02:008:026 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall
sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo,
shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes,
and will they not stone us?
02:008:027 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
02:008:028 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice
to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far
away: intreat for me.
02:008:029 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will
intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from
his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal
deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the
LORD.
02:008:030 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
02:008:031 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he
removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from
his people; there remained not one.
02:008:032 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
would he let the people go.
02:009:001 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that
they may serve me.
02:009:002 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
02:009:003 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in
the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the
oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
02:009:004 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and
the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the
children's of Israel.
02:009:005 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
LORD shall do this thing in the land.
02:009:006 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the
cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died
not one.
02:009:007 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the
cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened,
and he did not let the people go.
02:009:008 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the
heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
02:009:009 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and
shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast,
throughout all the land of Egypt.
02:009:010 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil
breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
02:009:011 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the
Egyptians.
02:009:012 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
