02:010:013 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all
that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
02:010:014 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and
rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them
there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
02:010:015 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the
land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the
fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any
green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the
land of Egypt.
02:010:016 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
02:010:017 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once,
and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death
only.
02:010:018 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
02:010:019 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took
away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not
one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
02:010:020 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
let the children of Israel go.
02:010:021 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward
heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even
darkness which may be felt.
02:010:022 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
02:010:023 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place
for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their
dwellings.
02:010:024 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the
LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little
ones also go with you.
02:010:025 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
02:010:026 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be
left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we
know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
02:010:027 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
them go.
02:010:028 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to
thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou
shalt die.
02:010:029 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
again no more.
02:011:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague
more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence:
when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence
altogether.
02:011:002 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of
silver and jewels of gold.
