And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto
them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my
people are wicked. Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be
no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye
shall stay no longer. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone
out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the
thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou
mayest know how that the earth is the LORD'S. But as for thee and thy
servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God. And the flax
and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax
was bolled. But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were
not grown up. And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and
the rain was not poured upon the earth. And when Pharaoh saw that the
rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and
hardened his heart, he and his servants. And the heart of Pharaoh was
hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD
had spoken by Moses.
CHAPTER 32
THE PLAGUES OF LOCUSTS AND DARKNESS
AND the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened
his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my
signs before him: and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son,
and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my
signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the
LORD. And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him,
Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to
humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I
bring the locusts into thy coast: and they shall cover the face of the
earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the
residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the
hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and
the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy
fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth
unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a
snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God:
knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? And Moses and Aaron were
brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD
your God: but who are they that shall go? And Moses said, We will go
with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters,
with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast
unto the LORD.
