H2315 H4904 , and upon H5921 thy bed, H4296 and into the house H1004 of thy servants, H5650 and upon thy people, H5971 and into thine ovens, H8574 and into thy kneading troughs: H4863
4 And the frogs H6854 shall come up H5927 both on thee , and upon thy people, H5971 and upon all H3605 thy servants. H5650
5 And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Moses, H4872 Say H559 unto H413 Aaron, H175 Stretch forth H5186 H853 thine hand H3027 with thy rod H4294 over H5921 the streams, H5104 over H5921 the rivers, H2975 and over H5921 the ponds, H98 and cause H853 frogs H6854 to come up H5927 upon H5921 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
6 And Aaron H175 stretched out H5186 H853 his hand H3027 over H5921 the waters H4325 of Egypt; H4714 and the frogs H6854 came up, H5927 and covered H3680 H853 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
7 And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments, H3909 and brought up H5927 H853 frogs H6854 upon H5921 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
8 Then Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for Moses H4872 and Aaron, H175 and said, H559 Entreat H6279 H413 the LORD, H3068 that he may take away H5493 the frogs H6854 from H4480 me , and from my people H4480 H5971 ; and I will let H853 the people H5971 go, H7971 that they may do sacrifice H2076 unto the LORD. H3068
9 And Moses H4872 said H559 unto Pharaoh, H6547 Glory H6286 over H5921 me: when H4970 shall I entreat H6279 for thee , and for thy servants, H5650 and for thy people, H5971 to destroy H3772 the frogs H6854 from H4480 thee and thy houses H4480 H1004 , that they may remain H7604 in the river H2975 only H7535 ?
10 And he said, H559 Tomorrow. H4279 And he said, H559 Be it according to thy word: H1697 that H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 there is none H369 like unto the LORD H3068 our God. H430
11 And the frogs H6854 shall depart H5493 from H4480 thee and from thy houses H4480 H1004 , and from thy servants H4480 H5650 , and from thy people H4480 H5971 ; they shall remain H7604 in the river H2975 only. H7535
12 And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh: H6547 and Moses H4872 cried H6817 unto H413 the LORD H3068 because of H5921 H1697 the frogs H6854 which H834 he had brought H7760 against Pharaoh. H6547
13 And the LORD H3068 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses; H4872 and the frogs H6854 died H4191 out of H4480 the houses, H1004 out of H4480 the villages, H2691 and out of H4480 the fields. H7704
14 And they gathered them together H6651 H853 upon heaps H2563 H2563 : and the land H776 stank. H887
15 But when Pharaoh H6547 saw H7200 that H3588 there was H1961 respite, H7309 he hardened H3513 H853 his heart, H3820 and hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them; as H834 the LORD H3068 had said. H1696
16 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses, H4872 Say H559 unto H413 Aaron, H175 Stretch out H5186 H853 thy rod, H4294 and smite H5221 H853 the dust H6083 of the land, H776 that it may become H1961 lice H3654 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
17 And they did H6213 so; H3651 for Aaron H175 stretched out H5186 H853 his hand H3027 with his rod, H4294 and smote H5221 H853 the dust H6083 of the earth, H776 and it became H1961 lice H3654 in man, H120 and in beast; H929 all H3605 the dust H6083 of the land H776 became H1961 lice H3654 throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
18 And the magicians H2748 did H6213 so H3651 with their enchantments H3909 to bring forth H3318 H853 lice, H3654 but they could H3201 not: H3808 so there were H1961 lice H3654 upon man, H120 and upon beast. H929
19 Then the magicians H2748 said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh, H6547 This H1931 is the finger H676 of God: H430 and Pharaoh's H6547 heart H3820 was hardened, H2388 and he hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 them; as H834 the LORD H3068 had said. H1696
20 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses, H4872 Rise up early H7925 in the morning, H1242 and stand H3320 before H6440 Pharaoh; H6547 lo, H2009 he cometh forth H3318 to the water; H4325 and say H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Let my people H5971 go, H7971 that they may serve H5647 me.
21 Else H3588 , if H518 thou wilt not H369 let H853 my people H5971 go, H7971 behold, H2009 I will send H7971 H853 swarms H6157 of flies upon thee , and upon thy servants, H5650 and upon thy people, H5971 and into thy houses: H1004 and the houses H1004 of the Egyptians H4714 shall be full H4390 of H853 swarms H6157 of flies , and also H1571 the ground H127 whereon H834 H5921 they H1992 are .
22 And I will sever H6395 in that H1931 day H3117 H853 the land H776 of Goshen, H1657 in H5921 which H834 my people H5971 dwell, H5975 that no H1115 swarms H6157 of flies shall be H1961 there; H8033 to the end H4616 thou mayest know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 in the midst H7130 of the earth. H776
23 And I will put H7760 a division H6304 between H996 my people H5971 and thy people: H5971 tomorrow H4279 shall this H2088 sign H226 be. H1961
24 And the LORD H3068 did H6213 so; H3651 and there came H935 a grievous H3515 swarm H6157 of flies into the house H1004 of Pharaoh, H6547 and into his servants' H5650 houses, H1004 and into all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt: H4714 the land H776 was corrupted H7843 by reason of H4480 H6440 the swarm H6157 of flies .
25 And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 for H413 Moses H4872 and for Aaron, H175 and said, H559 Go H1980 ye, sacrifice H2076 to your God H430 in the land. H776
26 And Moses H4872 said, H559 It is not H3808 meet H3559 so H3651 to do; H6213 for H3588 we shall sacrifice H2076 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 to the LORD H3068 our God: H430 lo, H2005 shall we sacrifice H2076 H853 the abomination H8441 of the Egyptians H4714 before their eyes, H5869 and will they not H3808 stone H5619 us?
27 We will go H1980 three H7969 days' H3117 journey H1870 into the wilderness, H4057 and sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 our God, H430 as H834 he shall command H559 H413 us.
28 And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 I H595 will let you go, H7971 that ye may sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in the wilderness; H4057 only H7535 ye shall not H3808 go H1980 very far away H7368 H7368 : entreat H6279 for H1157 me.
29 And Moses H4872 said, H559 Behold, H2009 I H595 go out H3318 from H4480 H5973 thee , and I will entreat H6279 H413 the LORD H3068 that the swarms H6157 of flies may depart H5493 from Pharaoh H4480 H6547 , from his servants H4480 H5650 , and from his people H4480 H5971 , tomorrow: H4279 but H7535 let not H408 Pharaoh H6547 deal deceitfully H2048 any more H3254 in not H1115 letting H853 the people H5971 go H7971 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD. H3068
30 And Moses H4872 went out H3318 from H4480 H5973 Pharaoh, H6547 and entreated H6279 H413 the LORD. H3068
31 And the LORD H3068 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses; H4872 and he removed H5493 the swarms H6157 of flies from Pharaoh H4480 H6547 , from his servants H4480 H5650 , and from his people H4480 H5971 ; there remained H7604 not H3808 one. H259
32 And Pharaoh H6547 hardened H3513 H853 his heart H3820 at this H2063 time H6471 also, H1571 neither H3808 would he let H853 the people H5971 go. H7971
