Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD,
that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will
let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. And Moses
said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and
for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee
and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said,
To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest
know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. And the frogs shall
depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from
thy people; they shall remain in the river only. And Moses and Aaron
went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the
frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. And the LORD did according
to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the
villages, and out of the fields. And they gathered them together upon
heaps: and the land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite,
he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had
said.
CHAPTER 30
THE PLAGUES OF LICE, FLIES, MURRAIN, AND BOILS
[Sidenote: Exodus 8]
AND the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and
smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the
land of Egypt. And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with
his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man,
and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the
land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments to
bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and
upon beast. Then the magicians 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 said.
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. 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. And I will sever 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. And I will put a division between my people
and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. And the LORD did so; and
there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and
into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was
corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
